NBC "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie has sent a public message to her mother's kidnapper saying that her family is ready to talk but wants proof that she is alive.
Guthrie said in a recorded video posted on social media Wednesday that her family has heard about a ransom letter in media reports.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen Saturday around 9:45 p.m. when she was dropped off at home by family after having dinner with them.
She was reported missing midday Sunday after she didn't appear at a church.
Authorities on Wednesday offered no detailed update on their search.
