30 Mar
Summary
- Grace's fiancé was murdered in 1979, sparking her advocacy.
- Savannah Guthrie's mother shared painful memories on a podcast.
- Grace defended her daughter against criticism regarding a disappearance.
Grace, 66, recently spoke about the profound emotional impact of her fiancé's 1979 murder, an event that propelled her into advocacy for crime victims. She revealed on a podcast that her daughter Savannah Guthrie's distress over her own mother's disappearance brought back the "horrible moments" of her past.
Grace defended Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, against public criticism regarding their response to the disappearance of Savannah's mother, Nancy. She stated that the family did everything they could, noting there is "no script" for such traumatic events and that Savannah did not pay a ransom without proof of life.
Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona, home, and a $1 million reward remains available for her recovery. The family, including Savannah, continues to seek answers about the disappearance, which occurred earlier this month. Police have not confirmed whether any ransom demands were met.
