"There is no television program in the United States that is not talking about the disappearance in Tucson, Arizona of Nancy Guthrie the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, one of NBC's star journalists. Fox News has been leading its newscasts with her disappearance for a week now. Major American media outlets are providing extensive coverage and dedicating significant airtime to every tiny development in a case that broke on January 31."
"That day, Nancy Guthrie's children reported her missing when she failed to show up for a meeting with a friend to watch a church service on television. Even CNN has fully embraced the story, which has gripped a country where more than 100,000 disappearances are reported annually, according to the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs). Other public sources, such as the National Crime Information Center, put the number of missing persons as high as 600,000,"
U.S. outlets have given widespread, intensive coverage to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance after her children reported her missing on January 31. The case has elements that attract national attention: the alleged kidnapping of an elderly woman, high-profile family connections, pleading videos from relatives, and active online investigators and influencers near the scene. Nancy Guthrie requires daily medication, uses a hearing aid, and has a pacemaker that stopped sending signals. Some media outlets report alleged ransom notes and Bitcoin demands, but law enforcement is treating those claims with caution while the investigation continues.
