It's April 29th. Welcome to Entertainment and Celebrity News today, powered by AI and packed with headlines. Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mom of today's show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for nearly three months since someone took her from. Her Tucson Arizona home in the early hours of February 1st, cops release doorbell footage of a masked person, but no one's been named as a suspect yet. A former FBI assistant director, John Miller, drops some insight on a new podcast called The Fairfax Files. He says the kidnapper is probably right there in Tucson, someone local who knew Nancy lived alone and was vulnerable, making her an easy target. Miller points out that in most kidnapping cases, the bad guy has some tie to the victim, like a former worker, family friend, or someone who's been. Around the property. The family seems to buy into this idea too, keeping the focus on the neighborhood. Investigators got a ransom no early on, sent to outlets like TMZ, demanding millions in

Bitcoin with a wallet link. The crooks figured they could go digital, skip any risky drop-off, and cash in big without showing their face. Sounds like this plot went south fast, turning into a kidnapping gone wrong, which explains why no ransom got paid. The search rolls on, zeroed in on those local leads.
