Conservative podcaster Megyn Kelly reacted to Savannah Guthrie’s latest plea for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie. The Today host’s 84-year-old mother has been missing since February 1, and the law enforcement agencies have been investigating the case as a kidnapping. Meanwhile, Nancy Guthrie’s family posted several videos urging people to help find her.

On February 24, Savannah Guthrie announced a $1 million family reward in exchange for information leading to her mother’s recovery. On Friday, the media personality reshared a clip from her Tuesday plea video and reminded people that they could be anonymous while sharing tips.

Megyn Kelly, who has actively discussed the developments in the Nancy Guthrie case, discussed Savannah Guthrie’s latest video with former FBI agents Jim Fitzgerald and Maureen O’Connell. Kelly pointed out that Savannah Guthrie, in her first few videos, appeared without makeup and with puffy eyes. She suggested that the change might be a calculated move to deliver an impactful message.

“I think it’s somewhat of a sign of resilience that she managed to get any makeup on at all and her jacket on… I do think the puffy red eyes are an intentional choice because I’m sure they were authentic, and they could have been resolved had she really wanted to do that for a camera. But she probably made the choice to show people the pain she’s in,” Kelly stated.

The podcaster said that there was no downside in telegraphing her true emotions to the public and the suspected kidnapper. Megyn Kelly asked Jim Fitzgerald whether, in his opinion, the Today host’s appearance and the video’s style were premeditated and produced after consultation with the FBI.

The former FBI agent said that in his profiling career, he had advised people how to appear before cameras while putting on a message. Fitzgerald said that while he had personally never gotten into the makeup category, he opined that someone might have advised it.

“So yeah, this is well coordinated… I’m certainly assuming there are profilers, behavioralists on the scene, certainly in touch with the family. They’re talking to them. They’re helping them put the words together. They don’t want to offend the person. They don’t want to challenge the person.”

Megyn Kelly suspects that if Savannah Guthrie drops any major detail in her plea for Nancy Guthrie

In her latest video message, Savannah Guthrie said that 24 days had passed since Nancy Guthrie was “taken in the dark of night from her bed.” Megyn Kelly discussed the plea video in her Tuesday podcast and stressed the NBC host’s words. Kelly remarked that whether Savannah Guthrie intended to or not, she had made a “little news.”

Pointing to the “taken…from her bed” remark, Megyn Kelly suspected:

“No one has ever said that before. In fact, the sheriff said it early on and then took it back and said… But there it is, straight from Savannah Guthrie herself. That’s news.”

Many on the internet raised suspicions about Nancy Guthrie’s other daughter, Annie, and her husband, Tommaso, since they were the last people with whom she spent time before she went missing.

In her recent plea, Savannah Guthrie mentioned Annie when she said, “Hope against hope. As my sister says, ‘we are blowing on the embers of hope.’” Megyn Kelly frowned upon the mention of Annie in the message.

“Given all the focus on the sister and, more accurately, the sister’s husband. To me, that’s a way of endorsing the sister and reminding us they still believe in her and probably in Tommaso too. I don’t think you mentioned the sister unless you’re looking to rehabilitate them both,” Kelly said.

Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has cleared Nancy Guthrie’s family members as suspects in the case.
