A Grisly Start: The Case Unfolds

Good news everyone! It seems like the 21st century is still plagued by primitive crimes like kidnapping. As a professor of things I can tell you this isn't the technological singularity we were promised. Some nincompoop according to reports abducted the elderly mother of some TV personality named Savannah Guthrie. Apparently this Nancy Guthrie was snatched right out of her Arizona home. I haven't been this concerned about an abduction since Nibbler pulled me into his shadow!

CCTV Shenanigans: Masked Man on Camera

Now the authorities bless their pea sized brains released some video footage. It shows a figure in a ski mask fiddling with a doorbell camera. The low tech solution of obscuring the camera with foliage. Honestly you would think kidnappers would have better equipment these days. Where are the invisibility cloaks and freeze rays? This is just embarrassing. Speaking of advanced technology. One might think about the Yabba Dabba Doo China and India Make Nice with AI and how these technologies could be used to improve the speed with which these criminals are apprehended!

Bloodstains and Pacemakers: Things Take a Dark Turn

Oh dear it seems the situation has taken a turn for the worse. They found blood. Nancy's blood to be exact. And her pacemaker disconnected? This is all starting to sound rather grim. As I always say "I don't like the look of this!" It's times like these I wish I had invented the Smell O Scope then we could track her down by scent. Alas it's still in the prototype phase perpetually.

A Breakthrough? An Arrest is Made

Huzzah! It seems a breakthrough has occurred. They've arrested someone! Apparently this happened during a routine traffic stop which just goes to show you should always obey the traffic laws even when you're a nefarious kidnapper. Though I bet the suspect is saying "Sweet zombie Jesus!" right about now.

Ransom Notes and Presidential Addresses: The Nation Watches

Of course no high profile kidnapping is complete without ransom notes and presidential statements. The White House has weighed in urging anyone with information to come forward. I suppose it's reassuring to know that even in the face of global crises and bureaucratic ineptitude there's time to comment on a kidnapping case. As I always say "When will they ever learn?"

The Plea from the Family: A Mother's Fate Hangs in the Balance

Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have made heartfelt pleas for their mother's safe return. One can only imagine the anguish they must be experiencing. It reminds me of the time Fry went missing and I thought I'd lost my only delivery boy. Though in this case the stakes are considerably higher. Let's hope this Nancy Guthrie returns home safe and sound. And remember my friends "Nobody's useless."
