‘TODAY’ co-anchors pay tribute to Savannah Guthrie’s faith amidst her mother’s disappearance.

Following Savannah Guthrie’s appeal for prayers during the search for her mother, her colleagues on the ‘TODAY’ show expressed their support, highlighting Savannah’s steadfast faith. Jenna Bush Hager commented, “All of her friends are rallying, and know that the way that we can help her is to pray. Her faith leads us, and Nancy leads us as well.” This follows the news that Savannah’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since Sunday.

On Monday night, in a heartfelt post on Instagram, Savannah asked people to “please pray” for her mother’s safe return. The plea for prayers has resonated across the nation as both local and federal authorities continue their efforts to locate the 84-year-old woman, who was last seen on Saturday night at her home near Tucson, Arizona. Nancy Guthrie was reported missing the following day after she failed to arrive at church.

According to two individuals briefed on the investigation, Heith Janke, the FBI special agent in charge, was present at the Guthrie residence the night the family released an emotional video. Janke is responsible for the FBI’s activities in Arizona, particularly through its Tucson Resident Agency, a branch of the main office in Phoenix. The FBI plays a critical role in the probe into Nancy Guthrie’s case.
