Earlier this week, Savannah Guthrie posted a video in which she offered $1 million to anyone able to provide information regarding the whereabouts of her mother, Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy disappeared from her home on the morning of February 1, and is believed to have been kidnapped.

Today, Savannah doubled down on her plea for information in another heartbreaking video.

“We need to know where she is. We want her to come home,” Savannah said, adding:

He added: “For this reason, we are offering a reward of up to one million dollars to the family for any information that leads us to her recovery.”

Many have suggested that there was an ominous tone to Savannah’s final message, as she used the word “recovery” instead of “rescue.”

But Savannah was speaking without hesitation here, and her use of that word may not be as important as some make it out to be.

“Someone knows something that can bring her home. Someone knows,” Savannah said, adding:

“All information about this reward and details are in the comment below. You can call the 1-800 information line. You can remain anonymous if you want. We implore you to please come forward now.”

“Please – be the one to bring her home,” Savannah wrote in the caption of her clip, adding:

“Call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or find a way to reach me.

“Note: A family reward of up to $1 million will be paid solely for the recovery of Nancy Guthrie, consistent with FBI criteria for paying a reward in this case.”

In other posts, Savannah explained that the reward can be paid in cash, no questions asked.

Investigators say they received more than 1,600 tips in the days after Savannah first offered the $1 million reward.

Unfortunately, as the search enters its second month, it appears that police are no closer to locating Nancy.

They finished their search for Nancy’s house, and Savannah returned home to New York City after spending most of the last month in Tucson.

All parties involved in the search say they have not given up their hope of finding Nancy alive.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.
