Just before returning to Today on April 6, after nearly two months in Tucson awaiting word on her missing mom, Savannah described the frantic call from her sister, Annie, upon arriving at the home and not finding her mother there.
“She said, she’s gone,” Savannah told former colleague Hoda Kotb. “And we – she was in a panic. I was in a panic. I’m, like, call 911. She’s like, I did. We’ve called them. They’re here.”
“And the doors were propped open, and there was blood on the front doorstep, and the ring camera had been yanked off, and so we were saying, this is, this is not OK. This isn’t, something is very wrong here,” she continued.
As for the images of the masked man, the NBC personality confessed, “It’s just absolutely terrifying. It’s just totally terrifying. And I can’t imagine that that is who she saw standing over her bed. I can’t, that’s too much.”
