During one of the most overwhelming times of their lives following the disappearance of her mother, Savannah Guthrie says she and her two siblings have been a source of comfort for one another.

In her first interview since Nancy Guthrie went missing in February, Savannah spoke with Hoda Kotb on TODAY about how her sister, Annie, and brother, Camron, have come together with her to give one another strength.

“My siblings are amazing,” Savannah said. “And we are a unit. And I talked about how brilliant my brother is. But my sister is equally brilliant, and also has special powers of intuition and faith and language and depth and heart.”

The three siblings have previous experience with tragedy as their father and Nancy’s husband, Charles Guthrie, died of a heart attack when Savannah was only 16 years old.

The tight bond they formed was needed again when police said their mother was forcibly taken from her home nearly two months ago. Savannah, Annie and Camron found the strength to release multiple emotional videos on Savannah’s Instagram account calling for Nancy’s return and any help that could lead to her being found.

“And I feel like we came together with all these beautiful gifts that came from our mom and dad and from God,” Savannah said. “And somehow, together, we did our best to come up with the words to say. And I haven’t posted one thing or said one thing that the three of us haven’t decided together.”

Savannah and her family stayed together in Arizona for weeks while under intense media scrutiny coverage.

“We had to move houses many times because people came, and not everyone is respectful, unfortunately,” she said. “There was a night we had to leave in the dark in the desert, holding hands, me and my sister and brother and I, get into a car waiting for us, because the people outside were closing in.”

They ultimately found a location away from the media glare but had to stay sequestered in it.

“So we found a place that was safe, then we couldn’t really leave too much,” Savannah said. “So those days are a blur. Crying and praying.”

Savannah also spoke to Hoda about the moment she learned Nancy was missing, whether she thought her mother was targeted due to Savannah being a public figure and the “cruel speculation“ that her family was somehow involved in her mother’s disappearance.
