Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch early on Sunday morning, providing another scary clue in the case involving the mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie.
Fox News was informed by law enforcement that the 84-year-old’s heart device stopped sending data to the watch at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. Investigators found that Guthrie’s Apple Watch was still in her house, which means that the devices stopped “syncing” when the pacemaker was out of Bluetooth range.
Apple Watches can connect to health devices like pacemakers, which lets people check their vital signs through Bluetooth. Pacemakers are devices that are surgically implanted to treat irregular heart rhythms by sending small electrical signals to the heart.
The Apple Watch data gives us a possible timeline for the kidnapping and makes the Daily Mail’s story about how Guthrie was dragged from her bed in the middle of the night even more disturbing.
Authorities say that Guthrie, whose daughter Savannah Guthrie is a host on the “Today” show, was last seen at her home on Saturday around 9:45 p.m.
Friends became worried after she didn’t show up to church on Sunday morning.
Chris Nanos, the sheriff of Pima County, told the Daily Mail that he thinks Guthrie was kidnapped. He also said that investigators found “concerning” evidence of foul play inside her home.
Sources also revealed that there was blood at the house and signs of forced entry.
Nanos said that Guthrie needs to take her medicine every day and that she could die if she doesn’t.
Fox News contributor and former FBI special agent Nicole Parker argued that Savannah Guthrie’s mother was likely abducted by someone with a “deep grievance” rather than a “stranger.”
Host Sean Hannity asked, “I know from discussions we’ve had on the air, off the air, over the years, that, you know, when you talk to victims, how hard this is. And I mean it when I say I’m praying for Savannah, her mother, I want her back. What frustrates me is why — and she deserves all the attention. I think the attention will help maybe solve this before something terrible would have happened. Why, though, do we have, in January, this year alone, you know, over 100 some odd shootings, 28 people murdered in Chicago, nobody knows any of their names? Why is it all the people we scroll on this program that have been murdered and raped and young children molested by illegal immigrants? That part of the story about ICE never gets told. And that part is frustrating to me, because I think every life matters. I think — I want Savannah’s mom back, I want — I don’t want kids in Chicago getting shot anymore. And I don’t want ICE agents being harassed, and I want them to continue the brave work they’re doing. Why the double standard?”
“I agree with you. I want Savannah Guthrie’s mother to be returned alive as well. And I do believe that all of the names that you scroll, those lives matter, Sean. They matter very, very much. And they may not be from famous families or famous talk show hosts, but you know what? They matter,” Parker argued.
Parker continued, “I do believe that the home itself is the crime scene. And that crime scene, there is something about it that is very strongly driving this investigation. Law enforcement has kept that quite confidential and quiet, but there is something that they have seen that is driving the sense of urgency of this, and we need her to be returned.”

“There is obviously a lot more to this investigation, and that they have to keep it confidential in order to not compromise it. But again, I do believe that there is someone with a very deep grievance. I do not believe that this individual, that she was abducted from her home — allegedly, they believe that she was abducted in her sleep — I don’t believe that it was by a stranger,” Parker said.
“I do believe that it was by someone who likely knows her, knows her very well, or knows the structure of the home very well, knows that she lived alone, had their eye on her, and knows the entry and exit points of the home, and is quite familiar,” the former FBI agent said.
“But again, we shall see what happens. But again, I think of my own parents. You know, they’re elderly individuals that live alone and they are vulnerable. And again, I think of someone being abducted from their home in the midst of their sleep. And what that takes me to is Elizabeth Smart. And she may have been 14 years old and this individual is 84 years old, but the fact that that could ever happen in our country is very chilling and alarming,” Parker concluded.
