A tearful savannah river woodrow wilson guthrie, in her number one question since her 84-year-old overprotect was apparently abducted from her Arizona home, said that "someone needs to do the right thing" and come forward with information to help the investigation.
"We are in agony," she told NBC News colleague Hoda Kotb in a portion of the interview that aired Wednesday on the Today show. Guthrie said she wakes in the middle of each night thinking about what her mother went through.
NBC said Wednesday that the full interview with its Today host will air on the program Thursday and Friday. It is Guthrie's first interview since her mother was reported missing on Feb. 1. Based on security footage, authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped or otherwise taken against her will.
Both Guthrie and Kotb were crying during the brief portion of the interview aired Wednesday. Kotb, Guthrie's former co-host, has returned to Today while Guthrie has been away.
Guthrie said that while it is unbearable to think about the terror her mother must have felt, "those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now."
Savannah Guthrie has been a co-host of NBC's morning show since 2012 and is expected to return at some point, although no date has been set as she spends time with her family.
Despite offering a $1-million US reward for information, there has been little movement in the investigation. Guthrie's family appealed to neighbours in Arizona last weekend to think back on anything they might have seen that could help the investigation. "No detail is too small," they said.
Kotb said Wednesday that "there is a desperation and a steeliness about Savannah. She hopes that somebody, whoever that person is, will say something."
Little information about the investigation has been released publicly by authorities in recent weeks. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI said Wednesday that investigators continue to examine leads.
