Support for Savannah Guthrie's Family

Before we say good night, some thoughts on our friend Savannah

Guthrie.

The last 54 days have been tough around here, but nothing like what

it's been for Savannah and her family.

Tonight we saw that raw emotion pour out in her conversation with

Hoda. If it was tough to watch, you're not alone.

It was tough for all of us, and even tougher for her.

You may have never met Savannah, but you feel for her because you

actually do know her. She's the same person in real life as she

is on

TV, and for years you've trusted her to tell

those stories

impacting America. And right now she's telling the hardest

story of

her life. And to be so open about her grief, her

fear, and her hope at such a vulnerable time

should remind

you why you've stayed with her for so long, and it's because she is just like

all of us. Many of you have sent me messages

or stopped me in the street to

say, "Please tell Savannah we are thinking of her." Savannah knows

there are armies of families praying and thinking about her mom, and

as you heard her say tonight, her faith is ever strong.

So we end tonight like we started this journey 54 days

ago. If you have any information, please, please

call the FBI tip line. The number's on your screen.

There are people working to take your call. There is a reward.

But most importantly, it is the right thing to do.
