Savannah Guthrie returned to NBC’s Today show on Monday for the first time in more than two months, delivering an emotional message to viewers as the search continues for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.
On Monday, the co-anchor made her first appearance on the show since January 30, amid the ongoing search for her mother who police believe was kidnapped from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. Guthrie wore a yellow outfit for her return in an apparent nod to the ribbons and flowers that had been left outside her mother's home as a symbol of hope after she disappeared.
She returned to a crowd of cheering fans at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City on Monday morning. Many of the fans held up signs welcoming Guthrie back to the show. As Guthrie joined her co-anchor Craig Melvin, she delivered a tearful message to her fans.

"These signs are so beautiful. You guys have been so beautiful," Guthrie said to the viewers. "I received so many letters, so much kindness to me and my whole family. We feel it. We feel your prayers, so thank you so much."
A video showing the message was shared by X account @FoxTrueCrime on Monday morning.
Guthrie, who has co-anchored Today since 2012, stepped away from the program after her mother's disappearance. Speaking on the show on Monday, she said that "it is good to be home" and thanked supporters for their well wishes.
Nancy Guthrie Update as Case Enters Third Month
More than two months after Nancy Guthrie went missing from her southern Arizona home, investigators say the 84‑year‑old remains unaccounted for and no suspect has been publicly identified.
Authorities continue to treat the case as an apparent abduction, citing evidence from the scene and surveillance images showing a masked individual near Guthrie’s residence the night she disappeared. The family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery, as law enforcement stresses that recent discoveries, including a woman’s body found in an Arizona canal, are not connected to the case, which has entered its 65th day.
When Did Nancy Guthrie Go Missing?
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on the evening of January 31 after being dropped off at her home in the Catalina Foothills north of Tucson. She was reported missing the following day after failing to attend church. Investigators with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department believe she was taken from her home against her will, and the FBI has since joined the investigation.
During Monday’s broadcast, Savannah Guthrie did not share new details about the investigation but thanked colleagues, viewers and law enforcement for their support.
