Savannah Guthrie is pleading for the return of her mother Nancy Guthrie, who was abducted from her Tucson home on February 1.
Guthrie shared a gut-wrenching video on Instagram, asking that if anyone knows something to please come forward and be a “light in the dark.”
She also announced the family is offering up to $1 million for any information that leads to her recovery.
Savannah shared in the video, “I’m coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed. Every hour and minute and second and every long night has been agony since then of worrying about her and fearing for her and aching for her and most of all just missing her, just missing her. We know that millions of you have been praying. So many people praying of every faith or no faith at all, praying for her return, and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing."
