NBC’s Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie announced Tuesday that her family has put up a $1 million reward for any information that could lead to finding her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared from her Arizona residence over three weeks ago.
The television host shared that while her family continues to hope for her mother’s safe return, they’re also preparing for the possibility that it may be too late. Law enforcement officials have raised concerns about the 84-year-old’s wellbeing due to her need for essential daily medications.
“She may already be gone,” Guthrie wrote on Instagram. “She may already have gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven.”
Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her residence near Tucson, Arizona, on January 31st and was reported as missing the following day. Law enforcement suspects foul play was involved, with the FBI releasing security footage showing a masked individual at her front entrance on the evening she disappeared.
Investigators discovered blood evidence on her front porch, though officials have kept most details of their investigation confidential.
The NBC host emphasized that her family desperately needs closure, regardless of the circumstances.
“Someone out there knows something that can bring her home,” she stated.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office reports that hundreds of personnel are dedicated to the investigation, with assistance from the FBI and additional agencies. Officials say they have received more than 20,000 tips from the public.
