Savannah Guthrie releases 'gut-wrenching' message amid criticism of FBI Director

Savannah Guthrie broke into tears in a her latest video posted on social media as authorities continue their search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.

"It's day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed. Every hour, minute, second, every long night has been agony since then. I have been worrying about her, fearing for her and aching for her and most of all just missing her... just missing her.  We know that million of you have been praying. So many of you, with faith, and no faith at all praying for her return and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing. We still believe.

She posted the video with the caption asking people for help in finding Nancy. 

"Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home. Call 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) — you can remain anonymous — or find a way to reach out to me."

British journalist Piers Morgan posted her video to his Instagram Story, writing with a broken heart emoji, "This is so gut-wrenching."

Her video came amid the backlash FBI Director Kash Patel is drawing over his beer-soaked celebration of  the Team US victory against Canada in the gold medal game in the 2026 Winter Olympics on Sunday.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home just outside Tucson on Jan. 31 and was reported missing the following day.

Authorities believe she was kidnapped, abducted or otherwise taken against her will. Drops of her blood were found on the front porch, but authorities haven’t publicly revealed much evidence.

Pictures of the FBI director's beer-soaked locker-room celebration in Milan were circulated online, with social media users taking jibes at Kash Patel over his agency's failure to find the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie and alleged inaction over Epstein files.
