T.J. Holmes
Hey there, folks. It is 24th, and we are just getting a significant update in the search for Nancy Guthrie. The update is coming to us from her daughter Savannah, who has now put up a $1 million reward for information on her missing mother. With that, welcome to this episode of Amy and T.J. i should say, Rose, they put this up on behalf of the family is doing this. But in a case that had constant updates for a week, we haven't gotten significant ones lately.
Amy Robach
Yes, there. We have not actually put out an episode on the search for Nancy Guthrie because we only wanted to when there was something meaningful to report. And yes, there have been some fancy headlines out there, but nothing of significance until today where Savannah Guthrie, yes, made a. An emotional plea to the person who knows where her mother is. And she said multiple times, someone knows. Someone knows how to find our mom. Someone knows how to bring her back home. And she acknowledged for the very first time that her mom may not be alive, that they are just tortured, not knowing. But they've obviously gotten to a point now, four weeks into this search, that they understand it could be the outcome they have feared the most. But not knowing is even worse.
T.J. Holmes
This is going to move things. And you know, what with the authorities now and police, you know, how they got inundated initially. Robes. The people don't report anything. They. They sniff out even a little bit. This is going to move this thing along. There's going to be a lot of tips that don't result in anything but robes. The story has not been in the forefront here lately. It hasn't been the thing that's been leading. And it was for two weeks, I would say solidly.
Amy Robach
In fact, I think it was the biggest story certainly in this country, but possibly even internationally other than Epstein, Nancy Guthrie missing Nancy Guthrie dominated the headlines for two straight weeks, and still there was nothing actionable for police to follow through on. That's remarkable.
T.J. Holmes
They had to even come out and say it's not a cold case, because as long as we got tips to pursue, then we will be doing this actively now. Rhodes. We thought things would change. Like, we had two major moments recently. There was DNA and a glove that was found. They released a video from the ring cam, which we really thought. I'm frankly surprised more didn't come with that.
Hers Weight Loss Narrator
I am, too.
Amy Robach
They were able to say the height, the build, the. The shape of the eyes. There was even some distinguishing features in terms of the backpack he was wearing, where he purchased it from. So, yes, it seemed as though this was just a matter of days at the most before they were going to find this person and nothing. And they believe he may have been working with an accomplice. They don't know that he could have pulled this off on his own. They don't have a motive, they don't have a suspect, they don't have a person of interest. And they cleared the entire family and circle of friends, which is almost always where you find your suspect. These random violent acts, kidnapping, etc rarely happen by strangers taking strangers. It's almost someone you're connected with.
T.J. Holmes
You're certainly not going to snatch an 84 year old woman with serious medical issues. We're going to play a portion of this video from Savannah Guthrie. Now this is a significant portion in the middle where you mentioned robes. She's acknowledging that. They're acknowledging that maybe the mom isn't with us anymore. Robes. It's. Is it not. It's. This is the first one. I think I have this right where they were making. Well, several of them. They were making appeals in their videos to the kidnapper. They even said once in one of the videos, we will pay. It's shifted a little recently to where the videos come out and they're asking for the public's health. What have you seen? Not necessarily talking to a kidnapper. This seems to be an extension of that now to where they're not even appealing to someone who took her. They're appealing to everybody else. And here's some money to.
Amy Robach
To the people around the person.
T.J. Holmes
Oh, yeah, somebody know.
Amy Robach
Yeah, someone who knows the kidnapper. Someone who knows of the kidnapping. They are appealing. And at first they were saying, please do the right thing. That was a big part of it. Now it's we will pay you up to $1 million. It is specific though, for the recovery. They didn't even say the rescue or. But they want to. They want to physically see their mother.
T.J. Holmes
All right, and here is. Now listen to Savannah Guthrie. She put this out just a short time ago, really within minutes ago. And we are playing this for you here now. It's about a four plus minute long video. We're only going to put play for you. The significant portion in the middle of this video here now is Savannah Guthrie.
Savannah Guthrie
We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy. If this is what is to be, then we will accept it. But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home. For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery. All of the information.
T.J. Holmes
What do you make, Robes? It jumped out. Two things jump out. Certainly the change in her tone and also just as a matter of guesses, whereas reporters and journalists hang on to every word up to a million dollars. So two things kind of just jumped at. We'll hit on those.
Amy Robach
The first one meaning that the acknowledgement that Nancy Guthrie might not be alive. I think the thought is that maybe anyone around this kidnapper or who knows of the kidnapping might have been afraid to come forward because they knew that Nancy Guthrie wasn't alive. So maybe by acknowledging it, hey, we get it. She might not still be alive. It doesn't mean we still don't want to have her remains back with us. We still want her recovered, and we want to know what happened to her. So I think that was a. An acknowledgement of something to someone who knows, who might have been afraid to come forward because they knew the outcome was bad. So we're saying, hey, we know, we know. We get it. We'll still still give you up to a million dollars. I don't know what to make of that. What do you think?
Bowen Yang
I don't.
T.J. Holmes
Maybe she just kind of misspoke in the moment, and it might mean. But she said up two. It says printed as well in her
Amy Robach
note, and it's also online. So I actually think it was deliberate in saying up to a million dollars. I don't know if they have caveats. Maybe if you get part of the information, maybe it doesn't lead to her recovery, but it leads to a step that the next. I'm sure this is legal in a lot of ways, because if you say it and you print it, you are bound by that. So maybe there are caveats in which a portion of the money would go to them, A portion of that million dollars would be rewarded for some of the information.
T.J. Holmes
And that was more. I'm reading this, but you. At the end of the video, we didn't play the whole thing, but she made other, I guess, relevant statements and announcements.
Amy Robach
Yes, yes. And she said the Guthrie family said that they plan to. In addition to putting up this million. Up to a million dollars for information leading to Nancy's recovery, they also are donating $500,000 to the national center for Missing and Exploited Children. And Savannah said this specifically. Look, they are living through what I think most people would consider the hardest part of dealing with someone's potential death is not knowing if they're dead and not knowing where they are and not knowing what they may have gone through. So yes, they are commiserating. They say, we know there are millions of families who have suffered with the same kind of uncertainty. So there's real empathy coming from them in that sense where they understand now, probably for the first time in their lives, what it's actually like to not know. I've thought about this. You and I have covered so many stories about missing children and as a parent, the first thing you think is that would be absolute living hell to not know. It's hard enough to get the information that you didn't want to hear, but it's even harder to have zero information, to have it be this mystery that you can't solve. And that's what they're facing right now.
T.J. Holmes
She sounds, I mean, robes. There's nothing has ever changed in any of these videos coming from them that leads you to believe they think they're close. They this seems day one no idea what happened to Nancy Guthrie, 84 years old. Not much of an update necessarily with the case the sheriff hasn't been doing what was the last press conference he did? Weeks.
Amy Robach
It's been weeks.
T.J. Holmes
Weeks and weeks ago. He said he wouldn't do any until there were significant updates. But there have been updates trickling in and including the sheriff recently having to come out and kind of calm people down about a clue that Internet sleuths thought they had picked up. Stay here.

T.J. Holmes
All right folks, we continue here on Amy and tj. Major headline in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance. The family of Nancy Guthrie now offering up to 100, excuse me, up to a million dollars in reward for information leading to what they're saying is the recovery of Nancy Guthrie.
Amy Robach
And something I thought was interesting in that plea. Savannah Guthrie made it very clear you can remain anonymous. You don't have to give your name. They say they have something set up where you can give this information that would lead to Nancy Guthrie's recovery and they would be able to find a way to pay you without your identity ever being known. This is what she's claiming they gave the 1-800-call FBI number. She also said you can find a way to reach out to me. I guess she figures there are enough crafty people out there who can find emails and a way to text her. But she's saying however you want to get in touch with us. FBI has also put something out on X asking anyone with firsthand knowledge of Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts to contact them for that reward money. So they are blasting this out to everyone that there is a million dollars up for grabs. If you want to sell out the person you know who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie, that that's.
T.J. Holmes
The phone is going to ring off the hook. I mean stand by for TMZ to get 20 new notes from somebody. Right? They've never said any of those notes that came in to TMZ were credible. So we seem nowhere robes this is going to. This has to work if and I just worry about how many thousands of leads they're going to get that aren't actually legitimate.
Amy Robach
But that just goes to show you they've calculated that, and they're willing to take in all of those thousands and thousands of leads that they know they're going to get to find the one that they're looking for.
T.J. Holmes
That means they really don't have anything. Robes. How can you have a picture of the guy on the porch and have. And be nowhere.
Amy Robach
And to the. And to your point, what you teased, There was another image of this suspect on Nancy Guthrie's porch without the backpack. And people started jumping to conclusions, making headlines out of this other image, saying he came the night before the suspect was scoping out Nancy Guthrie's home in the days leading up to her kidnapping. See, here's a picture of him without the backpack. The sheriff had to come in and. Correct.
T.J. Holmes
Yeah. And he. Well, he. He calmed people down. He said anything about that is speculative, but actually, we don't know. I mean, that was something he said. Yeah, that could have been the same day. Could have been a different day. We don't know. So the idea, though, ropes that that would be a big clue, would it not? If we hear that the. The. The culprit was there more than one day, wouldn't this give you a chance to go back to a different month or. But they don't have any time stamps. They don't know when this stuff is nothing.
Amy Robach
And the other. The other headline that the sheriff, over the last couple of days has tried to backpedal, so to speak. Folks have put up headlines saying the case is cold. They're taking off investigators, they're downsizing their force that's investigating the Guthrie disappearance, because after two, three weeks, that's just standard operating procedure. You don't have any more leads to follow you. You bring down the numbers of investigators you have devoted to that. That particular investigation. And the sheriff came out and said, that is not true. Our investigation continues. It is growing. It is not being downsized. So he now is finding himself seeing headlines and having to either soften them or completely refute them. But that's as far as we've gotten in terms of new information on this case up until today.
T.J. Holmes
This story is fascinating, robes, because quite frankly, we have. I don't know the last time we were in the middle of this type of mystery, but there have been cases that have gone on for decades and decades and decades, and people don't get answers to what happened. I'm sitting here 48. I can still remember Morgan, Nick, little girl that went missing in 1996 in Alma, Arkansas, from a park. I was a freshman in college when she went missing. To this day, I remember that story. They still don't know what happened to her.
Amy Robach
Right?
T.J. Holmes
I'm saying these stories. I remember these stories exist.
Amy Robach
Madeline McCann to think we could be in.
T.J. Holmes
Oh, yeah.
Amy Robach
How many years ago McCann is. That was 20 years ago, I believe.
T.J. Holmes
But we were working in the industry.
Hers Weight Loss Narrator
Correct.
Amy Robach
She's missing, Never to be found again. And I know JonBenet Ramsey's body was found, but it's still a complete mystery if a stranger came in or if a member of the family had anything to do with it. Despite the fact that police have ruled out the family in that case. There are still. Yes. And those cases stay with you. Those cases stay with the public.
T.J. Holmes
But the ones staying with Savannah right now are Elizabeth Smart. Right. There are rare. We've seen them robes over year.
Amy Robach
And this does happen.
T.J. Holmes
Miracles happen. And maybe it will. But, Rose, I still want to know. If it wasn't about money, why the hell did somebody take Nancy Guthrie? And if it. They did take her, why do we not know a single one of these notes is credible? I. This is just a mystery. Now that Robes. I think this move. I thought the images and the. And the. The tips came. We thought they would produce more results. But robes. This is.
Amy Robach
This could be the one Money motivates. We know that you're in.
T.J. Holmes
Somebody that knows the guy who knows the guy who just on the outskirts of. Of. Of being in that circle can feel safe now. Possibly. Oh, are these complete loners ropes. How do. How does someone get away with this?
Amy Robach
I don't know.
T.J. Holmes
Good.
Amy Robach
Because, you know the theory I operate with in terms of the way people operate. Everyone tells one person. Yes, everyone tells one person. A secret is not really a secret. And even if he didn't tell someone, it seems as though, given what we've seen happen and what it would take to cover up your tracks, it seems like someone would have to be suspicious in this suspect's life about the timing.
T.J. Holmes
Yes.
Amy Robach
January 3rd happened. Period of time you were gone for a few hours. Yes. There has to be someone out there who knows something, just like Savannah said. I think we all believe that law enforcement believes that someone else knows about what happened, and they're hoping that a million dollars will make that person finally. Finally give the information we've all been waiting for. But most. Most importantly, the Guthrie family desperately wants answers, too. We will continue to follow the story, bring you any developments as they are warranted. In the meantime, though, thank you so much for listening to us, everyone. I'm Amy Robach. Alongside T.J. holmes. We will talk to you soon.

This urgent episode centers on a major development in the highly publicized disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Hosts Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes discuss the Guthrie family's significant announcement: a $1 million reward for actionable information leading to Nancy’s recovery. They explore the emotional and investigative dimensions of the case, analyzing recent events, the context of the new reward offer, and the family’s growing desperation as weeks pass without answers.
Savannah Guthrie’s Emotional Plea (07:24):
“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy. If this is what is to be, then we will accept it. But we need to know where she is. We need her to come home. For that reason, we are offering a family reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to her recovery.”
(Savannah Guthrie, 07:24)
T.J. on the State of the Case (03:55):
“The story has not been in the forefront here lately. It hasn't been the thing that's been leading. And it was for two weeks, I would say solidly.”
(T.J. Holmes, 03:55)
Amy on the Shift in Appeals (06:43):
“At first they were saying, please do the right thing. That was a big part of it. Now it's we will pay you up to $1 million. It is specific, though, for the recovery. They didn't even say the rescue...They want to physically see their mother.”
(Amy Robach, 06:43)
Amy on the Emotional Toll (10:12):
“They are living through what I think most people would consider the hardest part of dealing with someone's potential death is not knowing if they're dead and not knowing where they are and not knowing what they may have gone through... it's even harder to have zero information, to have it be this mystery you can't solve.”
(Amy Robach, 10:12)
T.J. on the Limitations of Evidence (18:25):
“How can you have a picture of the guy on the porch and have... and be nowhere.”
(T.J. Holmes, 18:25)
Amy on the Urgency of the Moment (22:41):
“There has to be someone out there who knows something, just like Savannah said. I think we all believe that law enforcement believes that someone else knows about what happened, and they're hoping that a million dollars will make that person finally, finally give the information we've all been waiting for.”
(Amy Robach, 22:41)
Amy and T.J. approach the topic with a careful balance of urgency, empathy, and journalistic skepticism. Their conversation moves fluidly from hard facts and timeline updates to emotional analysis, informed by years covering similar cases. They openly address the heartbreak of unresolved mysteries and the complexities that emerge when an investigation stalls.
The episode is a poignant, clear-eyed look at the state of the Nancy Guthrie case—a mystery now stretching into its fourth week. With the Guthrie family making a $1 million reward available and breaking their silence about the possibility Nancy may not be alive, the stakes both investigative and emotional couldn’t be higher. The hosts reaffirm their commitment to covering significant updates, leaving listeners with a sense of the desperation that fuels both the family’s determination and the nationwide search.
