In the middle of the night, Saskia awoke in a haze. Her husband Mike was on his laptop. What was on his screen would change Saskia's life forever. I said, I need you to tell me exactly what you're doing. And immediately, the mask came off. You're supposed to be safe.

T.J. Holmes 2:21
Hey there, folks. It is Tuesday, February 3rd, and developments overnight in the search for Today Show host Savannah Guthrie's missing mother. The sheriff now says he believes she was abducted. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. This was kind of a fast-moving, fast-developing story yesterday. And late last night, the sheriff finally come out. Look, he was using words like crime scene, grave concern. Abduction is now coming out of his mouth.
Unknown 2:50
Yeah, and just you and I both looked at each other and thought, what the hell? This woman is dropped off, this 84-year-old woman, by her family just before 10 p.m. on Saturday night. And she is abducted in the overnight hours in her own home and is nowhere to be found. And whatever was left behind... was obvious enough for police to immediately, pretty much immediately, call her home a crime scene. That is beyond bizarre and puzzling and deeply concerning.
T.J. Holmes 3:25
All right, let's tell you where we are right now in this investigation. Again, fast-moving story. You just mentioned Ropes. This was Saturday night, the last time anybody saw her. She didn't show up for church on Sunday, and that's when calls of concern started coming in, and police were called immediately. about a missing person now missing person immediately and pretty quickly like you said robes went from missing person to a crime now they're not just out there with volunteers and search dogs and drones walking through fields randomly like they were this was not a dementia situation he has from this first the outset he wants everybody to understand this woman is sharp as she can be he keeps using the quote sharp as a tack
T.J. Holmes 4:01
She did not wander off. This is not a situation. And Robes, they're saying the family is telling us just how limited she is in mobility. It's virtually impossible for her to just have walked out on her own.
Unknown 4:16
Yes. So that has been completely ruled out. And yes, the sheriff said, quote, I believe she was abducted. She didn't walk from there. She didn't go willingly. And we heard the sheriff add earlier that she couldn't walk 50 yards. So she couldn't have left her home on her own.
