Federal and state law enforcement in Arizona are still looking for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie. There’s hope that a found glove may contain DNA from a potential suspect.

      Yeah, not to sound crass. Like I wish the best of luck in a safe return and all. But this is not something that the news should be fixating on and constantly spamming.

      There is way bigger shit going on right now.

      I don’t care at all but it’s been at the top of Google News headlines for weeks. I saw a story today with the headline that the police chief said someone somewhere knows the perpetrator. A completely worthless statement making headline news because the victim is white and related to someone on TV.

      I find it difficult to believe that this kidnapping is the only one in progress and also sufficiently more important (than the other kidnappings) to justify the additional news coverage.

      But, my heart does go out to her family and other loved ones.

      No. I may have limited bandwidth for this. But my heart goes out to her and her family… It’s something no one would want to imagine happening. Even if plenty others often go missing with a fraction of the visibility this case of getting.

        Yeah I mean, at the very least her family is going to be materially okay. I’d be more concerned about a family in Mexico that’s just struggling to scrape by and suddenly lost half their income and are about to be thrown into the street.

      Does anyone else just like…not care about this?

      If you see how common kidnapping for ransom is in some other countries, and that now it is appearing in a nation where it was rare before, that should be concerning to most.

      If the kidnappers are not found from this one, I would expect other copycats to start the same practice.
