SAVANNAH Guthrie was pictured at the Today Show studios for the first time, after her mother Nancy’s abduction last month.

The lead anchor of the morning show had spent over a month in Arizona while helping search for her 84-year-old mother, Nancy, who went missing from her Tucson area home on February 1st.

In a statement to The U.S. Sun, the Today Show said, “Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues.

“While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home.”

In other photos, Savannah was seen wiping away tears inside the studio, as she thanked her team for their support after Nancy’s abduction.

 

Meanwhile, sources told Brian Stelter at CNN that Savannah told the crew, “I have every intention of coming back. I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family. And, I would like to try.”

She also thanked the team for “caring about my mom as much as I do.”

In a tearful segment in the 4th hour of Today, Jenna Bush Hager fought to maintain her composure as she spoke about Savannah’s return.

Co-host Sheinelle Jones, who previously opened up about her husband’s fatal battle with brain cancer on Today, also spoke about seeing Savannah on Thursday.

 

She said “We’ve been wearing our pins, and everybody I know is just like touching her, and we’re hugging, and everybody wants to lay eyes on her.

“But it’s interesting, because I think I handle moments like this differently now, because I am in some ways, I’m not smiling, but I feel I’m proud of Savannah, and I’m rooting for Savannah, and I know the strength that it would take to even just come in here and to be amongst all of us.”

Hoda Kotb, who stepped away from the morning show last year, has been filling in for Savannah.

Inside Savannah’s decision to return to Today

After spending over a month on the ground in Arizona assisting law enforcement with the abduction investigation, an insider told The U.S. Sun that the 54-year-old journalist is heading home to resume her life and provide stability for her children.

The source noted that Savannah remains deeply committed to her career, a passion she famously shared with her mother.

The investigation has been clouded by a series of ransom notes sent through various media channels, though these messages arrived without any verifiable proof of life.

Savannah’s husband, political operative Michael Feldman, visited the studio to personally thank the staff for their prayers and for using their platform to raise awareness about Nancy’s case.

Despite the professional transition, the emotional weight of the situation remains heavy.

Another insider claimed to The U.S. Sun that the family is beginning to process the heartbreaking possibility that Nancy may not be found alive, suggesting that remaining in Arizona is no longer the most helpful path forward.

Nancy was first reported missing on February 1st, after she failed to attend church services that morning, an absence that immediately sparked concern among her inner circle.

While authorities have yet to identify any official suspects, the case has been marked by chilling evidence, including Nest camera footage that captured a masked individual interfering with the home’s security system.

 

In a final, desperate attempt to generate leads, Savannah shared an emotional video on Instagram last week.

In the footage, she made a tearful plea for her mother’s safe return and confirmed that the family has officially increased their private reward offer to $1 million, hoping the life-changing sum will finally convince someone with information to come forward.
