And so I say with conviction, 'Happy Easter,'" she said in her closing message at the end of the Easter Sunday service at Good Shepherd New York. The NBC presenter, one of the most recognisable figures on morning television in the US, had temporarily stepped away from her anchoring duties after her mother's disappearance. She also stood down from NBC's coverage of the Winter Olympics.In an interview last month with Today, she said: "I can't not come back. This is my family."She also raised the possibility that her own fame may have been behind her mother's disappearance, saying that thought was too much to bear.Nancy Guthrie vanished without her medicines. She was dropped off at her home by relatives on the evening of 31 January and then failed to show up at a friend's house to watch a virtual Sunday service the following morning.The family announced in February a $1m reward for information leading to her return.Unanswered questions as search for Nancy Guthrie enters a new monthTearful Savannah Guthrie blames herself for mother's kidnappingSheri...
