Family’s hope remains as search for missing Arizona woman continues
Savannah Guthrie, co-host of “TODAY,” shared a heartfelt appeal Sunday regarding the ongoing search for her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona, home nine months ago.
Guthrie posted an image on Instagram featuring a drawing created by one of her children. The artwork depicts a blue umbrella amidst raindrops, accompanied by the words, “I know it might not seem like it but I really need my mommy.” Guthrie described the drawing as powerfully reflecting her emotions.
“For Annie and Tommy, for Cam and Kristine, for Mike and me and for all of mom’s beloved grandchildren: we ache for her, we cry out for answers, we cannot move forward,” Guthrie wrote, referencing family members. She reiterated the family’s urgent need for information, pleading for anyone with knowledge to come forward.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson residence on February 1. Authorities have confirmed the incident involved a ransom demand.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, collaborating with the FBI, continues to investigate the case. Despite efforts, including a forensic analysis of a hair found at the scene that yielded no leads, the investigation has faced setbacks.
A dedicated task force is actively pursuing leads, recently traveling to Florida to consult with lab scientists in hopes of uncovering new insights. The sheriff’s office recently announced the trip on X.
Guthrie expressed that the family has been profoundly impacted by the abduction, describing her mother as “a light in this world.” She emphasized the family’s desire for answers, allowing them to honor her and provide her with the respect she deserves. A reward remains available for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s whereabouts. Guthrie concluded her message with a direct plea: “We are begging you. Please help us.”
