‘We still believe in a miracle’

Savannah Guthrie has shared a new video message for the world. The news anchor and TV personality is still on the hunt for her missing mother, Nancy, 84, who was taken from her home almost a month ago. 

In a new video shared on her social media channels, Guthrie announced a $1 million reward for her mother as the search enters its fourth week. Nancy went missing in Arizona, and is believed to have been taken from her home in Tucson. 

Guthrie’s video marks her first public statement in over a week. “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, and aching for her, and most of all, just missing her,” she said. 

“We know that millions of you have been praying,” she said. “We feel those prayers.”

“We still believe in a miracle. We still believe she can come home.” Still, she made it clear that with every passing hour, the situation grows more complicated. “She may be lost. She may already be gone,” Guthrie said. 

“But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home. For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $ 1 million. For any information that leads us to her recovery.” 

Guthrie also shared that her family had donated $500 thousand to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an organization centered on finding missing people. “Please come forward. Tell what you know,” she concluded. 

More details about the investigation

Over the past month, the FBI has been on the hunt for Nancy, announcing a $100,000 reward for information that could result in her recovery or the arrest of the parties responsible. Guthrie has shared different videos with her family, asking for the responsible parties to come forward, but there appear to have been no major breakthroughs.

On February 15, Guthrie shared a video where she addressed the kidnapper directly. “I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is, that it’s never too late. You’re not lost or alone. And it is never too late to do the right thing, and we are here. We believe in the essential goodness of every human being, and it’s never too late,” she said.
