A new special on NBC-affiliated KVOA News 4 Tucson, titled Bring Her Home — The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, aired this evening, with the Guthrie family providing a statement urging community members to provide any information, no matter how infinitesimal it may seem.
The Sunday editions of Today and NBC Nightly News are to air portions of KVOA’s special.
Read the statement — signed by daughter Savannah Guthrie, her brother, Camron, and her sister, Annie, alongside their spouses — below:
We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now.
We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding 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. We hope people search their memories, especially around the key timelines of January 31 and the early morning hours of February 1, as well as the late evening of January 11.
We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom’s case – please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance. No detail is too small. It may be the key.
We miss our mom with every breath and we cannot be in peace until she is home. We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder. Our focus is solely on finding her and bringing her home. We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life. But we cannot do that until she is brought to a final place of rest.
Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing.
The mother of broadcast journalist Savannah Guthrie, Nancy Guthrie, was last seen at night Jan. 31, when she was dropped off at her home by a relative. She was reported missing around noon the next day. Three days later, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters that authorities believe she was “taken from her house against her will,” as blood had been found on her porch matching her DNA and her security camera had been unplugged.
Officials have been examining suspected ransom notes sent to TMZ and local outlets, and Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have released a number of statements asking for their mother’s return. Nanos has stated that all family members have been cleared as possible suspects.
Federal investigators have collected DNA from someone other than Nancy Guthrie on her property. The FBI said it obtained a sample from a glove that was found near her abode that appears to match a pair worn by the masked and armed individual spotted on doorbell camera footage previously released by the government agency. The analysis was last awaiting “quality control and official confirmation” before results were to be compared against known DNA profiles in a national database. The FBI is offering a reward of $100,000, while the family has offered $1 million for information that leads to her recovery.
Earlier this month, the NBC News morning show co-anchor visited the Today studios for the first time since her mother’s disappearance. During her visit, Guthrie said to colleagues, per NBC News, “I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me. And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be. I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?”
