Savannah Guthrie has posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, urging anyone who may know about her mother Nancy's disappearance in February to step forward. The former "Today" host shared a drawing from her daughter that reads, "I know it might not seem like it, but I really need my mommy," and described how it reflects her pain.
Guthrie explained that the world keeps moving, but her family cannot move on. She added, "For Annie and Tommy, for Cam and Kristine, for Mike and me and for all of mom's beloved grandchildren: we ache for her, we cry out for answers, we cannot move forward. We need someone to help us, tell us what you know. Our mom was a light in this world. We want to celebrate her and give her the dignity she deserves. The reward is still available. Please. We are begging you. Please help us."
She thanked those who had shown support and asked others to keep praying. In an August post marking six months since Nancy was taken, Guthrie reflected on the pain that has followed her family. She wrote, "We have lived every moment, every breath, and every heartbeat in agony and despair ever since," and added that she continues to try to stay strong, as her mother taught her to do.
A month earlier, the host addressed her mother's kidnappers directly in an Instagram video. She said, "I'm coming on today with a very specific message. It has been months since our mom was taken from us. Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare that will not end. Nothing about our situation has changed." She emphasized that her family has done everything possible and will never stop searching, adding that they will always ache for her.
Nancy vanished on Feb. 1 after missing her routine Sunday church service. The next day, the Pima County Sheriff's Department labeled her disappearance a presumed kidnapping, citing concerning evidence at her Tucson, Ariz. residence. The FBI joined the search, initially offering a $100,000 reward for information that would lead to Nancy's recovery. The reward was later increased to $200,000 and then to $1 million on Feb. 24.
