Here, they're pictured in an undated photograph. Arizona officials say they are investigating Nancy Guthrie's disappearance as a "crime."

"We believe our mom is still out there," she said. "We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly, around the clock, trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken, and we don't know where."

The "Today" host did not directly address the ransom notes in her Feb. 9 video. Two days earlier, on Feb. 7, sheshared a separate video speakingdirectly to the suspected kidnapper.

"We received your message, and we understand," Guthrie said while sitting next to her brother, Camron, and sister, Annie. "We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."

What is known about alleged Nancy Guthrie ransom notes

That Feb. 7 video came one day after the the Pima County Sheriff's Department said authorities were working with the FBI to investigate a "new message regarding Nancy Guthrie." They did not share further details about the alleged message.

In another video on Feb. 5, Camron Guthrieurged the purported kidnapperto "reach out" to the family, saying that "we need a way to communicate with you so that we can move forward." He noted the family had not directly heard anything from the person at that point.

In a media briefing on Feb. 4, FBI Phoenix Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke said the bureau was investigating a ransom note that had "facts associated with a deadline" and a "monetary value they were asking for," but did not include a way for the family to communicate with the author. "There has been no proof of life, and there was no other demands within that letter," Janke said.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI has not identified any suspects or persons of interest in the case. The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to Guthrie's return or the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for her disappearance.

Al Rokeris ready to deliver his career forecast.

The legendary weatherman and longtime TV anchor recently celebrated his 30th anniversary atToday, a milestone that spurred a flurry of rumors about Roker's eventual departure from the show. But during a recent chat withPEOPLE, Roker insisted that as far he knows, retirement isn't in the near future.

"Let's put it this way: I haven't thought about retirement," he told the outlet, before joking, "Somebody at NBC, that might be a different story."

He continued, "I love what I do. I feel good. I love this job. I love doing it. At some point I guess I won't be, but I don't feel like that's anytime soon, so I'm just gonna keep going."

The veteran meteorologist has been part of the morning show's team ever since 1996, when he stepped in to replace the late Willard Scott. Three decades in, Roker acknowledged that much has changed, but praised the show's continued dedication to delivering on its values.

"I think that's the beauty of the broadcast is that the mission over these 74 years has not changed," Roker said. "The fact of the matter is we are each temporary custodians of this legacy. At some point I won't be part of the show, somebody else will be, but to be part of a pretty cool club is very special. To say that this was a dream job isn't really accurate because it never dawned on me that I could be on theTodayshow."

Roker added that he's been "really, really fortunate" to have been part of the show for such a long stretch of time.

To celebrate Roker's professional milestone,Todayhosted an"Al-iversary" specialthat was jam-packed with tributes from his costars, celebrity guest appearances, and even a playful recreation of Roker's signature fashion style — fedora and all. At one point,Howard Sternpopped in torequest that Roker spill the teaon which guest "had the worst breath," along with other secrets from hisTodaytenure. But Roker responded by reiterating that he expects to be around for a while longer.

"After I'm finally off the air — but not until then," he said about revealing such info. He then joked, "I need this job. I got a daughter getting married this spring."

Roker also serves as the co-host of the "3rd Hour" block ofToday, alongside Craig Melvin and Dylan Dreyer. The Emmy-winning TV personality has interviewed numerous notable figures in entertainment including Betty White, Carl Reiner, and Dick Van Dyke.

After being honored by his fellowTodayanchors witha look back on his career, Roker turned to the audience to say, "My family here means so much to me. I think about my parents, too. I wouldn't be here if it weren't for Allen and Isabel Roker. And all of you," he added with a nod at the camera. "It's just been an honor."

'70s rock songs that wouldn't fly today

Seventies rock produced enduring classics alongside tracks reflecting deeply troubling attitudes toward women, race, and power dynamics. Cultural standards and social expectations have evolved dramatically since that turbulent era. Many beloved hits that dominated radio contained lyrics that today's audiences find deeply problematic and offensive.

"Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones

This 1971 hitexplores the sexual exploitation of enslaved Black women by slave traders.The lyricscontain problematic references to slavery, sex, sadomasochism, and heroin.Mick Jaggeracknowledged it was disgusting, calling it a mishmash of nasty subjects.The Rolling Stonesremoved it from their 2021 tour setlist.

"Under My Thumb" by The Rolling Stones

Released three years after Betty Friedan kicked off the women's rights movement,this depicts a once-wild woman become subservient. It appeared on Aftermath with similarly misogynistic tracks "Stupid Girl" and "Out of Time". The lyrics celebrate controlling and dominating women, presenting this power dynamic as desirable. Such attitudes clash sharply with the modern understanding of healthy equal partnerships.

"Young Girl" by Gary Puckett and the Union Gap

Gary Puckett's huge, powerful voicepropelled some of the creepiest songs into the Top Ten. This 1968 hit depicts an adult man struggling with attraction to an underage girl. The song treats this inappropriate dynamic as romantic rather than predatory. Modern record labels would immediately reject this disturbing concept entirely.

"Hey Joe" by Jimi Hendrix

The blues historycontains songs about physically harming unfaithful women. Hendrix's groundbreaking guitar work added menace and violence to previously recorded versions. The lyrics describe hunting down an unfaithful partner to shoot her dead. While the musical performance was brilliant, the narrative glorifies lethal violence against women.

"Island Girl" by Elton John

This 1975 hitis both racist and sexist, describing a Jamaican adult entertainment worker servicing white men. The song uses the offensive phrase Black as coal but burning like fire. Bernie Taupin's lyrics ask what the island girl wants from the white man's world. Elton John doesn't perform it anymore for very good reason. The stereotyping remains deeply offensive today.

"Run for Your Life" by The Beatles

This 1965 trackfeatures John Lennon singing about jealousy taken to murderous extremes. The lyrics threaten a woman's life if seen with another man. Lennon later expressed regret, acknowledging its troubling message. The casual acceptance of threatening violence reflected attitudes that today spark immediate condemnation.

"She's Only Seventeen" by Winger

This 1988 trackcelebrates pursuing an underage girl. The song presents the age gap as exciting rather than inappropriate. Modern audiences recognize such content as normalizing predatory behavior. Radio stations refuse to play similar material today.

These songs reflected cultural attitudes, allowing casual misogyny, racism, and glorification of control over women.
