Today Show journalist Savannah’s mum Nancy, 84, was last seen on the evening of January 31 – with it believed by police that Nancy was abducted from her home in Tuscon, Arizona in the early hours of February 1. Footage of a masked man approaching Nancy’s home was later released however, two months on, cops do not have a suspect.
Savannah, 54, and her family continue to make public appeals for Nancy. And now, as the search for Nancy reaches the 53 day mark, Savannah has appeared on the Today Show to give her first interview since her mother’s disappearance.

The full interview is set to air over the next two days, but the programme in which Savannah works as a journalist, has shared a clip of her interview with Hoda Kotb. In a heartbreaking mum, Savannah told her co-host Hoda, 61: “Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable,” she admitted as both Savannah and Hoda, 61, were seen in tears.
Savannah tearfully continued: “And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night – every night – and in the darkness, I imagine her terror and it is unthinkable but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now,” she pleaded.
After the clip was shown on the programme, a clip cut to Hoda in the studio with her co-anchors, in which she said: “There is a desperation and also a steeliness about Savannah. She’s hoping that somebody – whoever this person is – will see something and say something. And as you’ll see in the coming days she talks about so many things, she talks about the investigation, she talks about her faith and she talks about how she’s getting through. That was one portion there and in the next portion you’ll see how she talks about how God’s holding her hand.”
Hoda also said she was “marvelling” at Savannah’s ability to conduct the interview in such a well put together manner despite the heartbreaking circumstances. Savannah last appeared on the show two days before her mother’s disappearance and has since primarily stayed in Arizona to assist in the search for her missing mum.
She made a return to the Today Show earlier this month in which she told her co-host Hoda “I’m still me”. She added: “‘I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope.” She added: “And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be.”
There have been no suspects nor has Nancy been found safe in the investigation, which has drawn criticism to land at the door of the Pima County Sheriff’s Office. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has since insisted he has no regrets over the case, despite not yet solving it – after allegations the crime scene was tainted as it was released too early.
Speaking on News4 Tuscon, Sheriff Nanos said: “I don’t regret we let the crime scene go too soon or any of that.” He added: “That’s just silly.” And, when asked if the search ‘went the way you wanted it to go’, he responded: “Yes absolutely.”
