In a new interview, Guthrie is putting the blame on herself. She questions if her celebrity status is why her mom was kidnapped. She said, "I'm so sorry, Mommy. I'm so sorry."
Guthrie can't help but blame herself for the kidnapping. She said the guilt has been eating her up inside.
"It's too much to bear, to think that I brought this to her bedside... and it's because of me," Guthrie said. "I'm so sorry, Mommy. I'm so sorry. ... to my sister and my brother and my kids and my nephew and my brother-in-law. I'm so sorry if it is me."
"I don't know that it's because she's my mom and somebody thought 'that girl has money, we could make a quick buck.' That would make sense," she also added.
Savannah Guthrie Blames Herself
The search for Nancy remains at a standstill. Authorities previously shared a photo of a masked man at her doorstep on the night she vanished. "I mean, it's just absolutely terrifying," Guthrie said. "I can't imagine that that is who [her mom] saw standing over her bed. It's too much."
When Savannah's sister Annie went to check on her, she was missing.
"My sister called me and I said 'Is everything OK?' And she said 'no, she said 'mom's missing,'" Guthrie said. Initially, they believed that she had a medical emergency.
"The back doors were propped open, you know, and that didn't make any sense," she revealed. "We thought maybe they came and there was a stretcher, and they took her out the back ... But her phone was there, and her purse was there, and all her things — and it just didn't make any sense."
The family has offered a $1 million reward for the return of their mother. We will continue to update you as more information on the case comes to light.
