A Week Gone: TMZs Harvey Levin on Why Nancy Guthrie May Have Been Targeted [KGQiDBbhQO5]
It’s been a week since NBC “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother Nancy was abducted from her home near Tucson, Arizona, sending authorities into a frantic search for the 84-year-old woman who they say needs daily medication to survive. In the ensuing days, two notes have been sent to media outlets. The first was sent to several outlets, both local and national, including TMZ; the second appears to have been sent exclusively to local TV station KOLD. Authorities have not confirmed the notes’ legitimacy, but Savannah Guthrie and her siblings were sufficiently concerned by the first that they recorded a message to their mother’s captors, asking for proof of life and for patience as they worked to comply with the captors’ demands. The second note, which KOLD says was shorter than the first ransom note, may have been a response to that video. TMZ’s Harvey Levin joins Michael Smerconish to discuss what he saw in the note and offers insight into why the captors may have targeted someone like Nancy Guthrie.
