Savannah Guthrie’s First TV Interview on Missing Mother Centers on Plea for Tips and New Details

Her on-air plea aims to shake loose new leads in a case with no named suspect.

Overview

  • The Today co-anchor’s interview with Hoda Kotb, which aired Thursday, featured a direct appeal for anyone with information to "do the right thing."
  • Guthrie described what her family found at the Tucson home, including back doors left propped open, blood on the front steps, and a doorbell camera that had been yanked off.
  • She said her brother first raised ransom as a likely motive and she fears her public profile may have made her mother a target, though she stressed the family still does not know.
  • Guthrie said several ransom-style messages were sent after the disappearance and she believes the two notes her family engaged with may be genuine.
  • Investigators with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI report blood confirmed as Nancy Guthrie’s, other DNA not yet matched, and a pacemaker signal gap during the likely window, with $1.1 million in rewards posted and no suspect identified.
