Nancy Guthrieâs whereabouts are still undetermined, and there has been no major breakthrough in her case, at least, nothing that has been released to the public. She is 84 and has been missing since February 1.Â
The public has become invested in this case, and everyone is hoping for a happy ending. As a show of support, the area around Nancyâs Tucson, Arizona, home has been filled with posters of her, sweet notes, and signs that read, âBring Her Home.â These are some of the photos showing how the public is supporting the Guthrie family during this heartbreaking time.
Public Support for Nancy Guthrie & Her Loving Family
Guthrie is a mom to three adult children, including her daughter, âTodayâ co-host Savannah Guthrie, who has publicly addressed her motherâs alleged abductors and also urged the public for help with the case. Savannah has shared information about the $1 million reward offered by the family for information relating to the safe return of the beloved Guthrie matriarch, and to help identify a person of interest in footage captured by a doorcam outside of Nancyâs house. Savannah, like her brother and sister, is heartbroken.
People have been leaving heartfelt tributes for the Guthrie family to read. This includes messages shared outside the KVOA news station in Tucson, where a large portrait of Nancy hangs along the railings.
Flowers and cards have been laid out on the curbside. There are also missing persons flyers showing Nancy’s face.
The Importance of the Yellow Ribbon
Yellow ribbons and flowers have been placed in Nancy’s neighborhood as a sign of hope. Nancyâs neighbor, Laura Gargano, shared why the color is being used. âSome of us put flowers at the front of Nancyâs house, while others who may not have wanted to go down to Nancyâs house, put ribbons on their mailboxes,â she told People in February. âThe yellow ribbon is a sentiment of hope and support after someone goes missing. I believe the use of the yellow ribbons goes back to hostage-taking in the 1970s.â
“Today” hosts have worn yellow ribbons in a show of solidarity and publicly voiced their support for Savannah and her family.
NBC News journalist Kate Snow wore a yellow ribbon on air and explained why in a Facebook post. âThe yellow ribbon represents hope,â she wrote. âI wore it today because everyone here at NBC News is thinking of Savannah & the Guthrie family. Join me in continuing to send all your good energy their way.â
