Savannah Guthrie renews plea for information about her missing mother Nancy
Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie is urging anyone with knowledge of her mother Nancy's disappearance to come forward, nine months after she was presumed kidnapped.
Savannah Guthrie is once again asking the public for help in finding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was presumed kidnapped in February and has still not been located. The Today co-anchor has taken to social media to urge anyone with knowledge of the case to come forward, saying the family is still searching for answers.
In a post on her Instagram account, Guthrie shared a drawing made by her daughter that shows an umbrella, raindrops and a handwritten message. The image reflected the family's emotions as they wait for news. Guthrie wrote that the family aches for her mother and cries out for answers, a sentiment that has become the emotional center of her appeal.
In a later message, Guthrie said the family cannot move forward until they know what happened to Nancy Guthrie. Nine months after her disappearance, she reminded followers that the FBI reward for information that helps locate her is still available. Savannah has used her public platform to keep attention on the case, and she has asked anyone with even small details to share them with investigators. The renewed appeal arrived on a Sunday, a day on which the anchor chose to speak directly to her followers rather than through a statement from the family or the authorities.
The case has drawn wide attention because of Guthrie's profile as one of the most recognizable faces on morning television. Her public appeals are aimed at keeping the search active while the investigation continues. Guthrie has not offered theories about what happened to her mother, and her messages have focused on the hope that someone will provide a lead that investigators can follow. Her posts have been widely shared across entertainment and news outlets, which has kept the disappearance in public view months after it first drew national coverage.
For the family, the period since February has been defined by waiting. Guthrie's posts reveal a personal side of a story that has played out publicly, with a mother still missing and a family that says it is not ready to stop calling for information. The reward, which the FBI has kept open, remains the most concrete incentive the investigation has put forward for tips from the public. Her latest appeal makes clear that, for now, the family's focus remains on finding Nancy Guthrie and bringing her home.
