“Today” show host Savannah Guthrie made an emotional appeal to viewers Tuesday. She pleaded with them to step forward with any information about her missing mother.

Reporting from overnight Monday revealed the Guthries were told their mom, Nancy, died shortly after her February abduction.

Savannah Guthrie said the family was in “agony” over Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, but said she would not comment on stories about the contents of ransom notes tied to the case.
