Savannah Guthrie to return to ‘Today’ on April 6 as ‘part of my purpose’ in search for her mom Savannah Guthrie, cohost of the “Today” show, will return to the program on April 6, her colleagues announced, as she continues her search for her missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie. During an interview with Hoda Kotb that aired on Friday, Guthrie expressed her emotional struggle, saying, “I don’t know if I can do it. I don’t know if I’ll belong anymore. And I would like to try. I would like to try.” She emphasized that her return is “part of my purpose,” stating, “I can’t not come back. This is my family.” Nancy Guthrie was last seen on the night of January 31 and reported missing the next day from her home in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson, Arizona. Guthrie described her anguish, saying she wants to return to work to “smile, and when I do, it will be real, and my joy will be my protest.” She acknowledged the pain of her situation but vowed not to let grief overwhelm her, stating, “I will not fall apart. I will not let whoever did this take my children’s mother from them.” Guthrie’s return to the “Today” show will occur the day after Easter Sunday, a time she has reflected on deeply due to her mother’s strong Christian faith. Nancy Guthrie, who was reported missing after skipping a gathering to watch an online church service, was a devout believer. Guthrie shared how her mother taught her to wrestle with faith during difficult times, including when her husband died from a heart attack when Guthrie was 16. “She taught me. I saw her grieve. I saw her world shatter. I saw it, and I saw her get up,” Guthrie said, adding that she is drawing strength from her mother’s example.#tucson_arizona #hoda_kotb #savannah_guthrie #catalina_foothills #pima_county_sheriff_department
