Pacemaker Logged Off, Doorbell Quit, Mom Missing: Tech Support Needed ASAP
KEY POINTS
- •Nancy Guthrie disappeared at her Catalina Foothills home; family dropped her there Sunday night.
- •Pima County Sheriff and FBI revealed timeline details including doorbell and pacemaker disconnects early Monday.
- •FBI offered a $50,000 reward and arrested an impostor ransom note sender; family awaits proof of life.
In a real-life episode of 'CSI: Catalina Foothills,' Nancy Guthrie, 84 and famously mother of TODAY's Savannah Guthrie, vanished under a timeline that reads like a glitchy spy movie. Dropped off Sunday night, her garage door politely opened at 9:48pm. Then her video doorbell decided one public holiday was enough and disconnected at 1:47am. Motion got blurry at 2:12am, and her pacemaker pulled a Houdini routine by disconnecting from the phone at 2:28am. Blood on the porch matched Nancy, FBI slapped a $50,000 bounty on the mystery, and an impostor birthday-card-level ransom note sender got arrested. Meanwhile, Trump promised federal backup via 'Truth Social' because nothing says safety like tweeting your plans. Family's waiting for proof of life while Facebook rumors entertain the internet—Sheriff pleads for less social media chaos and more tips. Nancy’s car got CSI treatment; forced entry? Cops won’t say. The scene is still a locked mystery; home security, however, apparently has trust issues.

When your pacemaker decides to exit the party at 2:28am, doorbell drops mic, and your 84-year-old mom goes MIA with a side of fake ransom notes, you know the true villain here is 21st century technology failing you harder than your aging pet rock collection.
The only thing more disconnected than Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker is the internet’s collective sense of fact-checking right now.
How's this for a plot twist? Mom vanishes, pacemaker ghost texts the phone, and ransom notes are written by someone who probably flunked creative writing.
