Savannah Guthrie pleaded with viewers Tuesday to come forward with any new information, following reports that one of the ransom notes sent to her family declared her mother dead. 
"I just want to take the opportunity to ask people, to really to beg people to come forward. 
Somebody knows something. 
This is a new story today that is on your radar but this is the life that my sister lives, I live, my brother lives, our extended families live, our children live every day. 
We are in agony," Savannah Guthrie said Tuesday. 
Sunday marked 20 weeks since Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson. 
"We cannot be at peace no matter how much I try to come out here every day and smile and find that joy, and I will, I promise I will, this is the moment to tell you that we need your help. 
We’re begging for your help. 
I’m not going to miss that opportunity. 
And so please, if you’re watching, no matter how small the reward is there, you can tell us. 
It can be anonymous. 
Please do the right thing for us, for our family, for our children. 
We love our mom. 
We’ll never stop looking for her, never," Savannah Guthrie added.
