Guthrie Family Offers Million-Dollar Reward in Mother's Case

Savannah Guthrie issued a new public appeal on Sunday regarding the missing status of her mother, Nancy Guthrie. The 84-year-old woman has been absent from her residence in the Tucson area for nine months.

Guthrie, who hosts the program Today, addressed followers on Instagram. She described her mother as a light in the world and asked for assistance to provide her with dignity. The post included a drawing from Guthrie’s daughter featuring an umbrella in the rain. The artwork contained the handwritten message, I know it might not seem like it but I really need my mommy.

Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home on Feb. 1. Local and federal law enforcement officials report that they do not have a suspect or person of interest. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department stated Friday that its investigators traveled to Florida. The team met with scientists to advance DNA analysis in the case.
