Savannah Guthrie makes heartbreaking admission in first interview since her mother’s disappearance

  • Today show host Savannah Guthrie has opened up about her family’s agony over the kidnapping of her 84-year-old mother in her first sit-down interview since her mother’s disappearance.
  • Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Arizona home on Feb. 1 in what investigators believe was a targeted abduction. The 84-year-old was in fragile health, requiring daily medication, and drops of her blood were found on her front porch.
  • “Someone needs to do the right thing,” Savannah Guthrie said through tears in her interview with Today, which airs Thursday and Friday. “We are in agony. It is unbearable. And to think of what she went through.”
  • She also spoke about the heartbreak she’s endured since her mother vanished, saying, “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.”
  • The Guthrie family has offered a $1 million reward for Nancy’s recovery, and the FBI has separately offered a reward of $50,000 for information leading to her recovery, or to the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.
