“Today” host Savannah Guthrie took to Instagram on Sunday to post a heartfelt Mother’s Day tribute to her mom, Nancy, who has been missing since February.
“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie – we miss you with every breath,” Guthrie captioned her post. “We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you. We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference. Call 1800CALLFBI. You can be anonymous and the reward remains available. Please keep praying. Bring her home.”
Nancy, 84, was last seen at her Arizona residence on Jan. 31. On Feb. 2, the Pima County Sheriff said he believed Nancy did not leave her home “on her own.” A person was briefly detained in connection with her disappearance, and doorbell camera footage was recovered, showing the possible culprit trying to enter Nancy’s front door. Despite the sporadic evidence, there has been little progress toward Nancy’s recovery.
In early April, Guthrie joined Good Shepherd New York’s digital Easter gathering to share a message of hope and reflect on her mother’s unsolved abduction.
“Perhaps this is too dark a message to share on Easter morning, but I have long believed that we miss out on fully celebrating resurrection if we do not acknowledge the feelings of loss, pain, and yes, death,” she said. “It is the darkness that makes this morning’s light so magnificent, so blindingly beautiful. It is all the brighter because it is so desperately needed.”
After two months away, Guthrie returned to the “Today” desk on April 6.
