Savannah Guthrie returns to ‘Today’ after mum Nancy’s disappearance

After 33 days, the 84-year-old, who was regularly on the show with her daughter, remains missing.

Savannah Guthrie has reunited with her NBC Today colleagues.

On March 5 Guthrie returned to the studio for the first time since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing 33 days ago.

“Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her Today colleagues,” an NBC News spokesperson told  The Hollywood Reporter.

“While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home.”

Updates on Nancy Guthrie missing persons case

Savannah has been absent from her hosting role since her mother was seemingly abducted in Tucson, Arizona, on January 31.

Nancy, who is 84, and has a heart condition, and has not been seen or heard from since.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI do not have any serious leads. The missing persons investigation has been challenging for authorities, with fake ransom notes and blood found by news reporter Brian Entin.

The Guthrie family is offering $1 million “for any information that leads to her recovery,” Savannah announced last week. Although the Guthries and authorities are hoping that Nancy is still alive, both have admitted that possibility seems less likely over time.

“We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone,” Guthrie said in the Instagram video announcing the family reward.

“She may have already gone home to the Lord that she loves and is dancing in heaven with her mom and her dad, with her beloved brother, Pierce, and with our daddy.”
