On the third night since her mother went missing, Savannah Guthrie asked for prayers that 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie be returned home safely.
“Please pray,” read the simple graphic card on her Instagram post.
“Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment,” wrote the Today host in the caption. “We believe in prayer. we believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope. we believe in goodness. we believe in humanity. above all, we believe in Him.”
She continued, “We need you…Bring her home.”
She also shared a verse from Isaiah 26:3: “He will keep in perfect peace those whose hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.”
This morning, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said authorities are treating the disappearance of Gutherie’s mother as a crime.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing over the weekend after she was last seen by her family at about 9:45 p.m. Saturday. Search and rescue teams have been unable to find her.
The Today host issued a statement through the show this morning, as well.
“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support,” Guthrie said in the statement. “Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom. We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s office at 520-351-4900.”
