The Today show family are lending their support to Savannah Guthrie in every way they know how.
On Thursday, Feb. 5, the NBC morning show continued its coverage of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Savannah’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.

The show also highlighted the various candlelight vigils held in Nancy’s honor and the emotional video Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, recorded making a plea to Nancy’s potential abductor.
“It was great seeing that kind of outpouring of love and support and prayer from people not just there in Tucson, but here in New York,” Savannah’s co-anchor Craig Melvin noted during the broadcast. “And, you know, folks have been coming up over the last few days, just random folks off the streets.”
“ ‘How can we help?’ ” Sheinelle Jones said.

“It’s almost hard to explain it but when there’s collective prayer or thoughts, or whatever you do, it’s almost like it carries you,” the mother of three shared. “And you feel supported and we feel like if you can’t do it yourself, people will carry you. And so that’s what we’re doing. We’re wrapping our arms around their entire family and we’re carrying them.”

The Today show team also urged viewers in a call for “collective action” continuing to request that anyone with any information call it into the tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
During the Guthrie family’s raw and tearful video, which was released on Wednesday evening, Savannah, 54, and her sister, Annie, shared details about Nancy, calling her a “kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light.”
They also made a plea to her potential abductor, asking that they reach out to confirm that Nancy is still alive.
“We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her,” Savannah said through tears. “We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”
Authorities believe Nancy was taken from her Arizona home over the weekend and she was first reported missing on Sunday, Feb. 1. Since that time, investigators have not been able to identify a suspect and the FBI has since been called in to assist in the investigation.
“[Savannah] just really wrapped her arms around me. I remember during his first surgery, Savannah rushed in,” Jones said of Ojeh’s time in the hospital. “I’m like, ‘How did you get here?’ And she prayed with my family and his family, and so they just really connected and they really bonded.”
