“Today” host Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a new video on Saturday in which they demand the return of their missing mother and say, “We will pay.”
“We received your message and we understand it,” Guthrie said in a short video posted on Instagram. “Now please bring our mother back to us so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is of great value to us, and we will pay the price.”
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on January 31, and authorities said they believe she was abducted from her home.

“We are aware of the video posted by the Guthrie family. But we do not have any additional information to share,” a spokesman for Pima Sharif said in a statement to ABC News on Saturday after the latest video from the family was released.
The message Savannah Guthrie is referring to in her new Instagram post is the same message the FBI and Pima Sheriff said they were considering on Friday, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
Investigators have not yet confirmed the authenticity of the final message received by the Tucson TV station, nor any of the other ransom notes mentioning Nancy Guthrie, according to a source familiar with the investigation.

However, investigators continue to take all messages seriously.
The source said no new leads emerged Saturday, echoing an earlier statement from the Pima County Police Department.
The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information that could lead to the recovery and/or arrest and conviction of Nancy Guthrie for her kidnapping.
Nancy Guthrie was dropped off at her home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, Arizona, shortly after 10 p.m. on Jan. 31, after eating dinner with her family, according to authorities. She was reported missing the next morning after she did not show up to church, according to authorities.

Authorities said the doorbell camera at her home went off about 1:45 a.m. Sunday. Just before 2:30 a.m., the pacemaker app indicated it had been disconnected from her phone, according to authorities.

Her blood was also found on the balcony of her house, according to the sheriff.
Investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in the case, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a news conference Thursday.
The ransom notes were sent to numerous local and national media outlets and are being taken seriously, according to the FBI.
Before posting the video on Saturday, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings posted other videos urging their mother’s suspected kidnappers to contact them and provide proof that she is still alive.
