Nancy's daughter, *Today* anchor Savannah Guthrie, and her family are still urging residents to report any video footage or information about the dates of Jan. 11, Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 to help push forward the investigation.

"Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony," Guthrie told friend and *Today* fill-in host Hoda Kotb during a sit-down interview in March.

"It's unbearable," Guthrie added of not knowing where her mother is. "And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. She needs to come home now."

The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI urge those with information to contact them at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
