Savannah Guthrie reunited with her coworkers at the Today studio in New York City on Thursday as the desperate search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie, continued into its second month.

During her tearful return to Studio 1A in Rockefeller Center, Savannah Guthrie thanked her colleagues for their support, shared hugs with her coanchors and expressed her interest in returning to the show when the time was right.

“I think her coming here just being able to be with us and for us to be able to hug her, I think it’s a step,” Today host Sheinelle Jones told the audience Thursday morning. “I don’t know what’s ahead of us, but all I know is it is a step.”

Though there have been no significant breakthroughs in the search for Nancy Guthrie in recent weeks, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Today on Tuesday that he believes investigators are “definitely closer” to solving the case and federal agents are now also looking into reports of internet disruptions in the neighborhood the night she disappeared. “We’ve got a lot of intel, a lot of leads, but now it’s time to just go to work,” he said.

To mark one month since their mother’s disappearance, Savannah Guthrie, her sister, Annie Guthrie, and Savannah’s brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, visited the growing tribute of yellow flowers, cards and messages left outside of Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Ariz., on Monday.

“We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country 💛,” Savannah Guthrie wrote on Instagram after the visit, along with a photo of the flowers. “please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. bring her home.”

The family of Nancy Guthrie, 84, is offering $1 million for information leading to her “recovery.”

Savannah Guthrie announced the reward last week in an Instagram video, saying the family is holding out hope that Nancy Guthrie is found alive.

“We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home,” the Today show cohost said. “We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone.”

“If this is what is to be, then we will all accept it,” Savannah Guthrie added. “But we need to know where she is.”

Nancy Guthrie was last seen at around 9:45 p.m. on Jan. 31, when she was dropped off at her home in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson, Ariz., by family members following dinner, police said. She was reported missing around noon the next day after she did not show up at a friend’s house to watch an online church service.
