The Guthrie family is clinging to hope that someone in the Arizona community where their missing 84-year-old mother lived has critical information about her abduction, they said in a heartbreaking statement.
Nancy Guthrie’s three children expressed their gratitude to residents of Tucson for their support in a statement to KVOA on Saturday, but urged renewed focus on the case as the search for the missing mother enters its seventh week.
“We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case,” the statement said.
“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,” they added.
“No detail is too small. It may be the key.”
The heartbroken family said they miss their mother deeply and won’t find peace until she is home.
“We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder,” they said.
“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.
Nancy, mother of “Today” show star Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been taken from her Tucson, Arizona, home during the early hours of Feb. 1.
She was reported missing after she failed to show up at church, and security footage recovered from her doorbell camera captured a masked man loitering around doorstep the night police believe she was kidnapped.
Police have still not identified any suspects.
