In video footage from their visit, which was published by NewsNation, the trio can be seen arriving at the memorial with small bouquets in hand.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen outside of her home on Jan. 31 after being dropped off by a family member. She was declared missing the following day and a large-scale search was launched to find the 84-year-old mom of three.
On Feb. 2, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced that Nancy’s disappearance was being investigated as a crime and her home declared a crime scene after traces of her blood was found on her porch. The investigation is still ongoing, with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirming in a Feb. 27 press release that it will “continue until Nancy Guthrie is located or all leads have been exhausted.” **
The announcement comes after Savannah posted an Instagram video on Feb. 24 announcing that her family had increased their reward for Nancy’s recovery up to $1 million.

The broadcaster also acknowledged in the clip that while she and her siblings Annie and Camron continue to hold out hope for Nancy’s safe return, they are aware that she “may be lost” as the search continues. **
"We still believe in a miracle, we still believe that she can come home — hope against hope," said Savannah, who was fighting back tears as she shared that the whole family is “aching” for their missing matriarch.
"We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone,” she said. “She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad and with her beloved brother Pierce and with our daddy.”
Savannah continued, “If this is what is to be, then we will accept it, but we need to know where she is. We need her to come home."
