Summary
Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie sat down with Hoda Kotb for her first interview since her 84-year-old mom Nancy went missing 54 days ago. Savannah talked about the disbelief and chaos in the first few days after Nancy disappeared, and the almost immediate conclusion she and her siblings came to: that Nancy was likely kidnapped for ransom. Savannah goes on to say she believes the two ransom notes she and her siblings responded to in videos were legitimate. She also says she believes that her fame, and the knowledge of her high income, probably enticed the kidnapper to take her mom in the middle of the night.

| 0:53.7 | was wrong. And she was on a plane just even a few hours after that phone call from her sister. She knew something immediately was wrong. |
| 0:54.3 | And she was on a plane just even a few hours after that phone call. But just the chaos, the confusion, |
| 0:59.6 | the disbelief. She put you in that mode. Like, can you imagine getting that phone call, racing |
| 1:06.8 | home? And all of the first initial thoughts that they believed, okay, maybe she had a |
