The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie, has taken a disturbing turn as investigators analyze new evidence from her Tucson home. Authorities believe she was taken late at night after signs of forced entry were discovered, along with blood at the scene. Her phone and medications were left behind, and her pacemaker reportedly stopped syncing with her Apple Watch around 2 a.m., suggesting that may have been the moment she was abducted.
Experts say the break-in points to a planned crime rather than a voluntary departure. Investigators believe the suspect may have studied Nancy’s daily routine and vulnerability in advance. While a Bitcoin ransom message has surfaced, officials have not confirmed its authenticity.With no usable DNA recovered and missing camera footage, experts warn this may have been a calculated act — raising concerns that the motive could go beyond financial gain.
