Today show host Savannah Guthrie needs our help

Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie is living every family’s nightmare. Her mother, Nancy Guthrie, age 84, has vanished. This is not a routine missing senior case. When elderly people disappear, dementia or cognitive decline is usually the explanation. That is not the case here. Nancy Guthrie has no known mental impairment. She does, however, have mobility limitations and must take daily, life-sustaining medication. Time is already working against her.

The seriousness of this case cannot be overstated. The Pima County Sheriff has publicly stated that this is being treated as a criminal investigation, not a simple missing person report. Evidence has been located. Her residence is being processed as a crime scene. Those facts alone should trigger immediate concern.

Southern Arizona presents a harsh and dangerous reality. The Pima County area has long been a corridor for illegal border crossings, and residents have repeatedly been victimized by criminal aliens moving through the region. That reality cannot be ignored in any honest assessment of risk. At the same time, experience teaches a harder truth. When a person is murdered, the responsible party is most often someone close to the victim. Family members, caregivers, neighbors, and known associates must be examined first and either eliminated as suspects or brought squarely into focus. That is not speculation. That is how real investigations work.

The terrain only deepens the concern. Vast stretches of desert. Countless abandoned mine shafts. Places where evidence can be concealed forever. Every hour Nancy Guthrie remains missing reduces the likelihood of a positive outcome. This case is growing darker by the day.

As an Arizona-licensed private investigator, I am calling on my colleagues, particularly those working in and around Pima County, to pay close attention. This is not just another alert. This is a high-risk disappearance involving an elderly woman, critical medical needs, and clear indicators of foul play. Awareness, diligence, and immediate action matter now.

A 40 Caliber Nightmare Is Caught On Tape.

So you’re confident that that .40 caliber S&W service round will keep you safe. Maybe you’ll have second thoughts after you see this video. One hot summer night in 1994 Tempe and Mesa Arizona police were involved in a pursuit with this suspect who ran into a stranger’s apartment to hide after being shot TWICE in the chest. He was shirtless and you can see the blood pumping out of those two wounds. What’s really frightening is just how agile this fellow is as he struts to the ambulance. If he was not handcuffed and had a knife or a gun, ask yourself if he could still hurt you, your partner or a hostage? If your jurisdiction demands that officers carry either the 9MM or the .40 Caliber S&W it’s time to show this video to your bosses and lobby to have the .45 ACP round authorized. The switch may well reduce the screaming by self-appointed community activists about how many rounds police had to use on a suspect. The really talented and courageous video journalist, Karen Ke...

The origin of the feature film, COME FRIDAY…

CLick On the pictures to see full size versions. Long ago there was a young lady I had the hots for in a big way (Yes, I know that hots is not a word). She was pretty, incredibly bright, and had some real elegance about her. She had a love for children and basic kindness that you don’t often see in someone her age. I met her parents and could understand she came from a much more stable home than mine. I was raised by a single, welfare mom and suddenly found myself way out-classed. For whatever reasons things did not workout they way I had hoped. Sadly for me, we went on our separate ways. From time to time I’d run into this lady in various places where our job had taken us. Whenever this happened my heart would skip a beat or two. I left my hometown Chicago, and moved to Arizona where I founded my detective agency. As a private eye and soon a TV news producer too, my career took me to the highest profile criminal events in Arizona and throughout the country. There’s no question that ...

Tyranny, Government Corruption and Democide

Americans like to think they are exceptional. Yet most couldn’t tell you the first thing about how governments, like clockwork, repeat the same bloody cycles of tyranny and collapse. Everyone assumes the Nazis hold the crown for worst government in history. Sure, Hitler’s crew were sadistic thugs who industrialized murder. But “the worst”? Not even close. They just happened to do their killing during a time when cameras, film, and bureaucratic obsession with record-keeping made their atrocities impossible to hide. If Goebbels had been working with the technology of Genghis Khan, you’d barely have a postcard left to prove it. History is littered with tyrants who weren’t so kind as to leave photo albums of their mass murders. The Turks tried to erase the Armenians. Stalin starved Ukraine into submission during the Holodomor, then doubled down by purging his own people until the bodies stacked higher than Lenin’s promises. Mao made Stalin look like an amateur, turning his “Great Leap F...
