Savannah Guthrie visits ‘TODAY' studio as she plans to eventually return on air
“TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie visited the NBC morning show’s set Thursday as the investigation into her 84-year-old mother’s disappearance stretched into a 32nd day.
“Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her ‘TODAY’ colleagues,” a “TODAY” spokesperson said in a statement.
“While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home,” the spokesperson added.
Guthrie was reported missing Feb. 1 after she didn’t show up at a friend’s home in Tucson to watch an online church service. She was last seen the previous night around 9:45 p.m. after having dinner at her daughter Annie Guthrie’s home.
Authorities have described the case as a possible kidnapping or abduction, but clues have been scarce.
The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for Nancy Guthrie’s recovery.
In announcing that reward on Feb. 24, Savannah Guthrie said that while her family believes her mother “can come home,” they also “know that she may be lost” and may “already be gone.”
The FBI recovered doorbell camera images of an armed and masked man outside Guthrie’s home on the morning of her disappearance. Investigators have since described that person as a suspect, but he has not been publicly identified.
The FBI has said it is looking for a male who is 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, with an average build. In the doorbell camera images, he wore a black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.
