A $1 million reward is being offered for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for over three weeks.
Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie, 54, posted a heartbreaking video on Instagram pleading for help finding her 84-year-old mother, who vanished from her home on February 1.


The Guthrie family has been begging the public for weeks for help to find Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen on January 31 at her home in Tucson, Arizona.
As the fourth week of the investigation begins, Savannah put out a heartfelt plea for help to put an end to the “agony” of missing their mother.
“We know that millions of you have been praying for her return, and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing,” she began her video.
To entice those with knowledge to come forward, Savannah said the family is offering a $1 million reward.

Prior to the million-dollar offer, the FBI offered a $202,500 reward, and an anonymous donor offered a $100,000 reward.
“We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home. We are blowing on the embers of hope,” Savannah solemnly said.

The host then changed her tune, admitting that her family knows their mother may already be dead.
“We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone. She may already have gone home to the Lord she loves and be dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad,” she continued.
“If this is what is to be, then we will accept it, but we need to know where she is.
“We need her to come home for that reason; we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery.”
Savannah instructed anyone with information to contact the FBI tip line and visit the FBI’s website for more information on eligibility for the reward.
“You can be anonymous if you want. Someone out there knows something that can bring her home,” she said.
