Savannah Guthrie has renewed her public appeal for help finding her mother as the search for Nancy Guthrie moves into its fourth month with no suspect yet identified.
Savannah's Instagram appeal
On Sunday, the Today co-host, 54, took to her Instagram Stories to share a brief but deeply personal message. Alongside a painting depicting Christ's ascension, the post carried an emotional text.
"Oh my, my soul it cries out, soul, it cries out"
Savannah added her own two words beneath it: "Bring her home."
It is not the first time she has turned to the same image for comfort. In March, she shared the identical biblical painting on social media with the words, "I believe, I believe."
What happened to Nancy Guthrie
Nancy, 84, is believed to have been taken against her will from her home in Tucson, Arizona, in the early hours of 1 February, by a masked man. Authorities have pointed to alleged ransom notes sent to local media outlets as further evidence supporting their view that she was abducted.
Investigation update
No suspects have been named in connection with the case. However, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos offered an update on 12 May, confirming that his department, working alongside the FBI and other laboratories, is "working hard to get this resolved."
"I think every day they get closer."
"There's way too much work to be done, that is ongoing, with some of the physical evidence we have."
The sheriff's reference to physical evidence is understood to relate to mixed DNA recovered from the property, which remains under analysis in the hope it will lead investigators to a suspect.
Family's plea to the Tucson community
The day before Savannah's 7 June post, she and her siblings, Annie and Camron, together with their spouses, released a statement expressing gratitude to the people of Tucson for their continued support. The statement was issued for KVOA News 4 Tucson's special, Bring Her Home: The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now. We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case."
Mother's Day message
On Mother's Day, Savannah shared an emotional video tribute comprising several clips of Nancy, with a caption that laid bare the family's grief and resolve.
"Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie — we miss you with our every breath. 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."
