The desperate search for Nancy Guthrie is nearing the end of its fourth week, with officials preparing to release her home and the family of the 84-year-old offering $1 million for information leading to her “recovery.”
Savannah Guthrie announced the reward on Tuesday in an Instagram video, saying the family is holding out hope that Nancy Guthrie is found alive, but acknowledged she may already be dead.
“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.
Authorities are still waiting on results from an analysis of partial DNA recovered from Nancy Guthrie’s home. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said that “this will remain an active investigation until Nancy Guthrie is found or all leads are exhausted.” But no arrests have been made, and no motive has been identified for Guthrie’s possible abduction.
Officials say they have received tens of thousands of tips since the investigation into her disappearance began.
Anyone with information is encouraged to call the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900 or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
