While the Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie has brightened our mornings over the years, the anchor is experiencing some dark days as she still searches for her missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.
Savannah is opening up about Nancy’s disappearance in an emotional first interview with Hoda Kotb, which is set to air in two parts on Thursday, March 26, and Friday, March 27.
During the Today Show’s broadcast on March 25, Hoda gave her viewers and her fellow anchors, Craig Melvin, Carson Daly, and Al Roker, a peek at the interview.
“Craig, Al, and Carson, as you can imagine, it was a really emotional conversation,” Hoda admitted. “We’re gonna have the whole thing for you tomorrow and Friday, but first, we did want to bring you one of the moments from the interview where Savannah shared a message to anybody who may have information about Nancy.”
Hoda then showed a clip from the conversation, where Savannah spoke through tears. “Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable,” she said of her missing mother.
Savannah continued, “And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now.”
After sharing the clip with viewers, Carson asked Hoda how she was feeling in the aftermath of her conversation with Savannah.
“There is a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah,” Hoda shared. “I mean, she’s hoping that somebody, whoever this person is, will see something and say something, and as you’ll see in the coming days, she talks about so many things. She talks about the investigation, she talks about her faith, and she talks about how she’s getting through that was one portion there.”
According to CBS News, Nancy disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, late on January 31, when she was last seen being dropped off around 9:50 p.m. Authorities suspect that she was abducted after her doorbell camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m. on February 1.
The Guthrie family asks that if you or someone you know has any information regarding Nancy’s case, please call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). They are offering a $1 million reward if Nancy is returned safely, while the FBI is offering $100,000.
