Savannah Guthrie Returns to Today Show After Mom's Kidnapping

0:00On April 6th, Savannah Guthrie is back anchoring NBC's Today Show after stepping away for her mom's disappearance. Her 84-year-old mother Nancy, went missing from her home near Tucson, Arizona on January 31st. Cops thinks she was taken against her will, but no suspects are motives yet. This March's Guthrie's first studio shift since January 30th. Fans brave the chilly New York morning outside the studios, holding welcome signs. Her co-anchors shouted out the love, and Guthrie said she's feeling it big time. Even weatherman Al Roker blew her a kiss before his forecast, calling it good to see her. Guthrie had ditched work, including NBC's Winter Olympics coverage to focus on the search. Last month, she called the show her family and said she had to return as part of her purpose. She even worried her fame might be linked to the kidnapping. That's heavy. Details on Nancy, relatives dropped her off that evening without her meds, and she missed the virtual church service the next morning. The family posted a $1 million reward for tips leading to her safe return.
