India, Feb. 10 -- In a new plea video, Today co-host Savannah Guthrie has stated that her family holds the belief that their abducted mother is still alive.

While seeking public help, Savannah showed several indications of resilience and defiance.

"We are in a state of desperation. We are convinced that our mother is still out there. She was abducted, and we are unaware of her whereabouts," she said in a video shared on her Instagram account, urging anyone with information.

"We believe our mum is still out there. We need your help."

As the reported ransom deadline for the safe return of Guthrie's mother, Nancy, elapsed on Monday, officials suggested that they had yet to identify a suspect or person of interest.
