Savannah Guthrie Returns to 'Today' After Extended Leave

Her on-air return aims to refocus attention on her mother's unresolved abduction investigation.

Overview

Guthrie returned to NBC’s Today, resuming co-host duties during an unresolved family crisis.
Her mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanished from her Arizona home Feb. 1 in what investigators call a targeted abduction, and relatives say she was taken from bed without needed medication.
The Pima County Sheriff and the FBI reported blood and DNA on the porch and video of a masked, armed person near the house.
Investigators are reviewing neighbor security footage, and a distinct backpack seen on the suspect is the strongest lead, with no arrests or named suspect despite a $1 million family reward.
On Easter, Guthrie shared a church video where she spoke of doubt and faith during the search, underscoring the strain on the family.
