NBC Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie stepped behind the cameras at the network’s New York studios on Thursday, marking her first visit since her elderly mother vanished from Arizona over a month ago.
Guthrie came to express gratitude to her NBC colleagues for their ongoing support during this difficult time, according to the Today show. The veteran morning show host will eventually resume her on-air duties, but the network stated she “remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home.”
Nancy Guthrie, age 84, disappeared from her residence near Tucson on January 31st and was officially reported missing the next day. Law enforcement officials suspect she may have been kidnapped or taken involuntarily.
Despite the family posting a substantial $1 million reward for any leads that could help locate Nancy, investigators have struggled to gather meaningful information about her whereabouts.
Guthrie has served as co-host of NBC’s flagship morning program for more than a decade, beginning in 2012. Former Today show personality Hoda Kotb has stepped back into the role temporarily while Guthrie focuses her efforts on the search for her missing mother.
