GB News was halted for an urgent breaking alert, as anchor Ben Leo delivered the latest in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. The 84-year-old, who is mother to NBC News presenter Savannah Guthrie, was allegedly kidnapped from her Arizona home on February 1st, with a mystery rapidly developing around the case.
Now her daughter Savannah has issued a fresh plea in an emotional video message. GB News aired the message in its entirety, which showed the news anchor saying: “I wanted to come on and… it’s been two weeks since my mom was taken, and I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope. We still believe. I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is, that… it’s never too late. And you’re not lost or alone.
“It is never too late to do the right thing. We are here, and we believe, and we believe in the essential goodness of every human being. It is never too late,” she reiterated.
On GB News, anchor Leo said: “That video has just dropped, it’s the daughter of Nancy Guthrie, the US TV news anchor Savannah, releasing a fresh plea for the release of her mother and saying she still has hope.
“It’s been three long weeks [sic] and I can’t imagine the pain and the questions that are running through her and her siblings’ heads right now.

“It is a growing mystery which is proving challenging for the authorities. It’s been three weeks [sic], 13,000 leads, they’ve investigated some high profile ones which have been reported and turned out to be nothing. What’s going on?”
US correspondent Simon replied: “I don’t know why it is we have a case like this every so often – there was the Lindberg baby in the 30s, there was Elizabeth Smart, it’s just awful.
“There’s a special place in hell for someone who would kidnap an 80-something year old woman.”
Viewers on X hailed the segment “deeply worrying” – and the story continues to develop.
