00:00Late Wednesday night, Today Show host Savannah Guthrie and her two older siblings
00:04posted a plea to their mom's possible kidnappers.
00:08We are ready to talk.
00:12However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated.
00:21We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her.
00:30We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen.
00:34Then speaking directly to her mom, Savannah said, your children will not rest until we
00:40are together again.
00:41The family video was posted online a short time after federal agents and their canine
00:46teams returned to Nancy Guthrie's home and launched what's been described as a massive
00:50search of the wooded area around her property.
00:53And police also inspected Guthrie's garage.
00:55But about two hours after it began, the police tape was removed and authorities left the
01:00scene.
01:01President Trump waited on Truth Social Wednesday night after speaking with Savannah earlier
01:05in the day, posting, we are deploying all resources to get her mother home safely before adding
01:11God bless and protect Nancy.
01:13Now, authorities are still not sharing too much information.
01:17But what we do know is that Nancy Guthrie is still missing.
01:21She may be injured and she hasn't had access to life-saving medication for more than four
01:27days.
01:28And yet, Chris Nanos, the Pima County, Arizona sheriff overseeing the investigation, still
01:34has hope.
01:35He told NBC News on Wednesday, quote, we have nothing else to go on but the belief that she
01:40is here, she's present, she's alive, and we want to save her.
01:44Nanos added that while his department still has no suspects, they do have what he called
01:49critical leads, and perhaps that's what brought them back to the house on Wednesday night.
01:54Now, earlier in the day Wednesday, authorities questioned the last person to see Nancy before
01:59her abduction, her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni.
02:02He was the person who dropped her off at her Tucson area home Saturday night.
02:07Nanos told the New York Times that Cioni ensured that Guthrie was safely inside of her home that
02:11night before he left.
02:13Cioni is a local sixth grade science teacher and his wife, Annie, that's Savannah's older
02:17sister, is a jewelry maker in the Tucson area.
