It has been six months since Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from her home in Arizona, and police have yet to solve her case. And with no answers seemingly in sight, Savannah Guthrie is begging for someone to come forward.
On Saturday, the Today Show host took to Instagram to post a picture of her 84-year-old mother along with an emotional plea to mark the six-month anniversary of the abduction. Savannah wrote:
“This is our beautiful Mom. Six months ago, someone took her out of her bed in the dead of night. We have lived every moment, every breath, and every heartbeat in agony and despair ever since.”

The reporter shared that she and her family, including siblings Annie and Camron Guthrie, have spent “every waking moment” longing and searching for Nancy:
“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. But make no mistake – our hearts are in ruins. Cam and Kristine, Annie and Tommy, Mike and me – we spend every waking moment thinking of her, longing for her, looking for her. There is a hole inside us that can never be filled. There is an ache that cannot be softened. And there is a determination in us that cannot be quenched – to find out what happened to her, so that we can give her the dignity of a proper goodbye – a celebration of her remarkable life that she so deserves.”
Sadly, days after she was kidnapped, a ransom note on February 6 alleged Nancy “perished” after suffering a “heart related” issue, and they buried her in nature…
And although the Guthrie family may not be able to bring their beloved mother home alive, they still want to get her justice and give her a proper funeral. That is why Savannah is pleading with anyone with information — or the alleged kidnapper — to come forward to put an end to this nightmare:
“We are begging for help. We are desperate. We need someone to come forward. Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes. Someone has noticed something different, strange, troubling or just unusual – perhaps with someone they deeply love. Perhaps they are afraid to come forward. Perhaps they are conflicted. Perhaps they are angry or upset for being in this situation. There is a way out – to tell what you know. You can do so anonymously. The reward is available. There is a way to end this situation and do the right thing.”
Savannah continued:
“We are real people, facing real grief, doing the best we can, and counting our many blessings along the way – most especially the prayers and love from good people, which we feel deeply. We need your prayers, we need your kindness. We need the good to be stronger than the evil. If you are following this story for entertainment or for profit, you are not on her side – you are part of the harm perpetrated against her.”
Concluding the post, the 54-year-old journalist said she and her family aren’t giving up:
“We will never stop looking for answers – and we will never stop looking for the light. We will always be hoping and praying and believing in the best of our world – in spite of circumstance. This is what our faith makes possible. Please. Bring her home.”
We really hope this case is solved soon — not only for Nancy but for her family. They’ve been through so much over these past six months. See Savannah’s heartbreaking plea (below):
