Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mom, Nancy, vanished from her home near Tucson on January 31st and was last seen alive that night. She was dragged away against her will the next day, February 1st, sparking a major search by the Pima County Sheriff's Department, a ransom note soon demanded $6 million in Bitcoin for her release. Security footage captured a masked and armed person outside Nancy's home that night, so police have not identified the suspect despite chasing. Several leads. Savannah asked for proof of life from the kidnapper, but got no response, and she's been off the today show ever since. Former today colleague Sarah Haynes, now at ABC, has been reaching out with prayers and love to Savannah and the team. Haynes, who overlapped with her at NBC years ago, calls it family and has used social media to boost awareness about the case. The ordeal hits hard for those close to Savannah, with Haynes hoping for quick answers and peace soon.
