Savannah Guthrie’s Heartfelt Interview on Mother’s Abduction
In a recent segment, “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie opened up about her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was taken from her Arizona home nearly two months ago. This was her first interview since the incident.
As she spoke with former co-anchor Hoda Kotb, tears filled Savannah’s eyes during the two-part series, which is set to broadcast this Thursday and Friday. The search for her mother is now entering its eighth week.
“We are suffering. We can’t stand it,” Guthrie expressed with emotion in a short preview clip of the interview.
She elaborated on her feelings, saying, “Every night, I wake up thinking about what she might be going through—her fear in the dark is just unimaginable.”
Nancy was reportedly abducted from her Tucson home in the early hours of February 1st. Disturbing doorbell camera footage captured a masked individual entering the premises.
Since her mother’s disappearance, Savannah has stepped back from broadcasting, making only a few public pleas for assistance via social media regarding the unusual case.
In a touching announcement made with her two brothers on Tuesday, they expressed their hope that someone might have crucial information. “Someone knows something. There may be people in this community who don’t realize their memories could be important,” they stated.
They called on the local community to pay closer attention to Nancy’s case, suggesting they review camera footage, texts, and diary notes that might shed light on the situation.
The family emphasized that their grieving process cannot truly begin until Nancy is found. “We are focused entirely on bringing her home. We want to celebrate her beautiful and brave life, but we can’t do that until she is at peace,” they conveyed.
On the night of January 31st, Nancy was reported missing soon after returning from dinner with her family.
This plea for help comes as Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed the growing frustration surrounding the prolonged searches. His message to those responsible was straightforward: “Give her up. Let her go. Just take her to the clinic, the hospital—drop her off. Leave her alone.”
