TODAY Savannah Guthrie Details Moments of ‘Panic’ When She Learned Her Mom Was Missing

In her first interview since Nancy Guthrie disappeared nearly two months ago, Savannah Guthrie recalled the “chaos and disbelief” of learning her mother had gone missing from her home.

In the first of a three-part interview with Hoda Kotb that aired on TODAY March 26, Savannah tells Hoda about when she got the call from her sister that her mother, Nancy Guthrie, was missing more than eight weeks ago. “She was in a panic,” she said. “I was in a panic.”

Savannah also explained how she and her family told the sheriff that this wasn’t a case of a senior person wandering off. Nancy Guthrie’s mobility is limited, as authorities explained when she went missing.

This is Savannah’s first interview since the disappearance of her mother, who police say was taken from her home overnight on Jan. 31. Parts one and two of Savannah’s interview air March 26, and part three airs March 27.

The search for Nancy has now stretched into its eighth week. The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for her return. The FBI is also offering a $100,000 reward and encouraging anyone with information to call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
