SAVANNAH Guthrie is holding onto faith — even as her family faces the unimaginable.
Nearly a month after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, disappeared, the Today anchor returned to Instagram with a heartfelt message, acknowledging both hope and heartbreak as the search stretches into day 24.
“We still believe in a miracle,” Savannah said. “We still believe she can come home.”
Why This Matters
Savannah Guthrie’s public plea humanizes a high-profile missing persons case, keeping national attention, aiding investigative leads, encouraging community vigilance and donations, and highlighting how media visibility can mobilize resources and support for families in similar crises.
At the same time, she spoke candidly about the painful uncertainty her family is living through.
“We know she may already be gone… and if that is the case, we will accept it. But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home,” she said.

The television journalist said she and her siblings are deeply grateful for the outpouring of support from people across the country — including what she described as “millions” of prayers offered by people of every faith and background.
“We feel those prayers,” she said. “Please keep praying.”
As part of their effort to bring Nancy home, the Guthrie family has announced a reward of up to $1 million for information that leads to her recovery.
Nancy was last seen in the early morning hours of Feb. 1. Since then, local, state, and federal agencies have searched extensively, combing desert terrain and reviewing surveillance footage.
In addition to the reward, the family is donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, saying they want to support other families enduring similar uncertainty.
“We are not alone in this kind of loss,” Savannah said. “If attention on our mom can help other families, then we want that.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has asked residents in Nancy’s neighborhood to review and submit surveillance footage dating back to early January, particularly from specific time windows investigators are focusing on.
Sheriff Chris Nanos recently said the case remains active and developing, emphasizing that building leads and processing evidence can take time.
Authorities have also addressed speculation surrounding doorbell camera footage from Nancy’s home, stating there is no confirmed evidence connecting previously circulated claims to the investigation at this time.
Savannah ended her latest message with a direct appeal to anyone who may know something.
“Help us bring our beloved mom home — whether it’s for a miracle reunion or to honor the beautiful life she lived. Please be the light in the dark,” she said.
