Savannah Guthrie Shares Her Family’s Story: Now Help Us Share Others
In an emotional interview on TODAY this morning, Savannah Guthrie spoke about her missing mother, Nancy. She shared a feeling that many families served by NCMEC know all too well: not knowing what happened to a loved one is agonizing. Like so many families of missing people, the Guthrie family simply wants answers.
Savannah courageously chose to speak publicly about her mom to keep Nancy in the spotlight, encouraging anyone with answers to come forward.
NCMEC is grateful to the Guthrie family for their generous donation to the National Center and their efforts to raise awareness about other missing people across the country, including missing children.
“We have seen miracles happen at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children,” said Angeline Hartmann, director of communications. “We encourage everyone to stay alert. It’s up to the public to keep their eyes open. You never know when the next lead will be the one that brings someone home.”
Here are just a few children missing in Arizona whose families are still searching for answers:
- Karen Grajeda, missing from Tucson, Arizona since 1996: We'll Always Be Waiting for You: 30 Years Without Karen
- Jesse Florez, missing from Phoenix, Arizona since 2001: Searching for Jesse Florez on His Birthday
- Jimmy Hendrickson, missing from Tucson, Arizona since 1991: Two Tucson Searches: One in the Spotlight, One in the Shadows
