Michael Feldman has spoken out after the ‘Today’ co-anchor’s mother, 84, went missing.
Savannah Guthrie‘s husband, Michael Feldman, broke his silence in the wake of the Today co-anchor’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, being abducted from her Tucson, Ariz., home.
On Tuesday, Feb. 3, Page Six published an interview with Feldman, who told the outlet that he didn’t “have anything new to report” regarding Nancy’s missing case.
Feldman—a communications consultant, public relations professional, and former Democratic political aide—added that he’s “just being responsive” as detectives do everything in their power to locate Savannah’s mother. He admitted, however, that he feels “mostly unhelpful.” Additionally, Feldman shared his appreciation for the media’s “thoughtfulness.”
On Feb. 1, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) launched a search for Nancy. The department described her as a “vulnerable adult” who was last seen at her home on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 31. The PCSD declared her Tucson home a crime scene on Feb. 2—revealing later that day that Nancy was “taken” from her residence “against her will,” in the middle of the night.
By Feb. 3, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times that blood and signs of forced entry were both discovered at Nancy’s home. DNA testing of evidence from the crime scene, however, could still take several more days. Additionally, Nancy’s pacemaker reportedly stopped syncing to her Apple Watch at about 2 a.m. local time on Feb. 1.
When asked if he knew if Nancy’s abduction was a targeted or a random attack, Prima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a news conference on Tuesday, “We’re looking at all the leads. We don’t know. We are going to assume both sides of that. We are looking at both sides of that.”
Also on Feb. 3, TMZ posted via Instagram that it “received an unverified ransom note today demanding a substantial amount for the return of Today anchor Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy.” The outlet added, “We have since contacted law enforcement.”
Savannah and Feldman have been married since March 2014 and share two children, Vale, 11, and Charley, 9. Before Feldman, Savannah was married to BBC journalist Mark Orchard from 2005 to 2009.
