TODAY Show host Savannah Guthrie has not given up hope of finding her mother, Nancy.
“I’m coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed, and every hour and minute and second and every long night has been agony since then, of worrying about her and fearing for her, aching for her, and most of all, just missing her,” Guthrie shared in an emotional Instagram video.
Nancy was taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Feb. 1.

“We know that millions of you have been praying. So many people have been praying of every faith and no faith at all, praying for her return, and we feel those prayers,” Guthrie continued. “Please, keep praying without ceasing. We still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home.”
The TODAY host also faced the hard truth that her mother might already be with Jesus in heaven.
“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves,” she said. “If this is what is to be, then we will accept it. But we need to know where she is.”
Guthrie and her family, alongside the FBI, have increased the reward to $1 million for the recovery of her mother.
“The family of missing Tucson woman Nancy Guthrie is offering a private $1 million reward for credible information that directly leads to her return,” the FBI wrote on X. “If you have firsthand knowledge of Nancy’s whereabouts or any information about where she may be located, please contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Due to high call volume, you may experience delays when submitting information.”
The Guthries also know that they are not the only ones who have lost a loved one this way. So they are also donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
“We also know that we are not alone in our loss. We know there are millions of families that have suffered with this kind of uncertainty, and for that reason today, we also are donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for their work and helping families who are coping with loss and actively looking for those who are lost,” Guthrie said. “We are hoping that the attention that has been given to our mom and our family will extend to all the families like ours who are in need and need prayers and need support.”
Continue to keep the Guthrie family and Nancy in your prayers.
