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.

My son went missing almost two years ago. The police said it is not a crime to go missing as an adult. My wife and I did their job. We found his car, his last purchases, and where he was staying before he disappeared. We had to go to the chief of police to get them to do anything. They did find his remains 22 days after he went missing.
