Nancy, I will tell you that one of the things that I noticed when we first started looking into this story is how emotional you got and how many of Savannah Guthrie's co-workers, people who have worked with her over the years, how emotional they got because she is genuinely, truly liked and

She is actually at her wit's end.

As you mentioned, she's been down this road and covering stories.

Savannah Guthrie is reaching out and saying, please pray.

Pray for my mom.

We need her back.

She knows all these signs are sadly not good.

And yet there's still hope.

And there are even signs out in front of the yard somebody had made in front of Nancy Guthrie's home saying, we stand with you.

You know, Savannah was on her way to covering the Olympics.

You mentioned she just returned to the set of the Today Show a week and a half ago after being off for throat surgery, where she couldn't even speak and her voice is just now coming back.

It's been a tough time for her over the last couple of months.

She just got back on the set and now she's out, of course, in Arizona to be there to help find her mom.

And I think the shocking part of all of this, Nancy, is we have an 84-year-old woman of sound mind, but with physical ailments preventing her from being able to go more than 50 yards.

She has medication she has to take 24 hours and the max she can go.

And we're now well past that.

So she's without her medication.

She might be hurt.

We've got blood going from the entryway to the driveway.

Nancy, at this hour, we are following up on claims there could be a ransom note with the alleged kidnappers demanding a specific amount of Bitcoin and demanding the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific Bitcoin address.
