Savannah Guthrie’s sister, Annie, has just publicly shared a phone call with her mother

A wave of grief has swept the country after Annie, Savannah Guthrie’s sister, released what she says is their mother’s final phone call, made just days before Nancy Guthrie disappeared.

The call lasted only seven seconds. In it, their mother’s weak, strained voice manages to say just two words:

“Help… please.”

Annie said the brief message was all that mattered, leaving the family shattered. Investigators are analyzing the call for clues, while the Guthries hold onto the fragile hope that Nancy can still be found. Messages of support have poured in nationwide, describing the simplicity of the two words as “gut-wrenching” and powerful.
