Savannah Guthrie Offers $1 Million Reward for Missing Mother
Urgent Plea for Information on Nancy Guthrie's Disappearance
On Friday, Savannah Guthrie shared a heartfelt video update regarding her mother's ongoing disappearance, announcing a substantial $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery. The co-host of the "Today" show emphasized that tips can be submitted anonymously. She stated that anyone who provides information that assists in locating Nancy Guthrie will receive a unique 7-digit PIN linked to their submission, allowing them to collect the reward at a neutral location, such as a post office, without needing to show identification.
In her Instagram message, Guthrie expressed the family's urgent need for answers, stating, "We need to know where she is, we need her to come home." She urged anyone with knowledge about her mother's whereabouts to step forward, saying, "Someone out there knows something that can bring her home. We are begging you to please come forward now."
Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, was reported missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. Despite the passage of twenty-eight days, there have been no leads or suspects identified publicly. Surveillance footage captured a masked, armed individual on her porch that evening. The FBI has received thousands of tips, with over 1,500 coming in since the reward announcement earlier this week. Additionally, the FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information regarding her location, while the Pima County Sheriff's Department has contributed at least $102,500 more.
Family's Mixed Emotions in Their Search
In her video, Savannah Guthrie conveyed the family's hope that Nancy is still alive, stating, "We still believe in a miracle." However, she also candidly acknowledged the harsh reality that her mother may not return. "We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in Heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy," she reflected. Guthrie concluded, "And 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." The family has been consistently updating their followers on social media since the abduction, appealing for any information that could assist in bringing Nancy back or at least provide closure.
