Savannah Guthrie to Share Emotional Account of Mother’s Disappearance on ‘Today’
Savannah Guthrie will sit down with Hoda Kotb this week for her first on-air interview since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing from her Arizona home on February 1. The two-part interview will air on Thursday, March 26, and Friday, March 27, on “Today.”
A Family in Agony
A preview of the interview released on Wednesday reveals the profound emotional toll the disappearance has taken on Guthrie and her family. “Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. This proves unbearable,” Guthrie said through tears. She described waking up each night imagining her mother’s terror, stating, “And to think of what she went through.”
The Ongoing Search and Investigation
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on the evening of January 31st. Authorities are treating the case as a possible kidnapping or abduction, but the investigation has yielded few concrete leads. A 20- to 24-person task force remains dedicated to the case, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. The family recently released a statement appealing to the Tucson community for assistance, believing local residents may hold the key to finding Nancy.
Guthrie’s Return to ‘Today’
Guthrie flew to Tucson immediately after her mother was reported missing and spent weeks there assisting with the search. She briefly visited the “Today” show set on March 5, expressing her gratitude to her colleagues for keeping her mother’s case in the public eye. While a firm return date hasn’t been announced, sources indicate Guthrie may return to Studio 1A sometime in April. The New York Post previously reported a potential return “in just a few weeks.”
A Tough Balance
Guthrie, a central figure on the “Today” show, faced the challenge of balancing her professional responsibilities with the intensely personal search for her mother. She released pleas for help via Instagram and announced a $1 million reward in an effort to generate leads. Despite the difficulty, she expressed a desire to return to work, stating, “I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family.”
