‘Do the right thing’: Savannah Guthrie Gives First Interview Since Mother Nancy’s Disappearance
‘Do the right thing’: Savannah Guthrie Gives First Interview Since Mother Nancy’s Disappearance
In her first interview since her mother’s disappearance, “Today” show host Savannah Guthries says her family is in “agony” as the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie continues.
“Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable,” Savannah Guthrie said in an interview with NBC News.
As CrimeOnline previously reported, Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on January 31, following dinner with family members. They reported her missing the following day when she failed to show for a virtual church gathering.
FBI agents stated that Guthrie had been taken against her will. Blood found on her front porch was confirmed as hers.
Despite this, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that they have not identified or located any suspects or persons of interest in this case.
“And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night,” Savannah Guthrie added.
“And in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now.”
FBI agents have released footage showing a man at Nancy Guthrie’s front door, which was thought to have occurred February 1, between 1:47 a.m. to 2:12 a.m.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously stated that Google indicated footage taken from Guthrie’s Nest camera, possibly showed a man at her door on January 11.
Earlier this week, Nanos stated that “Google initially reported that date as a ‘possibility,’ then later retracted the statement.”
Nanos also stated that it cannot be determined if the suspect was at the home on February 1. However, the footage showed the man removing Guthrie’s doorbell cam, which would be the “only way” authorities would know it happened on the night of the abduction.
So far, FBI and Google have not made comment on the timeline, according to NBC. However, agents have been asking neighbors specifically for footage from January 11, along with January 24.
“We do believe that something occurred on Jan. 11 and that’s with the FBI’s analysis of the equipment and digital stuff they’ve done,” Nanos told KOLD on March 23.
“We hope people search their memories, especially around the key timelines of Jan. 31 and the early morning hours of Feb.1, as well as the late evening of Jan. 11,” the Guthrie family previously said in a statement.
Over $1 million is being offered in the case.
- $102,500: 88-CRIME
- $100,000: 1-800-CALL-FBI
- $1 million from the Guthrie family: 1-800-CALL-FBI (tips can be anonymous)
Tipsters can also contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900.
Homeowners in the area are encouraged to submit relevant security footage through the PCSD Evidence Submission Portal.

Share TweetBadenoch blasts 'moaning' female Labour MPs over Burnham jobs 'quota'
Kemi Badenoch has told Labour women to earn a job in Andy Burnham's Cabinet instead of demanding they are handed jobs because of their gender.
The Tory leader lashed out today amid reports that female MPs are demanding the de-facto new prime minister introduce a 50:50 gender split 'quota' in his government.
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister also complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts.
But in a scathing article in the Times today Mrs Badenoch told them to 'stop moaning' and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'.
'There are many, many reasons why you shouldn't have any Milibands in the cabinet,' she said.
'But complaining that the boys haven't given them the right jobs or that the boys are taking all the jobs, just shows that Labour's women still don't get it.'
The idea of quotas was also attacked by Baroness Jacqui Smith, Labour's Skills Minister.
Asked by Times Radio if Mr Burnham should reserve jobs for women, she said: 'No, I think what Andy Burnham should be doing is building the very best team around him to change this country.'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs
Amid reports that former foreign secretary David Miliband (above, right, in 2010) is being lined up to return to the role, possibly with his brother Ed as Chancellor, one female minister complained that Burnham could not have 'more Milibands than women' in the top posts
But Mrs Badenoch told them to pipe down and get chosen on merit instead of retreating into 'more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country'
A letter written by the Women's Parliamentary Labour Party and seen by the BBC has called on Mr Burnham to ensure a 50:50 split between men and women in government jobs after he succeeds Sir Keir Starmer.
'We are asking you to demonstrate this change from day one and address the toxicity and misogyny within our own party and government,' it said.
Labour has never had a female leader, while the Conservatives have had three, and Mrs Badenoch urged the government to follow its meritocratic example.
'If you run a meritocracy, then you do not have to worry about jobs for the boys,' she wrote.
'Every woman who is a Conservative MP, every woman who has ever won the leadership, has had to fight to get where she is.
'By contrast, Labour women are demanding guarantees from Burnham. But the truth is he doesn't have to give any guarantees.
'If none of Labour's women are prepared to get their hands dirty and challenge him for the leadership, their demands are toothless.'
'In fact, it's quite revealing that the women's parliamentary Labour Party has written to Burnham asking him to commit himself to at least 50 per cent female ministers.
'This has nothing to do with meritocracy. It is yet more of the failed identity politics that is holding back our country.'
