Savannah Guthrie tearfully discussed the ransom note her family received in February allegedly claiming her missing mom, Nancy Guthrie, has died on Tuesday’s “Today” show.
The NBC personality broke down telling her co-hosts that even though she has “no comment” on the headlines and is “not involved in … coverage” of her mother’s abduction, she couldn’t “pretend” to not be present for the conversation.
“This is unusual and unprecedented to say the least to be sitting here,” Guthrie noted after reporter Liz Kreutz shared the news.
“So since I am I just wanted to take the opportunity to really ask people and really beg people to come forward because somebody knows something,” Guthrie continued.
“This is a news story today that is on your radar, but this is the live my sister, [Annie Guthrie], lives, that I live, that my brother, [Camron Guthrie], lives, that our extended families live, that our children live every day,” she explained.
Savannah, 54, and her family members are “in agony,” she added during the emotional segment.
“We cannot be at peace,” the journalist said. “No matter how much I try to come out here every day and smile and find that joy — and I will, I promise I will — this is a moment to say we need your help. … I’m not gonna miss that opportunity.
“No matter how small, the reward is there. You can tell us, it can be anonymous. Please do the right thing,” Savannah, who was surrounded by colleagues Craig Melvin, Al Roker, Carson Daly and Jenna Bush Hager, concluded.
She promised, “We love our mom, and we’ll never stop looking for her. Ever.”
Melvin, 47, chimed in to point the public to an FBI tip line to give the Guthrie family “a modicum of peace.”
Additionally, he told Savannah, “The bravery and courage with which you have done this job every day since that happened is nothing short of remarkable.”
Savannah took a brief hiatus from Studio 1A when her mom was reported missing on Feb. 1 and she returned in April while the investigation remains ongoing.
