Savannah Guthrie’s Brother Told Her She Could Be the Reason for Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance
Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since February. Guthrie opened up about her disappearance for the first time in an interview with her colleague, Hoda Kotb. She said she began to believe that her wealth could have been the perpetrator’s motivation. Her brother also told her that this could be a possibility.
Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since February
On Jan. 31, Nancy Guthrie had dinner with her daughter, Annie, and her husband. The following morning, her family realized something was wrong when she failed to arrive at a friend’s home. Nancy, who lives in Tucson, typically gathered with friends to watch the livestream of service at a New York church.
The family has since received ransom notes. Police have released footage of a masked man at Nancy’s door and even questioned a suspect, but they have filed no charges.
Savannah Guthrie tearfully reflected on her potential role in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance
In her first interview since her mother’s disappearance, Guthrie recalled a phone conversation with her brother, Camron. She admitted she asked him, “Do you think it’s because of me?”
He acknowledged that her wealth and fame could have led to their mother’s abduction.
“He said, ‘I’m sorry sweetie, but yeah, maybe,’” she said in an interview with Today (per Variety). “But I knew that.”
Guthrie said she desperately hopes that this is not the case.
“I hope not. I mean, we still don’t know. Honestly, we don’t know anything. So I don’t know that it’s because she’s my mom and somebody thought, ‘Oh, that lady has money, we can make a quick buck.’ I mean, that would make sense, but we don’t know.”
Still, she said she has come to terms with the fact that her wealth could have made her mother a target.
“To think that I brought this to her bedside, that it’s because of me,” she said. “And I just have to say, I’m so sorry, mommy. I am so sorry. I’m sorry to my sister and my brother and my kids and my nephew and Tommy, my brother-in-law. I’m so sorry. If it is me, I’m so sorry.”
She encouraged people to come forward if they know anything
At this point, Nancy Guthrie has been missing for close to two full months. Guthrie encouraged anyone who knows anything to come forward.
“Someone needs to do the right thing,” she said. “We are in agony. It is unbearable.”
She added that she feels tormented by thoughts of what her mother might have endured.
“And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness I imagine her terror. It is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. I will not hide my face. She needs to come home now.”
Guthrie also said that she has now come to believe that her mother is “with God.”
