Savannah Guthrie Opens Up About Mother’s Disappearance

In her first interview, Savannah Guthrie, the anchor of “Today,” shared the pain her family is experiencing after her mother, Nancy, went missing from her Arizona home on February 1. She described her family’s situation as being in “agony.”

“Someone needs to do the right thing. We are suffering, we are suffering,” Guthrie said, visibly emotional. Co-host Hoda Kotb previewed the interview, which is set to air this week.

The case surrounding Nancy Guthrie has captured significant media attention, but authorities have yet to locate her amid fears of kidnapping.

Describing the ordeal as “unbearable,” Savannah expressed her nightmare thoughts, recounting how she wakes up each night, imagining her mother’s fear during the ordeal. “In the dark, I think about it… it’s unthinkable, but I can’t help it,” she explained. “She needs to come home now.”

After taking time off from the show, Savannah returned to Rockefeller Center on March 6 to see her colleagues. During her absence, Kotb co-anchored with Craig Melvin.

“Today” will air interview segments on Thursday and Friday as a reminder of the ongoing situation.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos indicated that it seems Nancy was taken against her will. The night before her disappearance, her son-in-law dropped her off at home around 10 PM. Reports say that a masked man appeared at the door early the next morning.

At around 2:30 AM, her pacemaker synced with her Apple device, suggesting the timing of her removal from the house. Interestingly, her watch and iPhone were found in the room.

While Savannah has shared several videos urging for her mother’s return, her conversation with Kotb will be her first formal interview about the situation.
