The show’s rollout comes amid the sheriff’s office working in tandem with the FBI in the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie.

Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Tucson home in the early morning hours of Feb. 1, with investigators treating the case as an apparent kidnapping. 

In an emotional video posted to social media on Sunday, Savannah Guthrie pleaded with her mother’s suspected abductors, telling them "it is never too late to do the right thing." 

"I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope, and we still believe. And I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is. It's never too late. And you're not lost or alone," Savannah Guthrie said. "We believe in the essential goodness of every human being. And it's never too late."
