In a heartfelt message, Savannah Guthrie is appealing for information on her mother Nancy's mysterious disappearance in Tucson, Arizona, asking community members to review their memories for potential leads.

Savannah Guthrie, co-host of the Today Show, has renewed her appeal for assistance from the Tucson community regarding the ongoing search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie. The family believes that someone in the area may possess critical information that could aid in resolving her disappearance.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Savannah Guthrie is renewing pleas to neighbors, friends, and residents of Tucson, Arizona, to jog their memories in the hopes of sparking new leads in the disappearance of her mother Nancy.

The “Today Show” co-host posted a new family statement on her Instagram account Sunday morning, hours after the show’s account shared it.

After expressing gratitude to the community, the family stated that they believe someone in Tucson or southern Arizona may “hold the key to finding the resolution in this case.”

“Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant,” the family said.

They urged the community to go back over their memories between Jan. 31 — the last time Nancy Guthrie was seen — and Feb. 1, as well as the evening of Jan. 11.

“Please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations, or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance,” the statement read. “No detail is too small.”

The family also acknowledged that their matriarch may no longer be alive.

“We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder,” the statement added.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on Feb. 1. Authorities suspect she was kidnapped or abducted against her will. The FBI has released surveillance footage of a masked individual near her home on the night she disappeared.

The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for any information that might lead to Nancy's recovery.

Savannah Guthrie returned to the NBC “Today Show” studio on March 5 for the first time since her mother went missing, stating that she plans to return to the air eventually while currently focusing on her family's needs.

The Catalina Foothills neighborhood, where Nancy lived, is known as an affluent area with popular hiking trails, located about 70 miles from the Arizona-Mexico border.
