Kidnappings for ransom are relatively rare in the U.S. The numbers are not tracked by the Justice Department, but the Guthrie case has brought attention to the matter. A network of families that has helped scientists understand Alzheimer's disease is facing an uncertain future. NPR's John Hamilton explains.
The families carry very rare gene mutations that cause Alzheimer's to appear in middle age. For nearly two decades, the National Institutes of Health has funded research on these families through a group called the Dominantly Inherited Alzheimer's Network. Dr. Tammy Benzinger of WashU Medicine says it's unclear whether that will continue amid cuts in research by the Trump administration.
The network that's been built up, without funding, all of that would fall apart.
In 2025, the NIH rejected a grant application that would have brought about $13 million in the first year. Instead, the network got about $8 million and no money for international sites, which account for about half of its families. The current funding is scheduled to run out on June 30th.
