The host of 'TODAY,' one of the most-watched morning shows on American television, stated on Instagram that 'someone knows how to find and bring home' her 84-year-old mother, who was reported missing on February 1 at her home north of Tucson, in the border state of Arizona. The journalist promised the reward on the condition of recovering her mother, alive or dead. The host indicated that the family 'still believes in a miracle' and that the woman 'can come home,' but acknowledged that 'perhaps they have already lost her.' 'She may have already gone to the Lord she loves and is dancing in paradise with her mom and dad, with her beloved brother Pierce and our daddy. And, if this is what it is, then we will accept it. We need her to come home,' stated Savannah Guthrie. The family's offer, which adds to $100,000 from the FBI and another $100,000 from an anonymous donor, comes as the case remains stalled, as authorities have yet to report the identity of possible kidnappers or the motive for the crime, although they have suggested it could have been a targeted attack against her. The case has also reached the Mexico border, where Madres Buscadoras de Sonora, one of the country's main missing persons search organizations, have joined the efforts in Tucson (Arizona), while the Mexican government has stated there are no indications she is in the country. Due to the lack of major advances, investigators believe the case will soon move to a new phase with fewer resources but with a select working group focused on the long term, according to sources related to the investigation last weekend to ABC. At least 400 local, state, and federal agents are involved in the investigation, in which they have recovered DNA samples from a possible unidentified suspect.
