An emotional Savannah Guthrie revealed she and her family have accepted that her mom, Nancy Guthrie, may be dead as the search for the elder enters its 24th day.
“Hi there. I’m coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed and every hour and minute and second and every long night has been agony since then of worrying about her and fearing about her, aching for her and most of all just missing her,” the “Today” show host said in an Instagram video Tuesday.
“We know that millions of you have been praying, so many people have been praying of every fatih and no faith at all. We feel those prayers,” she added.
“Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe. We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home. … We are blowing on the embers of hope.”
Savannah, 54, then spoke about the possibility that her mom may no longer be alive.
“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy,” she emotionally said.
“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,” Savannah added.
Savannah then shared that she and her family are now offering a reward “of up to $1 million for any information” that leads them to Nancy’s recovery.
“You can call the 1-800 tip line, you can be anonymous if you want. Someone out there knows something that can bring her home. Somebody knows and we are begging you to please come forward now,” she shared.
Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31 after she was dropped off at her Tucson home by her daughter Annie and her son-in-law Tommaso Cioni following a daily dinner.
The following morning, authorities were notified that the elder was missing when she didn’t attend church service.
During the investigation into her disappearance, authorities found a trail of blood on Nancy’s front porch.
Earlier this month, the FBI released horrifying home security camera photos of an armed masked person outside of Nancy’s door the night she disappeared.
In the videos and photos, the man stood on Nancy’s front porch, wearing gloves, as he tampered with her door camera.
Several people have been detained amid this investigation but were released after they were shown not to be involved in Nancy’s disappearance.
Though investigators found gloves appearing to match the ones worn by the suspect in the doorbell camera, the DNA did not match records in the FBI’s database.
All of Nancy’s children and their spouses have been cleared as suspects in her disappearance.
Due to Nancy’s heartbreaking abduction, Savannah reportedly may never return to working at the “Today” show.
However, Page Six was told that whether Savannah will return to the network has not been decided, as she is currently focused on her mom and not her job.
