What To Know

  • Megyn Kelly suggested that Savannah Guthrie may have undisclosed information about her mother Nancy’s abduction.
  • A detail mentioned by Savannah in a recent Instagram video had not been previously confirmed by authorities.
  • Kelly also speculated that the timing of Savannah’s $1 million reward offer might have been influenced by concerns within the family.

Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly has suggested that Today co-host Savannah Guthrie may have additional knowledge about her mother’s disappearance that has not yet been made public.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah, has been missing since January 31, when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Since then, investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect, shared a description of the potential abductor, and cleared the Guthrie family as suspects.

On Tuesday’s (February 24) edition of SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show, Kelly addressed Savannah’s latest Instagram appeal. In a video released Tuesday, Savannah shared an update and also offered a “reward of up to $1 million for any information that leads us to [Nancy’s] recovery.”

Kelly focused specifically on the first line of Savannah’s video, in which the NBC host said, “I’m coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed.”

“No one has ever said that before,” Kelly said, referring specifically to the mention of Nancy being taken from her bed. “In fact, the sheriff said it early on and then took it back and said he didn’t mean to say that and wasn’t confirming whether or not she was taken from her bed.”

She continued, “But there it is, straight from Savannah Guthrie herself. That’s news.”

One of Kelly’s guests, Hamilton Security Group founder James Hamilton, said he also noticed the mention of the bed. “Now, is she just saying that, as if to say, you know, sometimes in kidnappings, like a JonBenét Ramsey taken from her bed type of deal. And it’s almost like something you would say,” Hamilton stated.

“But I’m with you,” he added. “I think she was literally, that Savannah knows something that we didn’t know, and now we do know, that she was taken from her bed.”

If that’s the case, Hamilton says it rules out the possibility that Nancy answered the door to the suspect. “But if they roused her from her bed, that’s a totally different thing, and that’s significant,” Hamilton noted.

Kelly also suggested the reason Savannah is offering the $1 million reward now is that a family member might have talked her out of it originally.

“There is also the possibility that the reason somebody close to Savannah talked her out of offering a million dollars early on is they thought somebody might come out of the woodwork and point the finger at them,” she stated.

    I think Meagan Kelly is jealous of Savannah Guthrie and she’s making negative remarks against Savannah and why she didn’t offer a bigger reward initially or why she hasn’t been more vocal about her mom’s disappearance. I’m sure Savannah is only doing what the FBI are telling her to do because they know how kidnapping works better than Meghan Kelly!! You can see the pain all over Savannahs face and in her actions each time she’s come out with a video! I actually used to like and listen to Meghan Kelly when she was on FOX but I WONT LISTEN TO HER ANY MORE!! She’s lost any and all respect and admiration I HAD FOR HER!!

      Megyn Kelly is a friend of Savannah Guthrie and often covers true crime. She has been having experts on her show daily to discuss new details about the case. You shouldn't take this one headline to mean anything other than reporting the news and trying to keep the story alive.

        I also believe Savannah appears to be speaking to someone in particular. The local police refusing to use the FBI lab for DNA testing is a huge blunder.

    Megan Kelly really is digging her claws into Shavann and her family .She sure likes to act so high and mighty especially when she went in air to talk about the show Savannah did in Arizona about coming back to her hometown that featured her Mom and sister and how she shamed Savannah 's sister for be a poet and her husband being in a band compared to the occupations Savannah and her brother have. So she basically was saying musicians and poets are low life people.She is definitely airing out a personal vendetta she has against Savannah by trying to slander her .I would never listen to a evil person that Megan Kelly is.

      Well I feel like Nancy was mistakenly fool and like they said she opened her door not knowing what was going on and realized what was going on got scared tried to run to her phone then was beating a little bit that's where her blood comes from her fighting back the kidnappers tried to her down she did not listen instead they harmed Nancy and took her nothing was missing from the home but her so how can Savannah know she was taking from her bed after fbi said they knocked on the door and waited for a answer or ringing her doorbell waiting for her to come to the door then go on and say her mom was taken from her bed then offer a 1 million dollars I believe Savannah got tired of taking care of her mom and dealing with her health so to me yes I believe Savannah know who has her mom and where she is

    I think people should stop speculating about this horrible act and also about what Savannah knows or doesn"t know and just pray and hope for Nancy's safe return.

    I feel like it has to do with the family. I won't say names but I do feel that one of the kids appears to like expensive trips and things but doesn't have "expensive" money. Also that family member looks just exactly like some of the ex drug addicts I personally know. And usually, the last person to see the victim is usually.... Well .... You know.

    Before my parents were married, my mom was a Nancy - Nancy Guthrie. Our side of the Guthrie family is from West Virginia. Having traced my ancestry back to the 1600s, I’ve found some of them moved & settled in the West, like Oklahoma, etc. my mom passed away 2006 & is safe in Heaven. But due to the name, it hits me hard. I pray with all my soul Savannah’s Nancy Guthrie is soon found!!

    Megyn, you and everyone else need to stop speculating and tearing statements apart word by word. Right now, the public doesn't need to know everything the police have discovered.

    First and foremost I hope they find her I hope they find her well

    And believe there's a lot of aspects of this case that the public does not know

    I have not heard of any kind of a ransom other than hoaxters so I really don't know why they would take her

    But like I said there's a lot of information we the public do not know so I really cannot comment I cannot have an opinion other than ofhope they find this lady soon

      I am inclined to agree with you Megan Fox is an attractive girl. That's why she's on the TV.

      But the comments are cheap sensationalism and make no sense to second-guess what the Gunthrie families choices are is ridiculous. Who in the right mind would know what to do in these circumstances the authorities give you their best guess but they always write absolutely not. I think they're making the best choices they can given what they've got second-guessing them seems to me ridiculous Megan Kelly's position is to be suspicious of the Gunthrie family. is absurd I think it's an attempt to grab cheap headlines and to interject.

      Her south Megan Kelly into the fray

    Meghan has 0 credibility on anything. Her only redeeming quality is that Trump hates her.

      Kim

      Give me a break...Megyn Kelly often reports on true crime and she is a friend of Savannah's. Pls don't make this political.

      Unbelievable

      Trump and Megyn are friends now!

    Shame on you, Megyn.. why are you reading so much into the specific words Savannah is using?!?! She wants her mom back. That's the gist of her conversation doesn't matter if she was taken out of her bed her bedroom or the house she was asleep wole to someone in her bedroom, was taken and she's gone. Shame on you for tearing apart everything she says implying whatever it is you're even trying to imply. Their mom has been missing for weeks! Imagine the horror of somebody taking you from your room at night. Just think about that. A little compassion and understanding on your part would go a long way. You're certainly not helping.

    I believe it was an inside job. Somehow..

      Koolbreeze113064

      I agree. Now Savannah just made herself open to knowing more than she claims, how would she know that she was taken from her bed

      1. C

        Cynt1103

        Probably because she knows her mother is in her bed at 2 in the morning….

    There's a lot going on that we don't and won't know about.

    And I think we can all agree the it a recovery so now.

    Just stop this hatefulness!!! You have been horrible to the Guthrie family. I don’t understand people like you. If this happened to you, I assure you Savannah would not turn on you. I don’t know how you live with yourself!

  15. L

    laferguson27

    By her using the word recovery makes me think she isn't expecting to find her mother alive.

  16. L

    Linda

    Who cares where she was taken from.the fact is that nancy is missing and can't be found

    If it was my mother and I had that money it would have immediately been offered!! Someone knows and either way they would have her or I hope, or they wouldn't have. Prayers are lifted.

  19. A

    Who cares? I certainly hope she's returned safe and unharmed, but none of us would get 15 seconds of air time. It's overkill and favoritism. Just let us know when it's over.

    Savannah know where's her mom she couldn't and didn't want to continue taken care of her mom plus at the mother age and her being sick her medicine that she was taken all of the expensive of just helping her she didn't want to do it anymore you notice she really the only child being seen with her mom you don't see the other siblings being seen with there mom know where near as much as Savannah or speaking of their mother besides that one video so I guess they was to busy to help their mother and put the reponsebily on Savannah and she got tried of the expensive of her mom the traveling back and forth so yes she couldn't take it anymore and did what she did to her mom and the pictures she doesn't even look mad angry or upset she looks like she high and just lost like saying to herself what did I just do and the 1 million dollars reward is to keep her name clear or anything coming back to her and I won't say anything about you so it goes both ways
