NBC Today show host Savannah Guthrie shared a public message with her 84-year-old mother’s alleged kidnapper on Wednesday, saying her family is ready to communicate with whoever is responsible but needs proof that Nancy Guthrie is alive.

Guthrie confirmed in an Instagram video that she and her family had heard media reports of ransom notes being sent to news outlets about her mother, whom police believe was forcibly taken from her Arizona home.

“We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” Savannah Guthrie said.
