Savannah Guthrie's Friend Left Shocked by Lack of Resolution in Nancy Guthrie Case
Gayle King spoke out about the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Savannah's mom. Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1.
On Saturday, April 18, King attended the Breakthrough Prize event in Los Angeles where she chatted with Us Weekly. When King was asked about Savannah returning to Today after two months away, King didn't hesitate to show her support.
"Listen, we're just glad Savannah's back, but of course, our hearts are still aching and still breaking. There are no words to describe what she's going through," King told the outlet.
"I'm still hoping that somebody will do the right thing," King continued. "Somebody, somebody out there knows something, and it's shocking to me after seeing Savannah open up her heart, after looking at the video that we all saw, and after the million [dollar] reward that there has not been some resolution in this case."
"I am just here wishing her well and cheering. I'm glad that she's back," King added.
In early February, just after Nancy was reported missing, King got teary-eyed on CBS Mornings while sharing an update on the case.
"We're starting things a little differently this morning because like you, we're all waking up this morning with very heavy hearts-praying for our friend and our colleague, Savannah Guthrie," King, 71, said at the time. "Her mom Nancy is still missing at this hour and late last night, the Guthrie family went public with a very emotional message."
King became visibly emotional as the network played Savannah's recent Instagram video during the segment.
Many are hoping for a break in the case after the FBI received DNA evidence that was collected from Nancy's home and spent the past several weeks at a lab in Florida.
