The remark drew attention for a reason that had nothing to do with travel plans.…Open

A forensic psychologist who once helped talk O.J. Simpson into surrendering now says the ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance raise more questions than answers, and that the 84-year-old's case likely started as a break-in, not a kidnapping.

Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished in late January after doorbell camera footage captured a masked man at her front door. Two ransom notes followed within days, one sent to a local television station, the other to the Guthrie…Open

Six months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was forcibly taken from her Tucson-area home, Arizona's monsoon season may have shifted the desert landscape enough to unearth evidence, and investigators are back outside her door searching the brush.

No suspects have been arrested. Nancy Guthrie's fate,…Open
