Savannah Guthrie has spoken publicly for the first time since her 84‑year‑old mother, Nancy Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona home in late January.
In a deeply emotional interview with her longtime friend and former colleague Hoda Kotb, Guthrie described the ongoing ordeal as “unbearable” and said she and her family are living in “agony” as the search continues.
The interview was taped for a two‑part segment that will air on “Today,” and showcases Guthrie struggling with grief and sleepless nights, haunted by thoughts of her mother’s unknown fate.
Guthrie also made a heartfelt plea to the public for help, urging anyone with information that might assist investigators to come forward. Authorities continue to treat the disappearance as a crime and have released enhanced video footage of a person of interest.
Her colleagues praised her strength and openness, with Kotb saying she “marvels” at how Guthrie continues to focus on her family and the search despite the pain.
The case remains unresolved, and authorities say they have not yet identified a suspect. Law enforcement agencies including the FBI and local sheriff’s officials continue to investigate.
Guthrie’s appeal and the interview are expected to renew public attention on the case as the family holds out hope for answers and a safe return.
