Hoda Kotb Offers Heartfelt Support to Savannah Guthrie During Her Mother’s Mysterious Disappearance

Savannah Guthrie’s colleagues from the Today show, both current and former, have been expressing their support as an investigation unfolds regarding her missing mother.

The family of Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, reported her missing in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday.

She was last seen on Saturday, and police are now conducting a homicide investigation after discovering troubling evidence at her residence.

Following the announcement of her disappearance, the Today show team has been actively sharing messages of encouragement and urging the public to assist.

Hoda Kotb took the initiative on Monday morning by posting an image simply displaying the word ‘hope’ without any additional explanation.

In a separate upload, the 61-year-old posted a photo of Guthrie and her mother together on the Today show alongside the prayer emoji and a love heart.

Guthrie’s co-host Craig Melvin, 46, posted an the same photo of his colleague and her mom to Instagram alongside a caption that read: ‘Our thoughts and prayers are with Savannah and her family. 

‘We encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at (520) 351-4900.’

Similarly, Today’s meteorologist Dylan Dreyer, 44, also issued the same plea for information alongside a caption that read: ‘Join me in saying all the prayers you can to find our dear Savannah’s mom. She’s missing.’

TV personality and journalist Willie Geist was another of Guthrie’s peers to plead with his followers to contact authorities should they have any information.

Taking to his Instagram Story, Geist, 50, wrote: ‘If you have any information at all about the location of Savannah Guthrie’s wonderful mother Nancy… please call the Pima Sheriff in Arizona. She is missing.’

Peter Alexander, 49, who co-hosts Today on Saturdays, also shared the news to his social media account.

‘Nancy Guthrie, Savannah’s mom, reported missing in Arizona Sunday,’ he wrote alongside a screenshot of the Today show report.

Elsewhere, Laura Jarrett, 42, who works alongside Alexander on air at the weekend, reshared the Today show’s report on Nancy’s case.

Search efforts are ongoing throughout the Tucson area with crews using dogs, drones and even the sheriff’s department’s plane to search the Catalina Foothills neighborhood for the missing woman.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos was unable to rule out any foul play.

Hoda Kotb led the charge and on Monday morning shared an image of the word ‘hope’ without further context 

TV personality and journalist Willie Geist pleaded with his followers to contact authorities should they have any information 

‘We saw some things at the home that were concerning to us,’ he told reporters at a press conference held on Monday morning. 

‘We do in fact have a crime scene and we do in fact have a crime.’

He also said that Nancy is of great ‘sound mind’ and described her as ‘sharp as a tack.’

‘The family wants everyone to know this isn’t someone who hasn’t wondered off,’ he added.

Nancy is described as five-foot-five inches, weighing about 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes.

It is unclear what she may have been wearing at the time of her disappearance.

She is considered a ‘vulnerable adult’ mostly due to her age and physical mobility issues, deputies said, noting that she does not have any cognitive issues.
