Savannah Guthrie’s plea for answers 9 months after mom Nancy’s abduction: ‘Please help us’
Last seen by family on Jan. 31, investigators say the 84-year-old was abducted during the early hours of Feb. 1
Savannah Guthrie, the Today show host, has renewed her appeal for assistance in locating her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who vanished nine months ago. In an Instagram post, Guthrie shared her emotional journey, acknowledging that while the world moves on, the loss of her mother remains deeply felt, particularly for her grandchildren.
She highlighted the lack of answers and the desperate need for help to find her mother, whom she described as a "light in this world." The Pima County Sheriff's Department joined the effort, sending a task force to Florida to assist with DNA analysis. Authorities revealed that investigators visited Florida to explore additional DNA testing methods in the case.
They had found blood near Nancy Guthrie's home in February, suggesting she may have been abducted. The FBI had previously released surveillance footage showing a masked individual on the porch at the time of the disappearance. In September, Arizona police expressed interest in a potential new ransom note connected to the case, and the Sheriff's Department has been cooperating with the FBI on the investigation.
Guthrie has previously thanked those who have shown kindness, and authorities have emphasized that even the smallest tip could be crucial. Despite the passage of time, the family remains committed to finding Nancy and bringing closure to the heartbreaking situation.
