Nancy Guthrie was living alone in her Tucson home when she was apparently taken on the night of Jan. 31. The 84-year-old, who is “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, was reported missing the following day, and investigators found signs of forced entry and her blood on the front porch. She remains missing as of Feb. 18.
The case of Guthrie—the kidnapping of an elderly individual—is rare, but she is a part of a demographic shift reshaping American households.
