Savannah Guthrie, alongside her sister Annie and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni, made an emotional visit to their mother Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona home on March 2. This marked the first time the family had visited since Nancy went missing on February 1. The matriarch of the family, 84-year-old Nancy, was last seen entering her garage on the night of January 31, before authorities believe she was abducted in the early hours of February 1.
As Savannah and her family stood together near their mother’s home, they embraced in front of a growing tribute—yellow flowers adorning the site at the end of Nancy’s driveway. In a video shared by NewsNation, the emotional moment was captured as they took a pause to reflect on the tragedy.
Later, Savannah posted a poignant image of the tribute on social media, writing: “We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country 💛 Please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. Bring her home.”
In a touching display of solidarity, neighbors have been adding yellow flowers and ribbons to the tribute site, a sentiment that dates back to the 1979 hostage crisis in Iran, when yellow ribbons were used to symbolize hope and support for those missing. The same symbol has now come to represent the family’s ongoing hope for Nancy’s safe return.
The investigation into Nancy’s disappearance remains active. Authorities have released unsettling footage from Nancy’s Nest doorbell camera, showing a masked intruder approaching her home on the night she was taken. The camera was disconnected shortly thereafter, and crucial moments were captured when Nancy’s pacemaker was unexpectedly turned off from her phone, raising more questions about the situation.
While no suspects have been identified, the investigation continues to unfold. Sheriff Chris Nanos emphasized the ongoing efforts to follow every lead, stating, “In terms of leads and working and getting out there, I think that’s still growing. But the reality is that I also know that sometimes things take time.”
Savannah, who has been actively involved in raising awareness for her mother’s case, announced an increased family reward of $1 million for any information leading to Nancy’s recovery. The FBI is also offering a $100,000 reward for any leads in the case.
In a heart-wrenching social media post, Savannah acknowledged the agonizing reality of the situation: “We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone… and 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.”
The grief-stricken family has continued to use their platform to appeal for help, and Savannah made a direct plea to the community, urging anyone with information to come forward. She also reminded the public that tips can be submitted anonymously, with a reward for those who help bring closure to the investigation.
In a previous emotional video, Savannah addressed Nancy’s kidnappers, saying: “It’s never too late to do the right thing. We are here. We believe in the essential goodness of every human being.”
The family remains in Arizona, advocating tirelessly for Nancy’s safe return, while also supporting the larger community of families who are dealing with similar heartache. Savannah even donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in honor of her mother.
