‘Our hearts are in ruins’: Savannah Guthrie pleads for help 6 months after her mom vanished
The family is offering a $1 million reward as investigators release footage and ransom notes and urge anyone with clues to come forward.
As the case reaches its six-month anniversary, the Pima County Sheriff's Office issued a release Friday requesting public assistance to identify an unidentified man believed to know the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie, who vanished from her Tucson-area home on January 31.
Investigators released surveillance footage from Nancy's Nest doorbell camera and two ransom notes, noting the language displays "distinctive patterns of word choice, syntax, and phraseology" that may help someone recognize the writer.
The sheriff's office urged the public to consider if anyone they know displayed "noticeable intense interest" in the case or sudden changes in routine, such as vehicle repairs or unexplained injuries, around the time of disappearance.
NBC Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie posted on Instagram Saturday "begging for help," while the Guthrie family, FBI, and 88-CRIME are offering combined rewards totaling over $1.2 million for information leading to answers.
Savannah wrote that she and her siblings "spend every waking moment thinking of her," adding there is a "determination in us that cannot be quenched" to find their mother and provide her with a proper goodbye.
