Savannah Guthrie has opened up for the first time about her mother, Nancy Guthrie's abduction, in a tear-jerking interview with Hoda Kotb on TODAY.

In an excerpt from the upcoming interview, which aired on the show on March 25, Savannah told Hoda how she "wakes up every night" imagining the "terror" her mother went through.

"We are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable," she said through tears. "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."
