\u201cWe need you,\u201d she wrote, urging viewers to pray for her mother. \u201cBring her home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kotb, who co-hosted with Savannah from 2018 until 2025, shared three posts to her own account Monday, one with police contact info and \u201cpls help,<\/a>\u201d a photo of Savannah and Nancy<\/a> with prayer hands emojis, and another image simply reading, \u201cHope.\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n TODAY<\/em> led each hour of the show Tuesday with a news snippet about Nancy, with the hosts sharing emotional pleas for anyone with any information to contact the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department. Hager called Nancy \u201ca woman who is deeply loved by everyone here,\u201d while Jones revealed that she had been having trouble sleeping due to worry over her colleague. \u201cBehind the scenes, we\u2019re all rattled, we\u2019re all shaking,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re family around here.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe just are asking you all to pray for her, but please, if you know anything, contact the Pima County Sheriff with any tips,\u201d Hager added. \u201cNothing is too small.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re wrapping you in love for sure, but we are also giving you collective action,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n Other journalists, such as Katie Couric<\/strong>, shared their concern for Nancy, Savannah, and the Guthrie family.<\/p>\n \u201cI cannot stop thinking and worrying about Nancy Guthrie, Savannah, her siblings, and her children,\u201d Couric, who did a TODAY<\/em> stint of her own from 1991 to 2006, wrote in an Instagram caption Tuesday<\/a>. \u201cThere is just so much sadness and anxiety in the world\u2014so much cruelty, it is almost impossible to fathom. Sending them and all of you out there love and support and praying for the safety and well being of this lovely mom and grandmother and honestly, right now for an entire country that seems lost.\u201d<\/p>\n Journalist Yashar Ali<\/strong>, too, posted on behalf of \u201cthe wonderful Savannah Guthrie,\u201d writing in an Instagram caption late Monday night<\/a>, \u201cNo one deserves to be abducted or to have their parent taken from them. But for this to happen to Savannah\u2014who is so wonderful, generous, and kind\u2014is just incredibly unfair. For those of you who pray, Savannah is asking for your prayers.\u201d<\/p>\n When Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos<\/strong> held a Q&A session with media Tuesday afternoon, one which yielded few new details about the investigation, both NBC News Now and NBC\u2019s national affiliates broke into broadcasting to stream the press conference live.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have a lot of work in front of us,\u201d Nanos said. \u201cWe have a job to do and we have someone\u2019s life who is in jeopardy. Job number one is, we gotta find her and we gotta work hard to do that.\u201d<\/p>\n Nanos confirmed that the FBI is involved with and supporting the investigation, and that law enforcement has cleared Nancy\u2019s home as a crime scene. Though the LA Times<\/em> reported<\/a> that blood was found inside the home, Nanos would not confirm that. \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of detective work being done, I just can\u2019t get into those weeds,\u201d he said. The Sheriff\u2019s Department believes that Nancy was abducted, but Nanos declined to offer details around whether any ransom demands had been received. \u201cWe\u2019re following all leads,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
