“Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie has renewed her appeal for information regarding the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, marking six months since authorities believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson. Her emotional plea came shortly after the full texts of two ransom notes connected to the case were made public, revealing further details that have intensified public attention around the investigation. Sharing a photograph of her mother on Instagram, Savannah described Nancy as a beloved family member whose absence has caused immense pain. “This is our beautiful Mom,” she wrote, while reflecting on the six months her family has spent searching for answers.
She said the disappearance had left her family living through “agony and despair” while continuing to hope for information that could bring clarity to the case.

Investigators believe she was taken from her home during the early hours of February 1, with authorities narrowing the suspected time window between 1:47 a.m. and 2:28 a.m. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance remain under investigation. In her message, Savannah directly appealed to the people responsible for her mother’s disappearance, urging them to come forward.
She said that while her family continues to remain strong because of the values her mother taught them, the emotional toll has been overwhelming. “Every day, we wake up and try to be strong and go on – because that’s what our joyful and resilient Mom taught us to do,” Savannah said. She added that despite their efforts to remain hopeful, the family continues to suffer deeply from the loss and uncertainty surrounding Nancy’s whereabouts. The release of the two ransom notes has added a new dimension to the investigation. Authorities and the family have been reviewing the contents as part of efforts to determine the circumstances behind Nancy’s disappearance and identify those responsible.
