“TODAY” co-host Savannah Guthrie issued a new plea for information about her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, on Sunday, nine months after the 84-year-old was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona, home.
Guthrie shared an old drawing made by her daughter, Vale, showing a blue umbrella in the rain and the words, “I know it might not seem like it, but I really need my mommy.”
“Found this old drawing from my daughter today,” Guthrie wrote on Instagram. “It says so much about how I feel.”
“The world goes on, things appear ‘normal’ — as we try to keep going and be strong, especially for our young kids — but it’s not and it never will be,” she continued.

“For Annie and Tommy, for Cam and Kristine, for Mike and me and for all of Mom’s beloved grandchildren: We ache for her, we cry out for answers, we cannot move forward,” Guthrie wrote.
“We need someone to help us, tell us what you know. Our mom was a light in this world. We want to celebrate her and give her the dignity she deserves. The reward is still available. Please. We are begging you. Please help us.”
Guthrie also thanked those who have supported her family and urged people to “join us in praying without ceasing.”

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing Feb. 1 after she was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson shortly before 10 p.m. Jan. 31.
Authorities believe she was taken against her will.
A masked, armed individual was captured on the home’s doorbell camera footage, apparently tampering with the device.
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department have not identified a suspect, and no arrests have been made.

Guthrie has continued to push for answers about her mother’s disappearance while returning to work on “TODAY.”
During a June appearance on “TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle,” she rejected the idea that she had forgotten about her mother.
“I know maybe people wonder, ‘What’s going on? How is she able to do that job? Is she not thinking about it? Did she forget?’ No. Never,” Guthrie said.
“It’s always with me. I cry every morning on the way to work, and I cry every morning on the way home,” she added.

In August, six months after her mother’s disappearance, Guthrie and her siblings also issued a statement asking for information about their mother.
“Every day, we wake up and try to be strong and go on — because that’s what our joyful and resilient Mom taught us to do. But make no mistake — our hearts are in ruins,” Guthrie wrote. “Cam and Kristine, Annie and Tommy, Mike and me — we spend every waking moment thinking of her, longing for her, looking for her.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said Friday the Nancy Guthrie Task Force was continuing to work with laboratories to advance DNA analysis.
“Earlier this month, investigators traveled to Florida to meet with lab scientists to see what more could be done to advance this case,” the department wrote on X. “A number of ideas were discussed, and we continue to work with all our partners to solve this case.”
The agency reminded the public that no tip is too small.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously said Guthrie “did not leave on her own.”

Authorities released the contents of two ransom notes in July. The first, sent Feb. 2, claimed Guthrie was safe and demanded $4 million in bitcoin for her release.
The second, sent four days later, claimed she had died shortly after being kidnapped.
Investigators said the notes contained distinctive writing patterns and asked anyone who recognized the style to contact authorities.
A possible additional ransom text message reported in September was later deemed not credible by investigators.
