She was close with her mom. This was not her fault. Elderly parents are free agents. Check the Eldercare board and you will see many of us have elders who want to age in place. Check yourself.


You’re projecting because you have a guilty conscience


Do you understand you cannot force your elderly parent to move when they are of sound mind. Look into the legality before you post.


Of sound mind but can't walk 50 yds alone?




Why is this difficult? Many elderly people have physical challenges but are still mentally sound.

Also to the people implying Savannah Guthrie shouldn’t have allowed her mom to live there, that’s where Savannah is from. It is her mother’s home and she has other family and friends in the area. It’s not like Savannah is the only family and abandoned her.


I meant she may be cognitively sound, but if she can't walk well and needs assistance to be mobile, then perhaps live-in help or assisted living facility is appropriate. We sometimes have to make difficult decisions regarding elderly parent care.


My mom lives in Tucson and certainly can’t walk 50 yards unassisted. She has a walker for longer walks like that. My siblings live within a mile or two. She also has an Apple Watch that alerts us if she falls and an Apple home thing she can use to alert us if she falls or needs help. She definitely doesn’t want to move. She comes to visit out here but not in the winter. You’re ridiculous to suggest someone needs to go into a home just because they can’t walk half a football field unassisted!


I stated OR live-in help. If you think not needed for a person in their 80s with very limited mobility, fine with me.


Why the heck would she need live in help? According to her Apple Watch, she averages 2000 steps a day around her house—she just can’t walk long distances due to the athritis. She cooks and cleans and does her laundry and takes her medication. She only needs help with certain things like some of the more complicated online accounts and of course she doesn’t drive. We used to have someone come in a couple times a eeek when my dad was alive but even then the lady ended up just sitting around with nothing really to do, irritating my mom.
It sounds like savannahs mom was totally capable of taking care of herself but maybe didn’t drive anymore and couldn’t walk a half football field. That doesn’t mean she needs round the clock care!


Your head is in the sand and you're spinning. The elderly person you describe should have full-time in-home care and/or live in very close proximity to immediate family. Everything is all good... until it's not. Like letting a senile person drive... until they cause a fatal accident.


My 98 year old mom lives in her own home, cooks for herself, and stopped driving just last fall. I do have a family member a few miles away and she has a cleaning lady who comes by once a week who will run errands for her or take her to Walmart. She has no health issues and still paints and walks around in her garden and weeds some almost every day. Don't assume all people are the same.


No one is assuming anything about all elderly people. My grandmothers lived alone into their 90s. On the other hand, my parents had heart issues and died in their very early 70s. Regardless, most people over 80 have greatly increased chances of dizziness, a fall, stroke, heart issue, cancer, etc. That's a fact.

On other forums they believe there must be a ransom - with that it mind, it fits the odd presentation of the news and how they are reporting things bit by bit but not enough to paint a full picture

There are plenty of evil people out in the world today.

I can’t even begin to imagine who would abduct ANYONE from their bed but I know that sick people exist.
*shudders

For the authorities to have hired Homicide on this case makes me think that it is possible that her family suspects they have an idea about who may be behind this.

If that is the case, I hope they find the person who did this.
Of course I mostly hope her mother is recovered alive and unscathed.

I’ve read in several reports that she has a pacemaker. Don’t those typically transmit data to an app etc? If so, seems they might be able to tell if she is alive or not? But I have no understanding if that is possible or how that works?

This is very sad as well as scary.

I cannot even imagine what poor Savannah is going through right now! 💔
I rarely hear about people being abducted in the night anymore, seemingly plucked right out of their bed.

I am hoping ➕ praying 🙏🏽 that her Mother is soon found safe and alive.

Sadly I just read that she needs to take prescription medication daily in order to survive which makes finding her right now vital.

I was thinking a stalker situation too. Ugh.

While that area is typically safe, it's also a corridor for trafficking.


So you think she was trafficked? GTFO.


The criminals involved in trafficking are not kind, peaceful folks. They would do anything for money.

Exactly

Savannah's sister took her out to dinner the night she went missing and dropped her back to her home around 9:30 pm.

Her church friends noticed her missing from church and called a family member.

The Mom had close by family for support.
