On Monday, a ransom note emerged that the family received in February, claiming the senior was dead. The Today team played a clip that Guthrie and his siblings shared on Instagram the next day.
‘We now beg you to give us back our mother so we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we can find peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay for it,’ the announcer said at the time.
