Savannah Guthrie to return to Today show as search for mother continues

US TV presenter Savannah Guthrie will return to the Today show on 6 April, two months after her mother's disappearance.

In her first interview since Nancy Guthrie went missing, she said she "can't not come back" to the show "because it's my family".

"I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I'll belong anymore, but I would like to try," she added.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home near Tucson, Arizona, on 1 February. Investigators believe she was taken against her will, but have not arrested a suspect.

Savannah Guthrie told her former Today show co-host, Hoda Kotb, that returning to the morning news programme is "part of my purpose right now" and said she is "not gonna be the same".

A nationwide search for Nancy Guthrie has unveiled several leads, including discarded gloves, DNA evidence and alleged ransom notes, but it has not lead to any major progress.

Since her disappearance, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have posted multiple videos on social media, including making direct appeals to their mother's captor.

They are offering $1m (£760,000) reward for information that leads to her return, in addition to a $100,000 reward offered by the FBI.
