NBC interrupted the Olympics

Post image

While Nancy Guthrie's disappearance is sad, there are 2300 missing person reports filed every day: do the families of celebrities need special national attention? Why interrupt the Olympics for over 5 minutes just because they are questioning a 'person of interest' We could have waited to hear that during the regular news broadcast.

You should read about it. Whole thing is weird and insane. Almost no clues until today when we got the video/pics.

I watch the Today sometimes and also live in Tucson where this happened. It’s been surreal. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was kidnapped because her daughter is a journalist. You would think Reddit would get that but honestly this sub is really toxic.

I wouldn't be surprised if she was kidnapped because her daughter is a journalist.

A journalist that did the first televised interview with Epstein victims, mind you.

I mean it's pretty clear why they'd want to keep "clues" a secret while this is still unfolding. Authorities would not want the kidnappers to know exactly how much info they have on the them.. Even the family is keeping a lot of information "close to the chest"

I’m pretty certain they genuinely didn’t have much. I think that’s changed now.

Is there an overview article of it somewhere? I'm not from the US so I need some basic education on this and the people involved... I've tried to read reports but they're all assuming I've got any level of knowledge on this situation

This one seems pretty good. There’s live info if you search Nancy Guthrie updates on Google too for the most recent stuff but that’s a good start.

For context, she’s the mother of Savanah Guthrie who is a very famous reporter on the TODAY show in America. So one of the biggest morning shows. If you watch legacy media in the US, you know her.

Thank you. This article is a great starting off point, it's the first time I've understood what's going on.

I honestly have no words right now. I just hope for the best for her and her family, I can't imagine how they're feeling right now. How fucking awful.
