As the desperate search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother approaches a full six weeks, chilling footage of the bedroom where Nancy Guthrie was likely kidnapped has resurfaced.
The clip, which originally aired on the Today show in 2013, was unearthed by Megyn Kelly and shared to YouTube on Wednesday.
Nancy, then 71, is pictured teaching her famous daughter and Savannah’s Today colleague how to properly make their bed each morning.
“Well, I think everyone needs to know how to make their bed,” Nancy said in this segment. The segment was filmed around 3 a.m. local time in the bedroom of his $1 million home in Tucson, Arizona.
“So when it came time to teach[Savannah and her siblings]how to make a bed, this is what I tried to teach them,” she added.
After joking that all three of her children think making a bed is a “really worthless skill,” Nancy walked Savannah and her “Today” co-hosts Al Roker and Natalie Morales through the process.
“I’m going to teach you a skill! Being awake at this hour is called a nap,” Savannah later joked before Nancy agreed. “I love you, Mom.”
But Kelly pointed to how Nancy’s suspected kidnappers may have used Today’s footage of Savannah’s mother’s bedroom to kidnap the 84-year-old from her home.
“So what’s interesting about this clip is you can see where she slept every night,” Kelly, 55, explained. “And you can see exactly what this kidnapper must have gotten into.”
“I mean, what mom would radically remodel her bedroom when she’s in her 80s or 70s? I mean, that was 13 years ago?” she continued.
The “Mygyn Kelly Today” host also suggested that the alleged ransom note from earlier in the investigation may have been fabricated using resurfaced “Today” clips.
“Early in the Nancy Guthrie case, we had a note from the kidnapper claiming he knew exactly where she kept her Apple Watch,” she explained. “And they were describing something inside Nancy’s bedroom. Did the people behind that note see this part?”
Nancy was last seen on the night of January 31st, but was first reported missing from her home in Tucson on February 1st.
Investigators released photos and videos of unknown individuals breaking into Nancy’s home the night she was last seen, and Nancy’s neighbors reported an internet outage shortly before Savannah’s mother went missing.
Savannah, 54, and her siblings, Annie and Camron, have posted several heartbreaking videos on social media in the weeks since their mother was taken, including pleading with her suspected kidnappers to “do the right thing.”
The journalist said in her most recent video, shared on February 24, that she and her family have accepted that Nancy may be “already gone.” They also offered a $1 million reward for Nancy’s “miraculous” return.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, who has been leading the investigation into Savannah’s mother’s disappearance, told NBC News on Thursday that he and his team believe Nancy’s kidnappers may strike again.
Savannah took a leave of absence from “Today” as the frantic search for her mother continues.
But she emotionally returned to the show’s set on March 5 for a brief reunion with her NBC colleagues.
