Savannah Guthrie Gives First Interview After Mother’s Alleged Abduction
When news broke in early February that Savannah Guthrie’s mother was missing, everyone thought she would be quickly found safe. However, several weeks later, Nancy Guthrie hasn’t been found. The FBI joined local law enforcement in Tucson, Arizona, but little progress has been made in the investigation. Savannah Guthrie took a step back from the Today Show after her mother’s disappearance.
She spoke out for the first time this week in a three-part interview with Hoda Kotb. Savannah Guthrie revealed new details about her mother’s disappearance. She said that there’s a possibility that her fame led to her mother’s kidnapping. There were several ransom demands early in the investigation.
Savannah Guthrie and her family remain hopeful that her mother is still alive and they will be reunited someday soon. She plans to return to the Today Show in April.
The View Hosts Break Down Over Savannah Guthrie’s Heartbreak
The disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother made headlines. The heartbreaking story touched millions, including the hosts of The View. Her interview with Hoda Kotb was a topic of conversation on the ABC talk show. Several of The View hosts worked with Savannah Guthrie in the past.
Whoopi Goldberg started the conversation by saying it was one of the “hardest” interviews to watch. “To have a family member just up and disappear — I mean, any one of us, I think, would be out of our minds,” she said. Sara Haines, who worked with Savannah Guthrie at NBC, said, “What just kills me is you see a little girl whenever you see her face, and every pain and emotion is something that’s so relatable.”
Joy Behar said that the “worst part” is that Savannah Guthrie and her family might never have closure. Nancy Guthrie may never be found. But Sunny Hostin said she has faith in the FBI. “I’ve worked with FBI agents for 10 years during my career at the Justice Department, and those are the best of the best. And so, if anyone can find her mother, they can.”
Whoopi Goldberg ended the segment by reminding viewers that people go missing all the time but the news quickly moves on to another story. “When kids disappear, girls disappear, women, in particular, women of color disappear, you hear about it, then it’s gone. So, let’s break that chain. Let’s not forget what’s going on,” she told viewers.
Savannah Guthrie has leaned on her faith to help her through the heartbreaking disappearance of her mother. Our thoughts continue to be with the Guthrie family during this difficult time.
