An emotional moment unfolded at the TODAY SHOW studio when longtime co-anchor Savannah Guthrie returned to visit her colleagues for the first time since her mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing earlier this year.
The visit, which took place on March 5 at New York’s Rockefeller Center, was filled with gratitude, hope and heartfelt support from the broadcast team.
Guthrie thanked her colleagues for “caring about my mom as much as I do.”
“I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me,” she added. “And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be. I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?’ 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.”
PEOPLE reported that Guthrie’s friend Dylan Dreyer led the group in prayer for Guthrie and her mother.

“We’re here holding hands as a family, in a place where we don’t understand why this is happening…It is not too bold to ask God for the biggest miracles every day,” she prayed.
“It felt like the right moment for all of us,” Dreyer said later of the faith-filled moment. “We all feel so helpless during this situation. When I feel helpless, I pray, and we talk about how the TODAY show is a family, and here we were, each of us praying individually. Why not hold hands and send up one big prayer to God? Let’s ask for a miracle. He wants to feel needed, right? And so we asked for that miracle, and if you don’t ask, you don’t receive.”
Guthrie plans to return to the show, although an exact date hasn’t been announced.
It has been over a month since her 84-year-old mother was allegedly taken from her home. She was last seen on the evening of Jan. 31. The family is now offering $1 million to anyone who can lead to her finding.
Guthrie has been posting frequent updates to her Instagram account.
Last week, she said, “we feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. bring her home.”
People in the comment section shared their support.
“Praying every day for a miracle,” one person said. Another added, “We won’t stop until she is home.”
Guthrie said in another video, “We still believe in a miracle. We still believe that she can come home. We also know that she may be lost. She may already be gone. If this is what is to be, then we will all accept it. But we need to know where she is.”
Our prayers are with the Guthrie family as they navigate this difficult time in hopes that Nancy will be found safe.
