Savannah Guthrie shared a sweet montage of Nancy Guthrie on Mother’s Day amid her disappearance. The Today show co-anchor reiterated pleas for help after her mother was last seen in late January.
“mother, daughter, sister, Nonie – we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you,” she wrote.
“We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference. Call 1800CALLFBI. You can be anonymous and the reward remains available. Please keep praying. Bring her home. 💛”
The journalist returned to her co-hosting duties early last month.
After running through the headlines on her first show back April 6, Guthrie, with a smile, told viewers, “We are so glad you started your week with us, and it is good to be home.”
“Yes, it is good to have you back at home,” said her co-host, Craig Melvin.
Later during the program, as the Today team went outside, Guthrie fought back tears as she gazed at spectators’ signs welcoming her back. “These signs are so beautiful,” she said. “You guys have been so beautiful. I received so many letters. So much kindness to me and my whole family. We feel it. We feel your prayers.”
Nancy Guthrie, was last seen at night Jan. 31, when she was dropped off at her home by a relative. She was reported missing around noon the next day. Three days later, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters that authorities believe she was “taken from her house against her will,” as blood had been found on her porch matching her DNA and her security camera had been unplugged.
Officials have been examining suspected ransom notes sent to TMZ and local outlets, and Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have released a number of statements urging their mother’s return. Nanos has stated that all family members have been cleared as possible suspects.
Federal investigators have collected DNA from someone other than Nancy Guthrie on her property. The FBI said it obtained a sample from a glove that was found near her abode that appears to match a pair worn by the masked and armed individual spotted on doorbell camera footage previously released by the government agency. The analysis was last awaiting “quality control and official confirmation” before results were to be compared against known DNA profiles in a national database. The FBI is offering a reward of $100,000, while the family has offered $1 million for information that leads to her recovery.
