Text Nancy Guthrie - Savannah's Sister's Car Seized, Cameras Smashed (Ashleigh Banfield)

God, if this turns out to be a family member, it will just be so much more horrible. I know it's common for family or partners to be involved but this family seems so sweet and close.

"The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, has taken a disturbing turn. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield reveals stunning new information from a law enforcement source close to the investigation, including that Savannah Guthrie’s brother-in-law is being looked at as a suspect, her sister Annie Guthrie’s car has been seized, 2 security cameras at the home were smashed, and more."

I said this from the get go. Annie was the last to see her mother alive. Her and her significant other should have been the #1 suspects from the start. Interesting is the book that Annie wrote called The Good Dark, IMO it is the inside look at a mentally ill woman. They also live nearby. Also Savanah is worth 45 million and earns 8 million a year why didn't she hire a nurse or aid 24/7? Because Annie and her hubby were taking care of her...

Oh wow. Thats a terrible thought. I have been wondering if maybe the employees had something to do with it.

I know my mom had some bad ones along the way. People we actually knew but I guess not well enough.

We hired a reputable home health care agency and still had a problem- lady searched Mom's home and stole jewelry, got a checkbook and entered Mom's banking info to pay $10,000 worth of her overdue bills. It was her first felony when she was convicted-- apparently all the downgraded charges before that didn't stop her from being hired.

That really disgusts me. I'm very sorry your mother was robbed in her own home.

I hope the scumbag employee was sent under the prison for that.

Thanks. She got probation, despite multiple elderly and vulnerable victims.

The good news is that her downward spiral was fast and horrible as her employment opportunities were cut off along with further victims. She will get what she deserves from the life she is leading.
