The FBI has released surveillance footage of a masked man outside her home on the night of her disappearance. The Guthrie family has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery. Savannah Guthrie has been in Tucson with her family and has taken a break from her hosting duties, including NBC's Winter Olympics coverage, to focus on the situation.
