The essentials
Savannah Guthrie returns to Today Show two months after her mother's disappearance from Arizona.
Savannah Guthrie has returned to the NBC Today Show after a two-month absence following her mother's disappearance. The NBC anchor had stepped back from on-air duties in early February after Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1.
Guthrie's return to the studio marks a visible step in her reengagement with her professional role while the search for her mother continues. She had previously returned to Rockefeller Center on March 6 to visit colleagues in person, and subsequently gave her first formal interview describing the experience as "agony" for her family.
The FBI and Pima County Sheriff's Department remain actively investigating the kidnapping, which authorities have characterized as likely targeted. A combined reward exceeding $1 million remains in place for information leading to Nancy Guthrie's recovery.
