Photograph: Jose Perez/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images Savannah Guthrie makes new plea for missing mother as search surpasses four months Today show host shares post saying ‘Bring her home’ months after disappearance of Nancy Guthrie from Arizona Savannah Guthrie has shared another emotional plea for her missing mother as the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie surpassed the four-month mark.

On Sunday, the anchor of NBC’s Today show posted an Instagram story featuring a painting of Jesus Christ and the words: “Oh my, my soul it cries out, soul, it cries out.” In a separate caption, Guthrie wrote: “Bring her home” with a yellow heart emoji.

It had been 127 days since the disappearance of Guthrie’s mother, who authorities believe was abducted from her home in the Tucson, Arizona , area.

Alongside drops of blood discovered on Guthrie’s porch, investigators also recovered DNA from a glove found 2 miles from her home. The glove appeared to resemble one worn by a suspect seen in surveillance footage from the night of her disappearance. However, the glove was later discredited after it was discovered to have belonged to a restaurant worker, not the abductor involved in the case.

Since her mother’s disappearance, Savannah Guthrie has used her national platform to raise awareness, frequently sharing updates and appeals for information.

Her family has offered up a $1m reward for any information leading to the finding of her mother.

In a March interview, Guthrie detailed the agony of not knowing where her mother is, telling her co-host Hoda Kotb in a tearful interview: “Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable.

“And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night.” Guthrie added: “And in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now.” The FBI, which has put up a $100,000 reward for conclusive information, is looking for a man approximately 5ft 9in to 5ft 10in tall with an average build. No arrests have been made so far.

In her interview with Kotb, Guthrie said she would like “to try” returning to work, saying: “I don’t know if I can do it … I don’t know if I’ll belong any more, but I would like to try. I would like to try.” Guthrie made her return to the Today show in April, saying: “It’s good to be home … Ready or not, let’s do the news.” She was greeted by dozens of fans outside NBC’s 1A studio in New York City’s Rockefeller Plaza.

Thanking her fans upon her return, Guthrie said: “You guys have been so beautiful … I’ve received so many letters, so much kindness to me and my whole family. We feel it. We feel your prayers. So, thank you so much.” Explore more on these topics US crime US television industry Arizona news Share Reuse this content
