Authorities have described the case as a possible kidnapping or abduction. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7771fd\" class=\"body-graf\">Guthrie told Hoda Kotb last month that she believed returning to the &#8220;TODAY&#8221; anchor desk is \u201cpart of my purpose right now,\u201d even though it was difficult to imagine going back to a workplace she associates with \u201cjoy and lightness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-48f9c1\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;I can\u2019t come back and try to be something that I\u2019m not.

Guthrie fought back tears as she held co-host Jenna Bush Hager\u2019s hand and thanked her supporters for their prayers and letters.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-8ed0df\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;You guys have been so beautiful,\u201d she said. &#8220;I&#8217;ve received so many letters, so much kindness to me and my whole family.

She was last seen the previous night around 9:45 p.m. after having dinner at her daughter Annie Guthrie\u2019s home, according to authorities.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-7bf78c\" class=\"body-graf\">The investigation into her disappearance gripped the nation and put an intense spotlight on the quiet Catalina Foothills area of Tucson. Authorities have not identified a suspect or motive, though the FBI released chilling doorbell camera video of an armed and masked man outside Nancy Guthrie\u2019s home on the morning she was reported missing.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-9e99fe\" class=\"body-graf\">The bureau described him as a man of average build, 5 feet, 9 inches to 5 feet, 10 inches tall, wearing a black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack 25-liter backpack.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-1341dc\" class=\"body-graf\">Guthrie and her siblings, Camron Guthrie and Annie Guthrie, have provided updates on the case via social media. In emotionally wrenching videos on Instagram, they have thanked members of the public for their prayers and made direct appeals to Nancy Guthrie\u2019s possible abductor.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-3c4a19\" class=\"body-graf\">&#8220;Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home,&#8221; Guthrie wrote in the caption to a Feb. 24 video post.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-991a0e\" class=\"body-graf\">The family is offering up to $1 million for information that leads to the 84-year-old\u2019s recovery. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $100,000 for &#8220;information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and\/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-3a78cd\" class=\"body-graf\">Kotb, a &#8220;TODAY&#8221; contributor, substituted for Guthrie. In that period, Guthrie withdrew from NBC\u2019s coverage of the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics; Mary Carillo stepped in to co-host the opening ceremony alongside NBC Sports\u2019 Terry Gannon.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-41c32e\" class=\"body-graf\">Guthrie visited the &#8220;TODAY&#8221; set March 5. In photos taken from outside the studio by a photographer for The Associated Press, Guthrie could be seen wiping tears and embracing her colleagues. The visit was not televised.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"styles_inlineImage__FvnTh styles_medium__MEKii\" id=\"anchor-49a4b2\"><figcaption class=\"caption styles_caption__TCewG\" data-testid=\"caption\"><span class=\"caption__container\" data-testid=\"caption__container\">Savannah Guthrie hugs Al Roker during a visit to &#8220;TODAY&#8221; on March 5.<\/span><span class=\"caption__source\" data-testid=\"caption__source\">Charles Sykes \/ Invision \/ AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"anchor-568130\" class=\"endmark body-graf\">&#8220;I really wanted to come and see everybody.
