What are you talking about?\u2019 She said, \u2018She\u2019s gone.\u2019 And she was in a panic. I was in a panic.\u201d (Nancy was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona, home on January 31 and was <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1243107\/today-savannah-guthrie-mom-missing-nancy\/\">reported missing<\/a> the next day.)<\/p>\n<p>Officials were already on the scene when Savannah\u2019s siblings called her. They initially assumed Nancy experienced a medical emergency in the night. However, the back doors were open, Nancy\u2019s personal belongings were still there, and she was not located at any local hospitals. Savannah also clarified that Nancy couldn\u2019t have just \u201cwandered off,\u201d as she was in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1243321\/savannah-guthrie-mother-missing-abduction-nancy\/\">\u201ctremendous pain,\u201d<\/a> a bad back, and could only walk down her driveway to get the mail on a \u201cgood day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savannah went on to reveal that her brother, Camron Guthrie, quickly figured out the suspected reason for Nancy\u2019s disappearance. \u201cHe said, \u2018I think she\u2019s been kidnapped for ransom.\u2019 And I said, \u2018What?\u2019 I mean, it sounds, like, how could dumb could I be? But I didn\u2019t want to believe it.

I\u2019m so sorry.

It\u2019s surreal. How is it possible that we are having to make a video speaking to a kidnapper, who took an 84-year-old woman in the dead of night, in her pajamas, with no shoes, without her medicine, this little person? And to beg for mercy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for the reported <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1244748\/nancy-guthrie-savannah-ransom-note-today-nbc\/\">ransom notes<\/a>, Savannah said she believes most of them are \u201cnot real.\u201d However, Savannah said she thinks the two notes she and her family received and responded to via social media were real. She also described the released security camera footage of a suspect at Nancy\u2019s home \u201cabsolutely terrifying,\u201d adding, \u201cI can\u2019t imagine that that is who she saw standing over her bed. I can\u2019t. That\u2019s too much.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Savannah expressed her thanks to the authorities and tech companies who helped uncover the security camera footage, and said it was \u201cunbearable\u201d to see speculation spread online that whoever was responsible was someone in her own family. (The Guthrie family have been <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tvinsider.com\/1246133\/savannah-guthrie-family-spouses-cleared-in-nancy-guthrie-investigation\/\">cleared<\/a> as suspects.)<\/p>\n<p>She and her family had to \u201cmove houses many times\u201d while staying in Arizona amid the investigation, and once had to leave a property in the dark due to onlookers. Savannah noted that people have worked \u201ctirelessly\u201d to bring Nancy home, but her family needs answers to be at peace. \u201cSomeone can do the right thing, and it is never too late to do the right thing,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd our hearts are focused on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More of Kotb\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.today.com\/video\/part-i-savannah-guthrie-on-moment-she-learned-her-mom-was-missing-260096581937\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">conversation<\/a> with Savannah aired on <em>Today<\/em>\u2018s 8 a.m. ET hour, during which Savannah said she still refers to her mother in the present tense. She gushed about her \u201cincredible\u201d mom and said Nancy would have been \u201camazed\u201d by the support she\u2019s received so far. She got emotional over Nancy\u2019s Arizona home, which was her childhood residence. \u201cIt\u2019s hollowed ground. My mom loved and treasured that house,\u201d she said, calling the space her \u201csafe haven.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really hard to see that violated, and the terror, the terror that she must have felt is unbearable,\u201d she stated.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Part II: Savannah Guthrie on the Difficult to Decision to Leave Arizona\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/23iS6EtAZTs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Kotb asked about how much her kids know about the situation, and Savannah said they would reach out to her while she was in Arizona asking about leads and expressing hope. \u201cWe tried to talk to them, we tried to give them a little more certainty than we have, to let them grieve,\u201d she shared.<\/p>\n<p>Reflecting on leaving Arizona to return to New York, Savannah tearfully stated, \u201cI looked out the window of the airplane and just thought, \u2018Where are you?\u2019 That desert, that beautiful desert that she loves, [I said,] \u2018Where are you? How could I leave you?\u2019 But my mom taught me a lot about grief.
