Sounds like the work of a Mexican cartel.

Ironic, a big leftist’s mother get kidnapped by illegals she cheered over the border.

Google AI FWIW

AI Overview
Tens of thousands of people are kidnapped or go missing in Mexico annually, with official figures often understating the crisis, as estimates suggest hundreds of thousands are missing, fueled by cartel activity and the drug war, though most victims are Mexican nationals, not tourists. While official numbers track over 110,000 missing persons, reports indicate the true number could be far higher, with kidnappings being a significant, ongoing problem, especially for migrants and locals, with some experts estimating thousands of U.S. citizens alone are kidnapped yearly.

Why is she any different than all the others who were raped or killed? They are preparing the News Cone of Silence for her.

It depends on the topic. But it does make mistakes. Kind of human of it. It's a dumb machine that only retrieves data available to it. Garbage in results in garbage out. 🤣👍

What is interesting is the speed at which it is able to process the data about a topic.

Ask it a simple question such as; Can a man gt pregnant and watch it dance in cricles trying to justify its affirmative reponse, by making another statement such as; Sciece claims that men cannot have babies, and then it jumps over to gender, if a woman thinks she is a mn, she can have a baby. Then ask it; So, you are admitting that only a biological woman cah ever have a baby? 🤣👍

It’s a well known fact that those who kidnap for ransom will either send their ransom demands to the money source associated with the kidnap victim or to TMZ.

99999 times out of 1000000 it’s the first option.

Why would they kidanap & 84 year old woman, for the money? They make a lot of money with drugs and other illicit activities that provide more money than does ransom.

TMZ is an odd organization. But their information is usually good.

Actually there are kidnappings in Southern US. Many are probably not publicized. Maybe they just thought it was an old woman that lived alone in a million dollar home, not knowing who her daughter is.

It’s sucking all the oxygen out of the room, leaving no room for the revelation about the Epstein files.

Savannah’s husband is a long time Clinton operative; great timing, eh?

If the mother has not been kidnapped, she is either offer her meds, wandering around confused, or perhaps dead. There are no good answers. I am sure this is horrible for Guthrie and her mother. Prayers for both of them.

I did have flashbacks to Sherri Pappini..heck anything is possible..her “kidnapping” looked legit too, from the cell phone and earbuds left behind on the sidewalk to a clump of her hair right next to her phone

Cartel is a generic term for organized crime in Mexico.

There is organized crime in Mexico and South America that specializes in kidnapping.

Could be some young bucks going rogue.

But it appears to me that whoever did the job, it was not there first rodeo.

It also appears that she was targeted and they posssesed a familiarity with the victim and the victim's house.

That could easily obtained by whatever workers may have visited the house who were a cousin or a girlfriend of one the kidnappers.

Mexico is big on kidnapping for a source of quick bucks.
That poor family must be suffering.
The elderly woman is probably dead by now, having gone without her medications.
