Savannah Guthrie Skipping Today After Her Mother Goes Missing, See Her Statement

"TODAY" weekday co-anchor Savannah Guthrie is once again missing from her usual morning post, though for completely different reasons than her recent medical-related absence. Reports surfaced over the weekend identifying her mother, Nancy Guthrie, as a “missing vulnerable adult” in her Arizona community, and the journalist addressed the situation with a personal statement.

When "TODAY's" February 2 telecast began, viewers saw Hour 4 co-anchor Sheinelle Jones sitting next to Craig Melvin in his second year as Hoda Kotb's replacement, and he wasted no time in addressing the “deeply personal story” that caused the shake-up.
