Savannah Guthrie’s mother missing

[AnnaS]

Last person to see her, family, workers are always investigated to eliminate them. Of course it is possible it's random and not targeted.

I watch way too many episodes of 20/20, Dateline, etc. I hope it's not someone in the family and I hope she is found alive. I feel the longer time passes, it might not have a positive outcome. I can't imagine what the family is going through/I pray for her safe return.

Someone else mentioned that too up-thread. It happens. Sometimes we don't know where info originally came from, and it sounds like it might be real.

The only original sources I found were the Enquirer & Ashley Banfield on her podcast. Not credible sources IMO. No serious news sources have reported it. No person of interest has been identified by law enforcement. Speculation like that can ruin innocent people’s lives.

I apologize - I posted about the BIL and the ransom note(s). I thought I saw a reputable source post it, but I see now that this isn't the case.

And I’m sorry, I don’t mean to come off snarky about it. It just really bothers me how innocent people can be affected.

I understand - I try to be more careful about stuff like that, but blew it this time.

This story breaks my heart. My mom lives alone and is the same age. I pray she Nancy is found alive. I can't imagine how the family is able to function right now.

It’s been so many days now without her medication. She may not be able to hold on much longer, if she is still alive. This is so horrible.

I think all of us are thinking about our moms right now and the unimaginable horror Savannah and family are going through.

Sadly, I don't think there is any chance that she is still alive. For what purpose would someone keep her alive?

Without knowing exactly what meds she’s on, it’s hard to say what effect not having them will have. Blood pressure meds have been mentioned. Certainly not taking them increases risks for complications & other things, like strokes or kidney disease. Not taking them for a week will be risky, but not necessarily quickly fatal. Even being without some cardiac meds isn’t an instantaneous death sentence but can leave her at risk. An insulin dependent diabetic is certainly at more imminent danger without it.

An 84 yo being somehow physically assaulted & put thru this trauma would be lucky to survive, even if she had her meds with her.

I agree, although it was her blood on the porch that led me this way. It seemed like what would happen when dragging a body out of a house (it would scratch up on cement and leave a tiny blood trail even if the blood in the body was no longer flowing and a perp wouldn't think of this, b/c he/she'd just assume a dead body can't really bleed). Thus, why there's found blood on the porch and nowhere else (and yes, I'm assuming fresh blood, not years old blood, for this thought).

I mean, she also could have pricked a finger gardening...but...

Today’s message from SG was obviously speaking in some sort of code I felt. I feel like her mom has passed and they are willing to pay for her body to be returned.
The whole thing honestly is bizarre.

Yes, so so incredibly sad. Honestly, I almost hope, for Savannahs sake it turns out to be someone close to them and not just some nut job who targeted her due to who her daughter is. So extremely sad.

They received another ransom note yesterday or some time earlier. The original ransom note gave two deadlines. One had passed already at 5pm. I forget which day, as this has dragged on so many days. And they gave a second deadline, for some 5-6 days later. Yet, they never mentioned how the family is supposed to get in touch with them. Or WHY there is a second deadline. And why so many days later.

Savannah asked for proof of life and was never given it. Yet, they received that second note. The contents are still undisclosed to the public, I believe.

So, Savannah is speaking directly to the abductor(s) according to what is in that second note.

Various former FBI profilers who have been interviewed on different news channels, but are not directly involved with the case, just going on what has been publicly released by the sheriff, find this all very odd, as none of this is following any previous, "normal" kidnapping and demands for money.

I'm wondering if it was someone the Uber driver had talked to. The driver drove the mom to Savannah's sister's house that night. They might have had a little chat on the way over and that's when she casually mentioned she's Savannah's mom. He mentioned it to someone else in passing, and unbeknownst to him, that person hatched a plan, or mentioned it someone else who hatched the plan. The sheriff had even said, as they have no suspects at the moment, everyone is still a suspect, including the Uber driver.

One of the former FBI profilers interviewed on the news said, the way the original note was sent to 2 local news stations, seems to suggest they chose those little stations because they know of them. They likely weren't randomly chosen. It wasn't until the stations didn't advertise the note, (which was under the instruction of the sheriff, whom they turned the note over to,) that the abductors then sent the note nationally to TMZ, (who also contacted the sheriff about the note.) But, they blabbed about it before the sheriff got in touch with them.
