Savannah Guthrie reveals how she found out mom Nancy was missing in ‘Today’ show sitdown

Savannah Guthrie’s sister, Annie Guthrie, was the one to tell her the devastating news their mom, Nancy Guthrie, was missing.

During the first part of her emotional interview with “Today” colleague Hoda Kotb that aired Thursday, she talked about the moment her nightmare began.

“My sister called me and I said, ‘Is everything OK?’ And she said, ‘No. She said, ‘Mom’s missing,’” she explained heartbreakingly. “And I said, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ She said, ‘She’s gone.’”

The siblings were both “in a panic,” with Savannah noting, “We thought that she must have had some kind of medical episode in the night and that somehow the paramedics had come because the back doors were propped open and that didn’t make any sense.

“We thought maybe they came and there was a stretcher and they took her out the back,” she continued. “But her phone was there, her purse was there and all her things.”

Savannah went on to describe the “chaos and disbelief” of phone calls with hospitals and police officers.

Savannah, 54, sat down with Kotb, 61, for her first interview since Nancy went missing over seven weeks ago.

“Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony,” Savannah told her close friend.

Savannah also said she wakes up “every night in the middle of the night” and imagines Nancy’s “terror.”

Nancy was last seen at her Tucson home on the night of Jan. 31 and was reported missing the next day.

The investigation into Nancy’s disappearance has yielded very few promising results, despite there being surveillance footage of a still-unidentified individual breaking into Nancy’s home the night she went missing.

Savannah and her siblings, Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie, have released multiple social media pleas to Nancy’s alleged kidnapper.

In a Feb. 24 video, Savannah acknowledged that her mom “may already be gone.”

“And if this is what is to be, then we will accept it, but we need to know where she is,” the journalist said. “We need her to come home.”

Nancy’s children have since offered a $1 million reward for her safe return.

“Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe. We still believe in a miracle,” Savannah also said in the Feb. 24 social media video.

A source exclusively told Page Six that Savannah and her family hope the $1 million reward will incentivize someone to come forward with information about the case.

“The family first raised this on the first day of the investigation and has been ready to do this ever since,” our insider revealed.

Savannah has been off air throughout the desperate search for her mother.

However, she returned to the “Today” studio in New York City on March 5 to reunite with her colleagues, whom she thanked for “caring about my mom as much as I do.”

“I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” Savannah also told the other hosts.

“And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be.”
