Savannah Guthrie Breaks Down Wondering If She's The Reason For Mother's Kidnapping: 'If It Is Me, I’m So Sorry'
HuffPost
The "Today" show anchor said it's been "too much to bear" thinking "that I brought this to her bedside."
Savannah Guthrie broke down as she reflected on whether her “Today” show fame is to blame for the kidnapping of her mother, Nancy Guthrie.
The “Today” show anchor — in an emotional interview with Hoda Kotb — credited her “brilliant” brother, Camron Guthrie, and his military background for “very clearly” eyeing what may have sparked her mother’s disappearance from her Arizona home on Feb. 1.
“He said [on the phone], ‘I think she’s been kidnapped for ransom,’ and I said, ‘What? Well, why? What?’” recalled Savannah Guthrie, who noted that the family initially believed the 84-year-old had a medical episode overnight due to blood splatters on the front porch and a doorbell camera that was “yanked off.”
“It sounds so, like, how dumb could I be — but I just, I didn’t want to believe — I just said, ‘Do you think — because of me?’” she said.
Guthrie wiped away tears before wondering if someone knew that her mother lived at the residence and thought they could “make a quick buck” from her.
