TUCSON, Ariz. — Television journalist Savannah Guthrie shared an emotional Instagram video Tuesday morning announcing that her family is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the recovery of her mother, Nancy Guthrie.
“Today marks 24 days since our mom was taken from her bed in the middle of the night,” Guthrie said. “Every hour, every minute, every second — and every long night — has been agony since then.”
The 84-year-old is believed to have been abducted from her home in Tucson overnight on Feb. 1. In addition to the reward, the family is donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to help other families facing similar crises.
“Please keep praying without ceasing,” Guthrie said. “We still believe in a miracle. We still believe she can come home. Hope begets hope. As my sister says, we are blowing on the embers of hope.”
She also acknowledged the possibility that her mother may not be alive while appealing for information from the public.
“We also know she may be lost,” she said. “She may already be gone. She may have gone home to the Lord she loves — dancing in heaven with her parents, her brother Pierce, and our dad.”
In the video caption, Guthrie urged anyone with information to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). The reward can be divided among multiple tipsters who provide credible leads. She said investigators had previously advised the family not to offer a reward too soon, to avoid overwhelming authorities, who have already fielded tens of thousands of tips.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen Jan. 31 after dining at the home of another daughter. When she failed to attend church the next morning, relatives went to her house and reported her missing around noon.
Police have not publicly named any suspects or persons of interest. Earlier this month, however, surveillance footage surfaced showing a masked intruder on Guthrie’s front steps. Investigators are working to identify the clothing and objects seen in the video.
One of the doorbell-camera images released by the FBI was taken on a different date than the others, a source familiar with the case told Fox News Digital. The discrepancy suggests the suspect may have scouted the home in advance.
Chris Nanos, the sheriff of Pima County, has cautioned that conclusions about the image dates remain speculative.
The Guthrie family said their donation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children will fund programs that help locate missing children and support affected families.
