Savannah Guthrie broke down in tears as she opened up about the "agony" she feels over mom Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping during her first interview since the 84-year-old disappeared from her Arizona home.

Savannah, 54, spoke to her former co-host Hoda Kotb in a pretaped interview for the "Today" show, which will air in full on March 26 and March 27. A short clip from the sit-down was aired by the NBC program on Wednesday, ahead of its broadcast later in the week.

In the preview clip, the on-air host, who has been absent from the morning show since her mother was reported missing on Feb. 1, could not hold back her emotions as she admitted to Hoda that she has been unable to sleep through the night since Nancy was taken from her home.

She added that she cannot stop thinking about the terror her mother must have felt when she was abducted—but said that she refuses to "hide" her pain from the world.

"Someone needs to do the right thing. We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable," she said.

"And to think of what she went through. I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night. And in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now."

The interview marks the first time that Savannah has discussed her mother's disappearance with a major news organization—however, she has shared multiple pleas for information about Nancy's kidnapping on her social media accounts.

On March 22—which marked the 50th day that her mother has been missing—she shared a post on Instagram in which she issued a message to those who live in Nancy's Arizona community, asking them to double down in their efforts to assist the investigation.

Nancy was first reported missing from her Tucson-area home on Feb. 1 after failing to show up to a friend's house, where she had been due to watch a livestreamed church service.

Residents of Nancy's community in the Catalina Foothills have since been asked to hand over any and all security camera footage that might have been recorded on the night of Jan. 31, as well as any pertinent clips taken in the days leading up to and the days following the grandmother's disappearance.

However, Savannah urged locals in her Instagram message to report any detail, no matter how small, that might help investigators in their search for her mother.

"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now," she wrote. "We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case."

Savannah highlighted a new date of interest in her mother's case, urging Tucson residents to bring forward any key memories from Jan. 31, Feb. 1, and Jan. 11.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos later revealed that Jan. 11 had been flagged to investigators by Google, the company behind Nancy's Nest doorbell camera, which recorded footage of a masked and armed intruder approaching the 84-year-old's home in the early hours of the morning on Feb. 1.

According to Nanos, Google had originally told investigators that the footage taken of the masked man outside of Nancy's home may have been captured on Jan. 11 and Feb. 1—but said that the media giant later walked back these comments.

"Google initially reported that date as a ‘possibility’ then later retracted the statement," he told NBC News host Liz Kreutz.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department, as well as the local FBI office, have made little headway in identifying the man captured in the video footage, revealing just a few details about his appearance.

In a post shared to the FBI Phoenix X account on Feb. 12, the agency highlighted several "identifying details" about the person in the sinister footage.

"New identifying details about the suspect in the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division," the post reads.

"The suspect is described as a male, approximately 5’9” - 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack."

However, since then, scant details have been shared about the suspect, although one of Nancy's neighbors has come forward to report a sighting of a "strange" man in their community around three weeks before the 84-year-old disappeared.

Savannah is understood to have flown to Arizona from her home in New York immediately after learning of her mother's disappearance—and she remained in the Tucson area until early March, when she returned to the Big Apple.

At the time, she was pictured visiting her "Today" colleagues at the show's Manhattan studio, before making her way back to the Brooklyn townhouse she shares with her husband, Mike Feldman, and their two children, son Charley and daughter Vale.

According to CNN, she told her colleagues that she was weighing up how to return to her on-air career, saying: "I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family. And, I would like to try."

An NBC spokesperson later confirmed that Savannah does intend to return to the "Today" show, but noted that no timeline has been put in place.

"Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her 'Today' colleagues," the spokesperson said. "While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home."

After Savannah's visit to the "Today" studio on Thursday, her colleague, Jenna Bush Hager, opened up about her desire to return to the show, telling viewers: "She said that she has the intention to return to the show, even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it’s also her home and where she feels so loved."

Sheinelle Jones added: "We're not out of the storm, but there’s a light somewhere even in the midst of the storm. I think her coming here and just being able to be with us, and for us to be able to hug her, I think it’s a step."

What is the full timeline of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance?

Nanos noted during a media briefing on Feb. 5 that, while times are approximate, his team has pieced together several pieces of evidence that indicate Nancy's movements—and the timeline of her apparent abduction.

Nancy was reported missing at around 12 p.m. local time on Feb. 1, around 14 hours after she was dropped off at the property following a family dinner. When she failed to turn up at her usual church gathering on Sunday, her friends alerted her family, who found her home was empty.
