Investigators believe that Nancy Guthrie, who was last seen on January 31, was taken against her will from her home near Tucson, Arizona, but they have not shared a possible motive for the kidnapping.
In an emotional video shared to social media, Savannah pleaded to her mother's abductors to do the "right thing" and share information on her location.
She said: "It has been months since our mom was taken from us. Our family is in agony. We are in a nightmare that will not end. Nothing about our situation has changed.
"We have done our part, and we will never stop looking for her. We will always ache for her and feel that hole in our hearts."

Savannah spoke directly to her mother's abductors as she continued: "The world can be a cruel and unforgiving place, and I know that you have tried to do things the right way.
"So I’m asking you, begging you to do the right thing now. Make the right choice. Help us find her. Tell us where to look for her.
"I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing. Help us bring this situation to an end. For all of us, no matter where we’ve been or what we’ve done, I believe there is always a way home. Please make the right choice."
On February 10, the FBI released still images along with a short video from a doorbell camera showing an "armed individual" wearing a mask and carrying a backpack on Nancy's property at the time of her disappearance.
Bloodstains found at the scene were later confirmed to be Nancy's.
On February 24, the family offered $1 million for information that assists in her recovery.
Nancy was last seen in the evening of January 31 after her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, dropped her off at home following a family dinner at her daughter's house.
The 84-year-old was said to be in fragile health when she went missing.
The family said she relies on daily medication that could have “fatal” consequences if she does not take it.
Savannah has said some ransom notes sent to the family were believed to be fake.
She has also said that her mother may no longer be alive.
