Savannah Guthrie offers to pay her mother's kidnappers

The development came after cops searched the house of Savannah's sister Annie Guthrie and her husband Tommaso Cioni late in the evening on Saturday. Annie’s property is said to be about four miles away from her mother’s house, from where she went missing in the night on January 31. She was reported missing on February 1 by her family. 

The search was carried out hours after the 54-year-old journalist and her siblings released a new video message addressing their mother’s kidnappers.

Holding hands with her siblings, Savannah said, “We received your message, and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her.”

“This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us - and we will pay,” she shared but without giving out any details about the message she referenced.
