Gayle King has addressed the ongoing disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie, urging anyone with information to come forward. Speaking at Michael Rubin’s Fanatics Super Bowl event in San Francisco, the “CBS Mornings” host emphasized, “Somebody knows something. Now is the time for that somebody to speak up.”
King, who previously called the situation “unimaginable” during a Thursday broadcast, referenced Savannah Guthrie’s emotional video appeal with her siblings. She expressed how hearing Savannah say “Mommy, we’re all looking for you” resonated deeply, highlighting the family’s desperate search for their 84-year-old mother. King noted the profound mother-daughter bond between Savannah and Nancy, calling the alleged kidnapping “frightening” and “disturbing.”
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing Sunday after failing to attend church in Tucson, Arizona, having last been seen Saturday evening. Authorities declared her home a crime scene, stating evidence suggests she was “taken against her will.” Investigators seized a vehicle from her garage and reviewed potential video evidence from nearby locations. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed the case remains active but withheld specific details.
Reports emerged of a ransom note demanding millions in Bitcoin, with the FBI verifying a deadline for payment. On Saturday, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings issued another plea, stating, “We beg you to return our mother… we will pay.” Authorities continue to analyze evidence while the family seeks Nancy’s safe return.
