TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Savannah Guthrie is renewing pleas to neighbors, friends and residents of Tucson, Arizona, to jog their memories in an effort to gather new leads in the search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.

The “Today Show” co-host shared a statement from the family on her Instagram on Sunday morning, following a release from the show's Instagram account. The family expressed gratitude towards the community and stated they believe someone in Tucson or southern Arizona may hold critical information pertaining to the case.

“Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant,” the statement read. They urged the public to revisit their memories from the time surrounding Nancy's last known sighting on January 31 until February 1, as well as on the evening of January 11.

“Please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations, or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance,” the statement urged. “No detail is too small.”

The family acknowledged the possibility that their matriarch might no longer be alive, adding to their continuous anguish and uncertainty.

“We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder.” Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on February 1, with authorities suspecting she was kidnapped, abducted, or otherwise taken against her will. The FBI has released footage of a masked individual near her front door on the night of her disappearance.

The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for information that leads to Nancy's recovery. In addition, Savannah made her first appearance at the NBC “Today Show” studio on March 5 since her mother went missing. Although she plans to return to air, her current focus remains on her family and the search for her mother.

Tucson is situated more than 100 miles south of Phoenix and approximately 70 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico border, with the Catalina Foothills area known for its affluence and popular hiking destinations.

Savannah Guthrie has been a co-anchor of NBC's “Today” since 2012, and her former colleague Hoda Kotb has stepped in to help fill the void during her absence as she concentrates on her family's ordeal.
