"Today" show host Savannah Guthrie announced her family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to the recovery of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, missing for over three weeks from her Arizona home.
Hope and Concern
Savannah expressed hope for her mother's return but acknowledged the grim possibility that it might be too late. "She may already have gone home to the Lord," Savannah shared on Instagram.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen near Tucson on January 31. Authorities suspect kidnapping, as a porch surveillance video showed a masked man outside her home the night she disappeared. Blood traces were found on the porch, raising concerns for her well-being, especially since she requires essential medication.

Ongoing Investigation
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office is working with the FBI and other agencies, having received over 20,000 tips. Recent video footage of a man with a backpack at Nancy's home is a key lead, though it sparked speculation due to inconsistencies in clothing across different images.
The Sheriff's department clarified that the images lacked date and time stamps, dismissing suggestions they were taken on separate days.
Family and Community Efforts
Savannah stated, “Someone out there knows something that can bring her home.” The family has also pledged a $500,000 donation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, hoping the attention to Nancy’s case will extend support to similar families.
Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that family members, including siblings and spouses, are not suspects.
The Guthrie family remains focused on finding Nancy, urging anyone with information to come forward, as their search continues with dedicated efforts from law enforcement and support from the community.
