Savannah Guthrie was absent from the Wednesday, June 17 broadcast of Today.
Before viewers could speculate about her absence, Savannah's colleague Craig Melvinshared that she is "on assignment." Sheinelle Jones filled in for Savannah for the morning.
Savannah, 54, previously stepped away from Today back in February after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, went missing. Authorities believe that Nancy was abducted from her Arizona home in the middle of the night on Feb. 1. Despite receiving thousands of tips, a suspect has not yet been identified and Nancy's whereabouts are still unknown.
Savannah returned to Today in April. Prior to her return, she sat down with her colleague and dear friend Hoda Kotb to talk about her mom's disappearance. She also explained her decision to return to work, despite her mother's case being unsolved.
"I think it's part of my purpose right now. I want to smile. And when I do, it will be real. And my joy will be my protest. My joy will be my answer. And being there is joyful," Savannah told Kotb.
"I consider this my family, my greater family, and when times are hard, you want to be with your family and I want to be with my family. And so, I don't know if I can do it. I don't know if I'll belong anymore, but I would like to try," she added.
Since returning to Today two months ago, Savannah has continued to balance her on-air responsibilities with occasional absences as she does her best to manage her schedule amid ongoing personal challenges.
