Nancy Guthrie, the mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for nearly two weeks after seemingly being taken from her own home
The head of a anti-human trafficking & gang violence prevention organisation has shared their worries in the tragic case of missing Nancy Guthrie. The 84-year-old went missing from her home over a week ago.
Nancy is the daughter of journalist Savannah Guthrie, who has pleaded for her safe return. In an emotional video shared online, Savannah said: “I wanted to share my thoughts as we enter into another week in this nightmare. Thank you so much for the prayers and the love we have felt, my sister and brother and I.
“And that our mom has felt. She was taken and we don’t know where… We need your help. No matter where you are, even if you are from Tucson… We are at an hour of desperation.”
She added: “Because we believe that somehow, some way, she is feeling these prayers, and that God is lifting her in this moment and in this darkest place. We need your help, law enforcement is working round the clock tirelessly to try to find you.”
Robynne Jeisman, the founder of Turntable, a non-profit organisation working in anti-human trafficking & gang violence prevention, has now given their take on all that’s going on – as the mystery continues.
Multiple messages
Robynne expressed her worry over the multiple ransom messages. A number of notes have been sent to various media outlets.
“In my experience, multiple ransom messages means the kidnappers are not feeling heard, not getting what they want. Someone higher than them could be adding pressure (if there’s more than one person on the ransom request),” they told us.
“There can be multiple people involved in a gang or kidnapping (levels or tiers) so this can impact the demand, as people are people, and even in these situations, they may not be in full agreement.”
Impulsive
Discussing what signs show this could be either organised or impulsive, Robynne explained: “In my experience, there are two things to consider. The status , influence, power or wealth of the person the ransom is requested from.
“And who is the person who was abducted in relation to that person? They’re trying to send a message to the person or family they want the ransom from. It could also be send a message to the organisational company, for example.
“Trying to get power back whether that through a message or money, commonly the old saying ‘money talks’ it’s not even often about money, but about a justice or a message or a resolution within that perpetrators mind.”
Robynne added: “It’s multifaceted, every story is different, but the psychology of the scenario is imperative to get to the bottom of. Abductions are almost rarely impulsive, typically organised.”
Critical fear
Robynne explained that the primary concern now is Nancy’s wellbeing and also what the kidnappers might want.
“Most critical factor is Nancy Guthrie’s well being. Close second to that is determining what exactly do the kidnappers want, so we can get Nancy home safely. That’s the detectives job,” she said.
“When Nancy returns home, and I hope she will, the PTSD and extreme trauma she has been through – as well as the family – will require much therapy and support.”
She added: “The most critical factor is getting Nancy home safely. There will be many other factors that follow on from that.”
