Savannah Guthrie is navigating a deeply personal and painful Mother's Day this year. The Today show anchor shared an emotional tribute to her mother, Nancy Guthrie, nearly four months after she went missing from her home in Arizona.
"Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie, we miss you with every breath," Savannah, 54, wrote in a heartfelt social media post on Sunday, accompanying throwback footage of Nancy and their family. "We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you."
The television personality made a direct plea to the public for assistance in the ongoing investigation. "We need help," she continued. "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."
The post drew an outpouring of support from her colleagues and friends in the industry. Hoda Kotb reached out with a message of love, while Today co-host Carson Daly shared, "I will never stop praying." ABC journalist David Muir and Law & Order: SVU star Mariska Hargitay also offered their prayers and support to the family during this difficult time.
Nancy, 84, was reported missing on Feb. 1. Despite an active investigation, the case remains open with no significant leads. The FBI has offered a $100,000 reward for information leading to her recovery. In a significant effort to aid the search, Savannah and her family have since increased the reward to $1 million and donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
Savannah returned to the Today show on April 6 following a two-month hiatus. In a candid interview with Hoda Kotb in March, she described the initial moments of the family's ordeal. "[My sister, Annie, called], she said, 'She's gone,'" Savannah recalled. "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.'"
She added, "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.'"
In addition to the tribute from her daughter, Savannah's husband, Michael Feldman, shared his own message of support on social media. "To the strongest person I know," Feldman, 57, wrote alongside a photo of Savannah with their two children. "Surrounding you with love on Mother's Day."
