Savannah Guthrie’s friends ‘fear’ for ‘devastated’ journalist after ‘disturbing’ plea to mom’s captor
Savannah Guthrie’s friends are concerned about the “Today” show anchor two weeks into her mom Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
The journalist issued a tearful plea to her mother’s captor via Instagram on Sunday — and one of her pals found the footage “profoundly disturbing.”
On Monday, the source told Page Six, “She looks devastated. She looks like she’s struggling. She can’t be doing well.”

Savannah and her siblings have released four other videos, and ex-CIA member and FBI special agent Tracy Walder called the latest clip an attempt from the Daytime Emmy winner to try “a different angle.”
The FBI has been in Tucson, Ariz., all month working with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department on Nancy’s case — and Sheriff Chris Nanos believes resolution could take years.
“It’s exhausting, these ups and downs. But we will keep moving forward,” he told the New York Times on Sunday. “We won’t quit.”

Last week, authorities released the first look at the abductor in security footage from Nancy’s doorbell camera.
In another recent bombshell discovery, investigators recovered DNA from Nancy’s residence that does not belong to anyone “close” to her.
They are awaiting further DNA results and “actively looking at everyone as a suspect” as a $100,000 reward remains on the table for any information leading to Nancy’s return.
