Savannah Guthrie has issued a heart-wrenching plea to her mother Nancy's kidnappers on the six-month anniversary of her abduction.
Nancy, 84, disappeared from her home just outside Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. No suspects have been arrested in her disappearance.
And the investigation has been dogged by unanswered questions, such as how many people are believed to have taken part in her abduction and whether she was taken by someone who knew her.
Savannah, 54, issued another plea to her mother's captors today, vowing to 'never stop looking for answers' and once again urging anyone with information about Nancy's disappearance to come forward.
'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,' the Today Show host wrote on Instagram.
Savannah shared how she and her siblings are 'try to be strong' because that's Nancy would have wanted them to do, but says their 'hearts are in ruins.'
'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,' she wrote.
'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.'

The Guthrie family is desperate for answers, with Savannah yet again begging for someone to come forward.
'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,' she said.
'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.'
Savannah added that the family will never stop looking for Nancy and doubled down on her faith as they continue to navigate this horrific circumstance.
'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,' she said.
'Please. Bring her home.'
Savannah's plea comes after authorities on Friday released two chilling ransom notes that were sent to the Guthrie family. including one that alleged Nancy died shortly after she was kidnapped and 'is buried in nature now.'
Both notes initially were sent to Tucson television station 13 News days after the 84-year-old went missing.
The Pima County Sheriff's Office released both notes in full – one demanding a $4 million ransom and a second, written in a similar tone, claiming 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie had died before offering an apology.
One of the notes contained specific details about Guthrie's home - a broken floodlight in the backyard and a white smartwatch found on her bedroom floor - that suggested it could be authentic.
The notes, received by on February 2 and February 6, both claimed to be from Nancy's captor and were turned over to the Pima County Sheriff's Office and the FBI.
In releasing the notes, the sheriff's office said 'we believe these distinctive linguistic characteristics may be recognizable to someone who knows or has interacted with the notes' writer.'
The sheriff´s office also said Friday that two videos recovered from Nancy's doorbell camera might be from two separate days and indicate an unidentified male prepared ahead of when the 84-year-old was taken.
Authorities are seeking information on anyone who was behaving differently, changed their physical appearance, suddenly left the Tucson area, or had a noticeable or unexplained interest or disinterest in the case.
'Investigators continue to pursue every available technological and investigative lead,' the sheriff's office said. 'However, community members remain a vital resource as we seek to provide answers for Nancy's family.'
The FBI had released surveillance videos of a masked person who authorities said appeared to tamper with a camera on Nancy's front porch and block it with a plant. They described the person as a male about 5 feet, 9 inches tall.
Authorities have not said whether Nancy is still alive.
