Savannah Guthrie

No, we didn't know about that.

And then to hear Savannah say she left the house without her purse, without her phone, without her shoes.

So, yeah, if you're thinking my mom left without her shoes and left all of her things, that would be something that would happen in a mad dash and a mad rush.

So that would be the most likely thing.

reason behind her disappearance.

You wouldn't immediately think my 84-year-old mom's been kidnapped by a masked man.

Savannah went, I think, much further than the authorities, the sheriff out there did in explaining just how unlikely it is that she wandered off.

You talked about the mailbox there, but I remember the sheriff very clearly when he came out.

This is a woman that's not very mobile.

Yeah, she doesn't get, I think they use the word, the distance of 50 yards at one time.

It's not very mobile.

Savannah was emphatic and very clear.

This is not a woman who can walk off anywhere by herself.

I didn't think the sheriff came out that strongly.

To hear Savannah say it, like,

Oh, hell yeah.

This woman is, she's been taken.

This woman can't go a few feet day in, day out.

And so, yes, once she got there and she said that, you know, they obviously knew that about their mom.

Then they saw the blood on the front doorstep.
