TODAY Show anchor Savannah Guthrie and her siblings were spotted a a memorial outside the home of their missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy, on Monday (March 2).
Savannah, her sister, Annie Guthrie, and brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, carried flowers while being escorted by Pima County Sheriff's Department deputies to the memorial site in front of Nancy's home in a video shared by NewsNation reporter Brian Entin. Savannah also shared a photo of flowers at the memorial on her Instagram account on Monday.
"We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country 💛," Savannah wrote. "Please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. Bring her home."
The FBI reportedly conducted one more sweep of evidence at Guthrie's home on Wednesday (February 25) before making a decision on whether her family can return to the property, a sign that the investigation has hit a standstill, sources with knowledge of the situation confirmed to the New York Post. No suspects nor leads have been determined in the case as Guthrie has now been missing for a full month.
Savannah Guthrie previously acknowledged that her mother "may already be gone" while offering a reward "of up to $1 million for any information" leading to her recovery in a video shared on her Instagram account last Tuesday (February 24).
“I’m coming on to say it is Day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed, and every hour and minute and second and every long night has been agony since then. Worrying about her, and fearing for her, aching for her, and most of all just missing her," Savannah said. "Just missing her. We know that millions of you have been praying, so many people have been praying — of every faith and no faith at all — praying for her return, and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home. Hope begets hope, as my sisters says. We are blowing on the embers of hope.”
“We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone. She may already have gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in Heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother, Piers, and with our daddy. If this is what is to be, then we will accept it, but we need to know where she is. We need her to come home. For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery. All of the information about this reward and the details is in the caption below. You can call the 1-800 tipline, you can be anonymous if you want. Someone out there knows something that can bring her home. Somebody knows, and we are begging you to please come forward now.”
“We also know that we are not alone in our loss. We know there are millions of families that have suffered with this kind of uncertainty, and for that reason, today, we also are donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children for their work in helping families who are coping with loss and actively looking for those who are lost. We are hoping that the attention that has been given to our mom and our family will extend to all the families like ours who are in need and need prayers and need support. So please, if you hear this message, if you’ve been waiting and you haven’t been sure, let this be your sign to please come forward, tell what you know and help us bring our beloved mom home so that we can either celebrate a glorious, miraculous homecoming or celebrate the beautiful, brave and courageous and noble life that she has lived. Please me the light in the dark. Thank you.”
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31 when she was dropped off at her home by Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni after having dinner with the couple. Authorities were notified about her disappearance after she didn't attend a church service the following morning.
A blood trail was found on Nancy's front porch during a probe into her disappearance and the FBI released home security camera photos showing an armed masked person outside her door on the night she went missing.
