NBC's Today demonstrate co-host savannah river woody guthrie and her siblings posted an emotional plea on societal media midweek with a message to anyone who might be holding her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, for ransom.
Multiple media organizations reported receiving what appeared to be ransom notes Tuesday that they handed over to investigators.
"We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media," Savannah Guthrie said in the video. "However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please reach out to us."

The Pima County sheriff's department in Arizona has said it's taking the notes and other tips seriously but declined to comment further.
Guthrie, 84, was last seen Saturday around 9:45 p.m. Local time when she was dropped off at Tucson-area home by family after having dinner with them, the sheriff's department said.
She was reported missing midday Sunday after she didn't appear at church.
Sheriff Chris Nanos's office said Wednesday that detectives still were speaking with anyone who had contact with Nancy Guthrie last weekend but that no suspect or person of interest had been identified.
The home where she lived alone has been turned back over to family.
There were signs of forced entry at the home in the Catalina Foothills neighbourhood. Guthrie has limited mobility, and officials do not believe she left the home on her own.
A sheriff's dispatcher talking to deputies during a search Sunday indicated that Guthrie has high blood pressure, a pacemaker and heart issues, according to audio from broadcastify.com.
