Savannah Guthrie used Mother’s Day to renew a public plea for help finding her mother, nearly four months after the 84-year-old vanished from her Arizona home. The broadcast journalist’s post stressed the family’s continued search and noted a rising reward as authorities and relatives try to generate new leads.
A personal appeal on a quiet holiday
On Sunday the Today anchor posted a short, emotional message with archival footage of family moments, saying the household remains unsettled until her mother is found. Guthrie wrote that the family will “never stop looking” and urged anyone with information to come forward.
She asked supporters to contact the FBI’s tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI, noting that callers can remain anonymous. The post also highlighted the continued need for prayers and public vigilance.
What’s at stake and how the search has changed
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Arizona residence on Feb. 1. The case is still open and investigators have described it as lacking significant leads.
- The FBI initially offered a $100,000 reward. The Guthrie family has since increased that offer to $1 million.
- The family also donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to support outreach and investigative resources.
Those concrete steps are meant to widen the search footprint and encourage anyone with even small pieces of information to speak up.
Colleagues and family respond
Messages of support poured in under the post. Longtime co-hosts and other public figures expressed sympathy and solidarity; a number of media colleagues said they are keeping the family in their thoughts. Earlier in the day, Guthrie’s husband shared a simple Mother’s Day note and a family photo, describing his wife as “the strongest person I know” and surrounding her with love.
Timeline and the family’s account
Local authorities were called on Feb. 1; Guthrie has said the first moments after her mother’s disappearance were chaotic and that relatives immediately told police the situation did not look like a typical wandering case. Savannah Guthrie took an extended absence from her show and returned on April 6, after more than two months away. Before returning, she spoke with co-host Hoda Kotb about the family’s ordeal, describing the initial panic and disbelief.
The investigation remains active. Officials and the family emphasize that even small, verifiable details could prove important.
How you can help
If you have information related to the disappearance, you can:
- Contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
- Reach out to local law enforcement in the area where Nancy Guthrie was last seen.
- Submit anonymous tips if you prefer; law enforcement accepts and follows up on anonymous leads.
Authorities continue to ask the public to report anything they believe might be relevant; the reward remains available for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery.
