A while ago, Savannah Guthrie appeared on the Today show and addressed the ransom note, which claimed that her missing 84-year-old mother had died. The popular journalist shared that she has no comments on the headlines and stays away from the media coverage. However, she couldn’t stop herself from being on the Today show and talking about Nancy. Even though Savannah did not directly address the ransom note, she explained:
"This is unusual and unprecedented to say the least to be sitting here. So since I am I just wanted to take the opportunity to really ask people and really beg people to come forward because somebody knows something. This is a news story today that is on your radar, but this is the live my sister, [Annie Guthrie], lives, that I live, that my brother, [Camron Guthrie], lives, that our extended families live, that our children live every day."
Further, Savannah Guthrie revealed that her entire family is in agony and they will never stop looking for Nancy Guthrie. She also mentioned that she is unable to be happy due to her mother’s kidnapping; however, she is trying her best to find joy everyday. It is worth mentioning that during the interview, Savannah was surrounded by Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly and Jenna Bush Hager. In her words:
"We cannot be at peace. No matter how much I try to come out here every day and smile and find that joy — and I will, I promise I will — this is a moment to say we need your help. … I’m not gonna miss that opportunity. No matter how small, the reward is there. You can tell us, it can be anonymous. Please do the right thing. We love our mom, and we’ll never stop looking for her. Ever."
The Guthrie family received a ransom note, shortly after Nancy's kidnapping, which appeared to suggest that Nancy had died soon after being kidnapped. As per the note, her death was accidental; however, nothing was confirmed about the note. The note left Nancy's family, especially Savannah in shock. Despite this, recently, the authorities opened up about the ransom note and explained that it did not mention anything about Nancy's death. As per the FBI, they received a series of emails from a guy, who pretended to know details about Nancy's kidnapping.
It's been nearly five months that Nancy Guthrie has been missing. For the unversed, she was last seen on January 31, 2026. She had gone to have dinner with her daughter, Annie and her son-in-law. The next day, when Nancy failed to reach Church, her family filed an official complaint, leading to an intense investigation. However, till now there has been no major progress about it. Savannah and her entire family are eagerly waiting for their mother. Weeks ago, when Savannah sat down with Hoda Kotb, the former got emotional and shared that she might be the reason behind her mother, Nancy’s kidnapping, as the kidnappers might be jealous of the journalist’s success.
