Nancy Guthrie's family members have been cleared as suspects as search for missing mom continues, sheriff says - CBS News
Acidly: Nancy Guthrie, 84, and mother of Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her Tucson home, leading authorities to search high and low.

Meanwhile, Savannah channels her inner Lifetime movie, begging the abductor to "do the right thing." Apparently, moral integrity is still alive in 2023. High-tech tools, like a "signal sniffer," are in use, searching for Guthrie's pacemaker signals—because nothing says “hope” like a helicopter scouring Walmart trails.
