Savannah Guthrie is marking six months since her mother Nancy Guthrie first went missing.
Nancy went missing earlier this year on January 31, and she was presumably taken from her Arizona home in the middle of the night after scary surveillance images emerged.
In a new Instagram post shared on Saturday (August 1), the 54-year-old Today anchor begged the public for help finding her mother.
“This is our beautiful Mom,” Savannah wrote along with a photo of Nancy. “Six months ago, someone took her out of her bed in the dead of night. We have lived every moment, every breath, and every heartbeat in agony and despair ever since.”
She continued, “Every day, we wake up and try to be strong and go on – because that’s what our joyful and resilient Mom taught us to do. But make no mistake – our hearts are in ruins. Cam and Kristine, Annie and Tommy, Mike and me – we spend every waking moment thinking of her, longing for her, looking for her. There is a hole inside us that can never be filled. There is an ache that cannot be softened. And there is a determination in us that cannot be quenched – to find out what happened to her, so that we can give her the dignity of a proper goodbye – a celebration of her remarkable life that she so deserves.”

“We are begging for help. We are desperate. We need someone to come forward,” Savannah wrote. “Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes. Someone has noticed something different, strange, troubling or just unusual – perhaps with someone they deeply love. Perhaps they are afraid to come forward. Perhaps they are conflicted. Perhaps they are angry or upset for being in this situation. There is a way out – to tell what you know. You can do so anonymously. The reward is available. There is a way to end this situation and do the right thing.”
She added, “We are real people, facing real grief, doing the best we can, and counting our many blessings along the way – most especially the prayers and love from good people, which we feel deeply. We need your prayers, we need your kindness. We need the good to be stronger than the evil. If you are following this story for entertainment or for profit, you are not on her side – you are part of the harm perpetrated against her.”
“We will never stop looking for answers – and we will never stop looking for the light,” Savannah concluded. “We will always be hoping and praying and believing in the best of our world – in spite of circumstance. This is what our faith makes possible. Please. Bring her home.”
The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for the return of Nancy. The FBI is also offering a $100,000 reward and encouraging anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
If you didn’t see, Savannah recently gave a major interview where she revealed new info about the scene of the crime that had not been previously disclosed.
