"We are in agony": Savannah Guthrie opens up after mother Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance in emotional interview

Anchor and Journalist, Savannah Guthrie, gave her first interview regarding the case of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, with Hoda Kotb on an episode of the Today show. Kotb explained how Guthrie sat down for an interview with her, which will air on March 26 and March 27. However, before the episode is aired, she wanted to share a message from Savannah herself on the 25th March episode of the popular show.

Kotb said, "Craig, Al , and Carson , as you can imagine, it was a really emotional conversation. 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."

In the clip that Hoda rolled, Savannah, who is also a main anchor of the Today show, is seen saying through tears.

"Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable." She further says, "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 the video is played, Carson Daly, who is another co-host on the show, asks Hoda how Savannah Guthrie is doing currently, to which Kotb states,

"There is a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah."

Kotb further explains how, in the episode, she speaks about "how God's holding her hand." Savannah Guthrie is set to officially come back to work on the 5th of March.

Nancy Guthrie missing case

Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, was first reported missing on 1st February from her place in the Catalina Foothills, which is a suburb in Tucson, Arizona. She was reported missing after she failed to attend a church service, which was taking place virtually, at a friend's house. We are not entering the eighth week since Nancy was allegedly kidnapped or abducted, and though evidence and clues have been scarce, the last lead that the authorities had was about a masked man, who was seen outside Guthrie's home messing with her ring camera, and was considered a possible suspect.

Nancy Guthrie's family has announced a $1 million reward for any information regarding the case.

Please contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department 520-351-4900 with any information about Nancy's disappearance.
