Blood was found on Nancy Guthrie's doorstep.

During Monday’s episode of TODAY With Jenna & Sheinelle, the co-hosts praised their friend as she made her return.

“It’s been beautiful here. It’s felt like a homecoming,” Sheinelle Jones shared.

“Savannah is back, and we have just embraced her with open arms. She said it is good to be home, and we feel that sentiment a million times over,” Jenna added.

“It’s so interesting because for most of us, we’ve been doing this for decades, so there’s muscle memory involved, but there’s also the reality of what’s happening,” the 47-year-old emphasized. “So I feel like for me, I’m like, you know what? I love her. She’s such a professional, but her heart is right there. We felt both this morning. We felt her heart, and also, she’s so darn good.”
