Savannah Guthrie has issued a heartfelt plea nine months after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was abducted. The "Today" show host, 54, whose mother has been missing since January 31, posted an emotional message on Instagram on Sunday, begging for answers.

Guthrie shared an old drawing made by her daughter, Vale, 12. The drawing depicted an umbrella and rain, accompanied by the words, "I know it might not seem like it but I really need my mommy." Guthrie wrote that the drawing "says so much about how I feel," adding, "The world goes on, things appear 'normal' - as we try to keep going and be strong, especially for our young kids - but it’s not and it never will be."

The television personality expressed that she and her family still "ache" for her mother and continue to "cry out for answers." She implored, "We need someone to help us, tell us what you know. Our mom was a light in this world. We want to celebrate her and give her the dignity she deserves."

The family has offered a $1,000,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie's recovery. "Please. We are begging you. Please help us," Guthrie concluded her message, thanking those who have shown kindness and asking for continued prayers.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona, on January 31. Police believe she was abducted, but the investigation has not yet yielded any suspects or arrests. Her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, who dropped her off at her home around 9:45 p.m., is believed to be the last person to have seen her.

Evidence indicates that Nancy's doorbell camera was disconnected around 1:45 a.m. on February 1, shortly before a person was detected on camera. Another clip showed a masked figure tampering with the device. Minutes later, around 2:30 a.m., Nancy's pacemaker disconnected from her phone and Apple Watch, according to police.

Friends became concerned when Nancy did not attend church later that morning, an unusual occurrence for her. Relatives arrived at her home about an hour later, found her missing, and called 911.

Last week, the Pima County Sheriff's Department stated they were consulting with "lab scientists to see what more could be done to advance the case." The department encouraged the public to submit tips, emphasizing that even small pieces of information could be critical to the ongoing investigation.
