Savannah Guthrie shared a quiet reminder of her missing mother, Nancy, during Thursday’s “Today” broadcast, seven months after she disappeared from her Arizona home. Savannah, 54, was discussing an upcoming trip to Ireland with her “Today” colleagues when the conversation turned personal.
What Did Savannah Guthrie Say About Her Mom on ‘Today’?
Savannah’s brief mention of Nancy came as the “Today” team discussed plans to broadcast live from Ireland. The morning show host revealed that the destination holds special meaning because of her mother’s family history.
“I love that we’re all going. I’ve never been to Ireland,” Savannah said on Thursday, September 10, as reported by TV Insider. “My mother’s family — my mother was Irish, [as was] her grandmother. They were from Galway.”
Nancy was reported missing from her Arizona home in February—the investigation into what happened to her remains active. The comment was one of the few times Savannah has spoken about her mother on the show since Nancy disappeared. Her family connection to Galway added an emotional layer to what Savannah otherwise described as a dream trip.
The longtime NBC journalist has continued working while also publicly urging anyone with information about her mother’s disappearance to come forward.
As she navigates the uncertainty surrounding her mother, Savannah continues balancing her work commitments with parenting. She shares two children, Vale, 12, and Charley, 9, with her husband, Michael Feldman, 57, whom she married in 2014.
What Happened to Nancy Guthrie?
NBC/GettyAuthorities have not publicly identified a suspect, and Nancy has not been found.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department continues working with the FBI as authorities pursue tens of thousands of tips and potential leads. Weeks after Nancy disappeared, the FBI released footage from her Google Nest camera showing a masked person approaching her front door, but investigators have not publicly identified a suspect.
Savannah and her family have offered a reward of up to $1 million for information that could help determine what happened to Nancy.
The “Today” anchor has continued making public appeals for answers, including an emotional plea in which she vowed her family would not stop searching.
What Has Savannah Guthrie Said About the Search?
Savannah shared an emotional message about her mother on Instagram in August. “This is our beautiful Mom. Six months ago, someone took her out of her bed in the dead of night,” she wrote.
Savannah said the months without answers had left the family devastated but determined to keep searching. She also appealed directly to anyone who might know something. “We need someone to come forward. Someone knows something. Someone suspects something,” she wrote.
Savannah later vowed that the family would continue looking for answers, ending her message with a simple plea: “Please. Bring her home. 💛.”
Thursday’s “Today” moment offered a different kind of remembrance. Instead of discussing the investigation, Savannah spoke about her mother through a family connection that remains meaningful to her.
Anyone with information is urged to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Savannah Guthrie and her family are also offering a $1 million reward for their mother’s return.
