Savannah Guthrie, co‑anchor of NBC’s Today, delivers a deeply personal Easter Sunday message, speaking candidly about her “deep disappointment with God” as the search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, enters its third month. The emotional video, recorded for Good Shepherd New York’s online church service, goes viral and draws national attention to Nancy’s disappearance, sparking fresh calls for tips and information.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home near Tucson, Arizona, on January 31, 2026. She is reported missing on February 1 after she fails to attend a scheduled virtual church service, triggering a high‑profile investigation that authorities describe as a possible kidnapping. The Guthrie family offers a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy’s safe return, driving renewed media coverage and public interest.
Savannah’s Easter speech is both sad and hopeful. She talks about the signs of rebirth all around us, yet says her heart feels “far emptier” since her mother went missing. She shares how she wrestles with doubt and anger at God, echoing Christ’s cry on the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Still, she ends by declaring, “I still believe,” showing how her Christian faith keeps her grounded amid long‑running uncertainty.
The message comes days before Savannah returns to co‑anchoring NBC’s Today, where she will continue raising awareness about her mother’s case. Many viewers and fellow media figures praise her courage in speaking openly about grief and unanswered questions on a national stage. They also appreciate how she blends spiritual reflection with public transparency.
