Savannah Guthrie is not giving up hope four months after mom Nancy Guthrie‘s disappearance.
On Sunday, June 7, the Today show cohost shared a picture of a religious painting depicting Christ’s ascension via her Instagram Stories. The image was overlaid with text that reads, “Oh my, my soul, it cries out, soul, it cries out.”
Savannah, 54, added, “Bring her home” alongside a yellow heart emoji.
Police believe that Nancy, 84, was abducted from her home just outside of Tucson, Arizona, in the early hours of February 1. She has yet to be found.
“These cases are difficult,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in an update on the case on June 1.
Nanos added to Tucson news station KOLD News 13, “Not just this case. A number of our cases come to us where it requires a lot of work from other people. It’s not just a detective who goes out there, talks to somebody, and we can make an arrest.”
“What really makes it prolonged is we do rely on labs,” said the sheriff. “You don’t want to jeopardize not just the integrity of this case, but the integrity of DNA as a supplement to law enforcement work.”
As the search for Nancy rolls into its fourth month, Savannah has publicly appealed for her mom’s return.
In an emotional Mother’s Day tribute via Instagram in May, she wrote, “Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie, we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you.”
“We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference. Call 1800CALLFBI. You can be anonymous and the reward remains available. Please keep praying. Bring her home,” she added.
In a March interview on the Today show, Savannah recalled how she first learned about her mom’s suspected kidnapping.
“[My sister, Annie, called], she said, ‘She’s gone,’” she said. “She was in a panic. I was in a panic. I’m like, ‘Call 911.’ She’s like. ‘I did. We called them. They’re here.’ … It was just chaos and disbelief. From the very early moments, Annie and [her husband] were saying [to authorities], ‘This isn’t a case that you are used to where someone wanders off. She can’t wander off.’”
Savannah briefly took a break from the Today show starting in February, returning to cohosting duties on April 6. She also stepped away from fronting NBC’s coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.
