(NewsNation) — Six months after her mother vanished from her Tucson home, "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie is making a new public plea for help.
In a social media post, Guthrie asked anyone with information about the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, to come forward.
"We are begging for help. We are desperate. We need someone to come forward," Guthrie wrote in a statement shared with her siblings.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department recently released the full contents of two ransom notes sent to a Tucson television station in connection with Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. No arrests have been made.
"Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes," the family's statement said.
The family also criticized people following the case for entertainment or profit.
"If you are following this story for entertainment or for profit, you are not on her side — you are part of the harm perpetrated against her," the statement said.
The family said it will "never stop looking for answers."
Six months ago, someone took her out of her bed in the dead of night. We have lived every moment, every breath, and every heartbeat in agony and despair ever since.
Every day, we wake up and try to be strong and go on – because that's what our joyful and resilient Mom taught us to do. But make no mistake – our hearts are in ruins. Cam and Kristine, Annie and Tommy, Mike and me – we spend every waking moment thinking of her, longing for her, looking for her. There is a hole inside us that can never be filled. There is an ache that cannot be softened. And there is a determination in us that cannot be quenched – to find out what happened to her, so that we can give her the dignity of a proper goodbye – a celebration of her remarkable life that she so deserves.
We are begging for help. We are desperate. We need someone to come forward. Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes. Someone has noticed something different, strange, troubling or just unusual – perhaps with someone they deeply love. Perhaps they are afraid to come forward. Perhaps they are conflicted. Perhaps they are angry or upset for being in this situation. There is a way out – to tell what you know. You can do so anonymously. The reward is available. There is a way to end this situation and do the right thing.
We are real people, facing real grief, doing the best we can, and counting our many blessings along the way – most especially the prayers and love from good people, which we feel deeply. We need your prayers, we need your kindness. We need the good to be stronger than the evil. If you are following this story for entertainment or for profit, you are not on her side – you are part of the harm perpetrated against her.
We will never stop looking for answers – and we will never stop looking for the light. We will always be hoping and praying and believing in the best of our world – in spite of circumstance. This is what our faith makes possible.
