Savannah Guthrie posts new plea for help for new information in Nancy Guthrie case

NBC “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie posted a new plea for help in finding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, on Sunday.

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing Feb. 1 after she failed to appear at a friend’s home in Tucson. Investigators believe she was taken from her Catalina Foothills residence against her will in the early morning hours.

Savannah posted the following on Facebook Sunday morning:

“Found this old drawing from my daughter today. It says so much about how I feel. The world goes on, things appear “normal” — as we try to keep going and be strong, especially for our young kids — but it’s not, and it never will be. 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.

“Thank you to all those who have been kind and shown the best of humanity. Join us in praying without ceasing.”

The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for information on the case. The FBI has asked anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

What’s the status of the Nancy Guthrie case?

There have been multiple ransom notes since Guthrie’s disappearance, but none have led authorities any closer to finding the 84-year-old.

The first, which was sent Feb. 2 and claimed Guthrie was safe but scared, demanded $4 million in cryptocurrency. It said the amount would increase if the initial demand went unmet and threatened to kill her if the ransom wasn’t paid.

The second, sent Feb. 6, claimed Guthrie had died shortly after she was taken and was “buried in nature now.”

A third was sent in September, which authorities deemed not credible.
