6 Feb
Summary
- Abductor may have tested police response by disabling doorbell camera.
- Pacemaker app disconnected, suggesting victim was moved from home.
- Family received ransom notes and pleaded for mother's safe return.
Investigators are exploring a disturbing theory regarding the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie. The abductor may have tampered with the doorbell camera, disconnecting it at 1:47 AM on Sunday, possibly to gauge police reaction.
Approximately 25 minutes later, movement was detected near the home. Later, at 2:28 AM, the app connected to Ms. Guthrie's pacemaker was disconnected from her phone, suggesting she had been taken from her residence.
Savannah Guthrie, along with her siblings, has publicly appealed for their mother's safe return, stating they are ready to engage with those holding her. They shared an emotional plea on social media, expressing their deep concern and desire to hear from the abductors.
Ms. Guthrie was reported missing on Sunday after failing to appear at church. She requires daily medication and has significant health issues, including high blood pressure, a pacemaker, and heart problems. Despite an intensive search, authorities have not yet identified any suspects or persons of interest.
The Pima County Sheriff confirmed that DNA tests matched blood found on Ms. Guthrie's porch to her. The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery. President Trump has also directed federal authorities to assist in the investigation.
