Savannah Guthrie’s Emotional First Interview Since Mom Went Missing
Today show host Savannah Guthrie had her first televised interview since her mother Nancy’s disappearance nearly two months ago.
In a clip from the conversation, Guthrie said through tears: “Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable.”
Guthrie sat down with her former Today co-host Hoda Kotb on Wednesday, for a conversation airing on Thursday and Friday.
“To think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night,” Guthrie said. “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.”
SEARCH UPDATES
The search for Nancy is now in its eighth week. The 84-year-old was last seen on Jan. 31, after her family dropped her off at her home.
In a March 12 interview, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed that investigators believe they know the motive behind the kidnapping.
"We believe we know why [the kidnapper] did this and we believe that it was targeted, but we’re not 100% sure of that,” he said. "I think day one, we had some strong beliefs about what happened, and those beliefs haven’t diminished.” No other details were shared.
The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy’s recovery, while the FBI has a separate $100,000 reward.
