Nancy Guthrie: Savannah Said "I'm So Sorry, Mommy" — and Meant It

She looked into a camera and apologized to her own mother. Not for something she did — for who she is. Savannah Guthrie told Hoda Kotb, through tears, that she believes her fame may have brought a predator to Nancy's door. "To think that I brought this to her bedside — that it's because of me. I'm so sorry, Mommy."

That's a daughter carrying guilt no one should have to carry. And it came in the same interview where she revealed she believes two of the ransom notes her family received are real — the ones they responded to, the ones that contained details about Nancy's Apple Watch and a floodlight at the home. She separated those from the flood of fraudulent demands that poured in after Nancy vanished, including one from a man in California who was arrested for sending fake ransom texts after watching the case on television. But the notes Savannah believes in — the ones her family acted on — led nowhere. The Bitcoin wallet was never funded. Both deadlines passed. No proof of life came. The family begged publicly for a sign that Nancy was alive. Silence.

This week's look back at the most heartbreaking developments in Nancy's case also confronts a painful reality: the man running the investigation is fighting for his own survival. Sheriff Chris Nanos' deputies voted 241 to zero to demand his resignation after his concealed disciplinary history came to light. A former U.S. Surgeon General accused him of compromising the crime scene. The Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to put him under oath with removal on the line. A recall campaign is gathering signatures.

Nancy is 84. She has a fragile heart. She left that house without her medication, without her shoes, in the middle of the night. And the people who love her most are caught between grief and hope, between belief and evidence, between a system that's supposed to find answers and one that can't hold itself together long enough to deliver them.

Someone knows where she is.
