In a new video released Saturday, "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie said she and her two siblings are willing to pay for the safe return of their mother, Nancy Guthrie, who authorities believe was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona, home last weekend."We received your message and we understand," Guthrie said in a short video posted to her social media account. "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."The latest video of Guthrie speaking and her siblings, Camron and Annie Guthrie, sitting by her side comes after local and federal authorities said Friday they're "aware of a new message" regarding their mother's disappearance. It's unclear what kind of message it is.A ransom note that investigators said they're taking seriously included a deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday, said Heith Janke, the special agent in charge of the FBI's field office in Phoenix. The note demanded payment in bitcoin, and if a transfer wasn't made, then a second demand was for next Monday, Janke said.
