Savannah Guthrie has taken to social media to announce that her family is willing to pay up to US$1 million (approximately $1.41 million) for information that can lead to the whereabouts of her mom Nancy.

Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February 1.

Guthrie Family Raises Reward

In a video posted on social media, Savannah Guthrie also acknowledged the possibility that her mom may already have passed away.

"We also know that she may be lost, she may already be gone," she tearfully said in the video. "She may already have gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in Heaven... and if this is what is to be, then we will accept it."

"But we need to know where she is," the "Today" host emphasized. "We need her to come home."

According to PEOPLE, the family also donated US$500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.

A source close to the family also explained to PEOPLE why the family chose to raise the reward. The FBI's reward of US$100,000 (approximately $141,000) remains active.

"The family first raised this on the first day of the investigation and has been ready to do this ever since," the source said.

The source added, "They were advised by all involved in the investigation that doing so earlier might overwhelm the infrastructure set up to field leads, tens of thousands of which have been coming in organically."

Nancy Guthrie Is Still Missing

Since her February 1 disappearance, Nancy Guthrie has yet to be found. She is believed to have been kidnapped by an armed man.

Nancy Guthrie's surveillance cameras were able to capture the masked man, and the FBI described him as "male, approximately 5'9" - 5'10" tall, with an average build."

However, authorities are not ruling out that this masked man may have had an accomplice.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that the search for the "Today" show host's mom could take years.

"Maybe it's an hour from now," Nanos said, per The New York Times. "Maybe it's weeks or months or years from now. But we won't quit. We're going to find Nancy. We're going to find this guy."
