Savannah Guthrie is thinking about quitting the Today Show, reports NewsNation. Gurthrie, who has been with NBC News since 2007 and became a permanent Today Show co-host in 2011, is not only dealing with the apparent abduction of her 84-year-old mother Nancy but, according to the report, the fear that her public profile and, more specifically, a November Today Show segment might have made her mother a target.

Savannah Guthrie gets top billing every weekday morning when the "Today" show introduces its cast. In an anguishing twist, the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother has made Guthrie herself the top story, too.
