Savannah Guthrie will return to Today show in the future
Savannah Guthrie briefly visited the Today studio on March 5. This happened about a month after reports surfaced that her mother had gone missing.
According to a spokesperson for the NBC morning show, the longtime anchor stopped by mainly to see her coworkers and personally thank them for their support during a tough time. The representative added that Guthrie “plans to return to the show on air.“ However, the network has not set a specific date for her comeback yet. At the moment, she is keeping her focus on family matters and continuing efforts to help find her mother (via People).
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, was last spotted on January 31 after sharing dinner with relatives. Concern grew the following day when she did not sign in to a virtual church service. This prompted family members to report her missing. Investigators later uncovered security footage from a Nest doorbell camera outside her home in Tucson.
The video reportedly shows a person wearing a mask walking up to the front door on the same night she disappeared. Authorities from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office have taken charge of the case. Officials say the investigation remains active, and detectives are continuing to track several possible leads.
During the ongoing search, Savannah Guthrie has remained closely involved with her family. On March 2, she flew to Tucson and visited her mother’s house with her sister Annie Guthrie and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni. Guthrie has repeatedly thanked supporters and well-wishers who have continued to send messages and stand by the family while the search continues.
“We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country… please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. bring her home,” she wrote.
