周六发布的一段新视频中,《今日》节目联合主持人萨凡纳·古思里表示,她和两个兄弟姐妹愿意为母亲南希·古思里的安全返回支付赎金。当局认为南希上周从亚利桑那州图森市的家中被绑架。
“我们收到了你的信息,我们明白,”古思里在发布到她社交媒体账号的简短视频中说道。”我们恳求你现在把我们的母亲还给我们,这样我们就能和她一起庆祝。这是我们获得平静的唯一方式。这对我们来说非常珍贵,我们会支付赎金。”
古思里和她的兄弟姐妹卡姆伦、安妮·古思里坐在她身边说话的最新视频发布之前,当地和联邦当局周五表示,他们已注意到有关其母亲失踪的新信息。目前尚不清楚这是何种信息。
美国联邦调查局菲尼克斯分局特别探员负责人海斯·扬克表示,调查人员正在认真对待的一封勒索信中包含周四下午5点的最后期限。扬克说,该信要求用比特币支付赎金,如果未进行转账,第二个要求是下周一付款。

退休FBI监督特工兼人质谈判专家杰森·帕克表示,古思里周六的视频信息显示”在难以想象的悲痛和压力下表现出非凡的自制力”。
“四天内,他们从情感恳求转变为要求确认安全视频,再到公开提出支付赎金,”帕克分析了古思里可能向绑架者传递的信息。”每一步都是为了保持沟通渠道畅通,并降低任何可能阻碍南希安全返回的障碍。”
帕克还指出,古思里选择使用”庆祝”一词也很引人注目。
“这是一种解决而非对抗的语言,”帕克告诉CBS新闻。”在任何谈判中,你都希望为对方提供一种让他们也能看到和平、积极结局的方式。这正是这个家庭正在做的。”
与此同时,周六侦探们继续在图森市卡塔琳娜山麓南希·古思里家周围地区进行搜查。
皮马县警长部门表示,调查人员目前尚未确认任何与该案有关的嫌疑人、相关人员或车辆。两名执法部门消息人士周六告诉CBS新闻,调查人员”正在获取有价值的信息”,但”目前没有紧急情况”。
消息人士称,南希·古思里的车已被从家中拖走,调查人员正在检查车内是否有指纹和其他潜在线索。调查人员还移除了家中屋顶的一台摄像头。
FBI已宣布提供5万美元悬赏,以获取导致南希·古思里被寻回或逮捕并定罪相关失踪人员的信息。
任何有关于南希·古思里失踪信息的人,均被敦促拨打皮马县警长举报热线:520-351-4900。

Savannah Guthrie says “we will pay” in new plea for mother’s safe return
February 7, 2026 / 8:44 PM EST / CBS News
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.

Retired FBI supervisory agent and hostage negotiator Jason Pack said Guthrie’s video message on Saturday showed “extraordinary discipline under unimaginable grief and pressure.”
“In four days, they moved from an emotional plea, to a proof-of-life demand, to a public offer to pay,” Pack said, offering his analysis of Guthrie’s message for the possible abductor or abductors. “Every step was designed to keep the line of communication open and lower every possible barrier to Nancy’s safe return.”
Guthrie’s choice to use the word “celebrate” also stood out, Pack said.
“That’s the language of resolution, not confrontation,” Pack told CBS News. “In any negotiation, you want to offer the other party a way to see this ending positively and peacefully for them too. That’s exactly what the family is doing.”
On Saturday, meanwhile, detectives continued to conduct searches in the surrounding area of Nancy Guthrie’s home in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said investigators so far have not identified any suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles connected to the case. Two law enforcement sources told CBS News on Saturday that investigators are “developing good information” but that “nothing is imminent.”
The sources said Nancy Guthrie’s car was towed from the home, and that investigators were examining it for possible fingerprints and potential other clues. Investigators also removed a camera from the roof of the home.
The FBI has announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery or the arrest and conviction of the people involved in her disappearance.
Anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is urged to call the Pima County Sheriff’s tip line at 520-351-4900.
