The kidnapping of "Today" anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother is sending shockwaves through the nation. The family is holding out hope for her safe return, while raising concerns for people about the safety of their own elderly loved ones living alone.

The search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, has just surpassed its 10th day, with authorities releasing images and videos of a masked and "armed" individual appearing to tamper with Guthrie's Nest doorbell cameras the morning she was taken.

The 84-year-old was last seen Jan. 31 when family members dropped her off at her home in Tucson, Arizona, after a game night. After she failed to show up for church the next morning, her family went to her house to check on her. When they couldn't find her, they reported her missing.

In the search for their mother, the NBC anchor and her siblings have issued emotional public statements asking for her safety and to bring her back home. They've offered to pay unverified ransom notes sent to media outlets, stressing their mother's need for her daily heart medication.

"We will not rest," Guthrie said to her mother on Feb. 4 in an Instagram video. "Your children will not rest until we are together again."
