Savannah Guthrie Asks the Public for Prayers
Savannah Guthrie has remained in Arizona this week and has not appeared at the anchor desk. In a social media post shared late Monday, she asked the public for support, writing, “raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment. Bring her home.” The message reflected both the family’s concern and their hope as the investigation continues.
Savannah Guthrie grew up in Tucson as the youngest of three siblings. Her father died of a heart attack when she was 16 years old. She later graduated from the University of Arizona and worked as a reporter and anchor at KVOA-TV in Tucson before joining “Today” in 2011. She became a co-anchor the following year, a role that has made her a familiar face to millions of viewers nationwide.
Nancy Guthrie’s Role in Holding Her Family Together
Before her disappearance, Nancy Guthrie had occasionally been introduced to viewers through her daughter’s work on television. Savannah Guthrie has publicly credited her mother with holding the family together after the sudden death of her father, describing the period as one of profound adjustment and loss.
“When my dad died, our family just hung onto each other for dear life because it was such a shock. We were just trying to figure out how to become a family of four when we’d always been a family of five,” she said on “Today” in 2017.
Nancy Guthrie also appeared in a story her daughter produced about her hometown late last year. When asked what led the family to settle in Tucson in the 1970s, Nancy Guthrie spoke fondly of the area and its lifestyle. “It’s so wonderful. Just the air, the quality of life,” she said. “It’s laid back and gentle.”
