Sara Haines has offered her support to her former colleague Savannah Guthrie as the search for the “Today” show star’s missing mom, Nancy, continues.
“The View” co-host exclusively spoke with Page Six about Savannah’s heartbreaking situation at Anne Klein’s Women Who Do Awards luncheon at the Rainbow Room Wednesday.
“I have a lot of friends at the ‘Today’ show,” Haines — who starred as the NBC show’s fourth-hour contributing correspondent from 2009 to 2013 — said.
“So from the moment it happened, I’ve been in touch with them and mainly, not for a response, but just saying, I’m sending my love, I’m sending my prayers.”
Haines said that she has been trying to utilize social media to spread awareness.
“I’m praying, I’m hoping, I’m trying to stay abreast of everything happening,” she said.
While Haines, 48, and Savannah, 54, no longer work at the same network, she still feels very close to her.
“I’m at ABC now, but having grown up at NBC and been there, overlapped with Savannah, it deeply feels like family still,” she said. “And to know that that is happening to her, feels so personal to so many of us that know her [and] that know the people around her.”
Haines is hoping that Savannah and her loves ones will soon find “some peace” and get the answers they need.
“I want it solved, I want them to figure something out,” Haines said. “My heart breaks and I have no words for how hard this is to watch.”
As for whether Haines and her ABC colleagues are feeling any heightened fears for their safety after Nancy’s kidnapping, she told us, “Any concerns I have are not new.”
“For anyone thinking about their place in the world, it’s always a concern,” Haines said. “I think with Savannah Guthrie, we’re still too in it to assess it.”
“Having worked with Savannah, I can’t get past her part and her mom’s part to even think about my life, myself [and] how it affects the greater world,” Haines continued, adding, “I’m so single-focused on being brought to my knees in pain from a distance watching this.”
Savannah — who joined the “Today” show as a co-anchor in 2012 — has been absent from the show since her mom was dragged from her Tucson-area home against her will on Feb. 1.
Nancy, 84, was last seen alive on Jan. 31. She was reported missing the next day, prompting an investigation by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department
Savannah received an alleged ransom note demanding $6 million in bitcoin in exchange for Nancy’s release. While Savannah has stated that she will pay the ransom, she asked the purported kidnapper to show a proof of life — to no avail.

Amid the desperate search for the Guthrie family matriarch, police obtained frightening security footage showing a masked and armed individual outside Nancy’s home on the night she disappeared.
While they have followed several leads, law enforcement has yet to determine the identity of the suspect.
Last week, Savannah visited her “Today” show family at Studio 1A. While some sources claimed last month that the anchor will never return to her spot on the show, Page Six confirmed there is still a possibility she will come back.
