Savannah Guthrie shared a new statement about her mother, Nancy Guthrie, as the search for the missing matriarch continues.
“Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home,” Savannah, 54, captioned a new Instagram video posted on Tuesday, February 24. She also shared the phone number for the FBI’s tip line, noting that callers “can remain anonymous” or “find a way to reach out to me.”
Her caption also revealed that the family’s reward has been raised to $1 million, which will be paid “only for the recovery” of Nancy.
“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, missing her,” Savannah said in her video. “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. Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe. We still believe in a miracle.”
Savannah was holding back tears while telling followers that her sister, Annie Guthrie, says the family is “blowing on the embers of hope” amid Nancy’s disappearance.
“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 and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother, Pierce, and with our daddy, the if this is what is to be, then we will accept it,” she added. “But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”
Nancy, 84, was last seen at her Arizona home on January 31. Her family reported her missing the following day.
“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support. Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom,” the Guthrie family said in a statement at the time. “We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.”
The day after Nancy was reported missing, Savannah shared a message of hope on social media.
“We believe in prayer. We believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope. We believe in goodness. We believe in humanity. Above all, we believe in Him,” she wrote via Instagram on February 2. “Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment.”
Savannah then pointed to a Bible verse, adding, “We need you. ‘He will keep in perfect peace those whose hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.’ A verse of Isaiah for all time for all of us.”
She concluded, “Bring her home.”
Savannah’s siblings, Annie and Camron Guthrie, subsequently took part in a follow-up video with their sister.
“Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are God’s precious daughter, Nancy,” Savannah said in the February 4 Instagram post. “We believe and know that even in this valley, He is with you. Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again. We speak to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we rejoice in advance that the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mom.”
Three days later, the siblings addressed their mother’s kidnapper in another Instagram video.
“We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her,” Savannah said on February 7. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”
The following week, Savannah shared an emotional plea for Nancy’s return.
“It’s been two weeks since our mom was taken, and I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope,” she said in a February 15 Instagram video. “We still believe, and I wanted to say to whoever has her, or knows where she is, that it’s never too late and you’re not lost or alone.”
She continued, “It is never too late to do the right thing and we are here. We believe. We believe in the essential goodness [of] every human being, and it’s never too late.”
Amid the ongoing search for Nancy, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed on February 16 that Savannah’s family were no longer considered potential suspects in the case.
“To be clear … the Guthrie family — to include all siblings and spouses — have been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” Nanos said in a statement via X. “To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple … please, I’m begging you the media to honor your profession and report with some sense of compassion and professionalism.”
The FBI previously released photos and video footage of a masked individual at Nancy’s home, but three weeks into the search, no suspects have been officially identified.
