WEBVTT - Kidnapping or Abduction

0:00:01.920 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>We're going to talk to somebody who just has a

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:05.760
<v Speaker 1>comment to make. And I thought it was really interesting,

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and I said, hey, can we put you on the

0:00:06.840 --> 0:00:09.039
<v Speaker 1>air to talk about this? So we've got somebody who

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.400
<v Speaker 1>wants to talk Paxton, who's got something everybody in the

0:00:12.400 --> 0:00:14.880
<v Speaker 1>world was talking about this weekend. There was the super Bowl,

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.400
<v Speaker 1>there was the Olympics, and then we're still talking about

0:00:17.440 --> 0:00:21.599
<v Speaker 1>Savannah Guthrie and Savannah Guthrie's mother, no sign of anything,

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:24.160
<v Speaker 1>and now they're basically pleading with the kidnappers to say

0:00:24.480 --> 0:00:28.640
<v Speaker 1>can you return her? And they've got, from what I

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>can tell, no leads. There's no anything that's making them

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>think that it was I think they're going back to

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.800
<v Speaker 1>reinvestigate one of the family members. But it's one of

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.280
<v Speaker 1>those things that kind of makes you think a little bit, Paxton,

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.080
<v Speaker 1>what did you want to bring up about it?

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:48.120
<v Speaker 2>So I don't know, and I don't really I don't

0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:49.680
<v Speaker 2>know why this is just kind of bothering me. But

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:54.120
<v Speaker 2>I don't understand why this particular disappearance has been getting

0:00:54.160 --> 0:01:00.160
<v Speaker 2>so much more attention than just regular disappearances. Like I

0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 2>do understand that this is awful, and she's what like

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 2>eighty four or something, and it's this is super unusual

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 2>and everything. But I don't know, I just feel like

0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 2>we are spending a lot more resources on this particular

0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:15.279
<v Speaker 2>disappearance when things like this happen all the time.

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>No, I think a lot of people have thought that too,

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.400
<v Speaker 1>And I think it is because, I mean, Savannah Guthrie

0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:26.800
<v Speaker 1>is you know, famous celebrity, and she's rich and famous.

0:01:26.840 --> 0:01:30.640
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, there's like more resources than if somebody else,

0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>like a normal, average person disappeared.

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean we totally think about that. Yeah, But

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, I will say she's eighty four

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>and not that somebody who's like, you know, twenty four,

0:01:44.600 --> 0:01:47.600
<v Speaker 1>is like, well, they're healthy, they can handle it. It's

0:01:47.680 --> 0:01:50.160
<v Speaker 1>not that I can't quite put my finger on it,

0:01:50.560 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>but it is just a different level of tragic and

0:01:53.720 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>awful that she's eighty four and probably dead without her medications.

0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 4>Well, I will also say nothing dark. Last week, little

0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 4>John the rapper, his son went missing, and I hadn't

0:02:04.080 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 4>heard about it for a while.

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.800
<v Speaker 1>I didn't cover that in this in the dirt. Actually, well, yeah.

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.040
<v Speaker 4>But it's not on the Today Show. We're not talking

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 4>about on the news. Yeah, I know, we've talked about it,

0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:11.880
<v Speaker 4>but I just barely heard about it. And then his

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:13.920
<v Speaker 4>son came up dead, found missing in a pond, and

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 4>that hasn't made mainstream coverage. Oh I didn't know that.

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they found out I think over the weekend.

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 2>I feel she's exactly what I'm talking about, even though

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 2>he is rich and famous as well, you know what

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I mean.

0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:25.760
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's true, because yeah, you would think, oh, it's

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 3>because she's rich and famous. There's a different a different

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.720
<v Speaker 3>story where he is rich and famous but didn't get

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:31.400
<v Speaker 3>the same coverage.

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Well you think go missing every day? Do you think

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:36.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a little bit because of how different this was.

0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>We hear about missing people often enough that we go

0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 1>hmmm uh huh, Yeah, that's terrible, which is sad, which

0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>is which is of course. But then when you hear

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:46.040
<v Speaker 1>about an eighty four year old woman disappearing that's going

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.639
<v Speaker 1>to die without her medication, it probably is dead already.

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>Who we said this all last week? Who does that?

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:51.640
<v Speaker 4>Right?

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>So what the public pays attention to, maybe that's what

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>law enforcement pays attention to.

0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.639
<v Speaker 3>I feel like it's also because it's kind of spooky,

0:03:00.720 --> 0:03:02.920
<v Speaker 3>Like the story is spooky because we don't know like

0:03:03.040 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 3>what happened that there's like blood, but we don't see

0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 3>like the ring cameras were shut off, and then we

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 3>don't hear anything except for this like weird little ransom

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.400
<v Speaker 3>note thing. And I think that's like gives it an

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 3>addition of like spookiness, which I hate to say, but

0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 3>it is kind of like an entertainment value to like

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 3>the masses where they're like, Ooh, this one's different. She's

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.080
<v Speaker 3>eighty four and she doesn't have her medications.

0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:26.600
<v Speaker 2>Agree with you, but I think I agree with you.

0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, And that's so I feel like that's another

0:03:29.160 --> 0:03:31.760
<v Speaker 3>reason why people care about this one more, you know,

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:33.399
<v Speaker 3>because it is kind of spooky.

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:35.760
<v Speaker 1>It is a little it is spooky, and I think

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>that because she was like an old lady should be

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>safe in her home playing you know, I don't know,

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>don't crossword puzzles and seduku and solitaire text messages. Packson says,

0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>why is Savanah Guthrie getting so much coverage when there's

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>so many other people, like average people? Yeah, I read

0:03:51.280 --> 0:03:53.400
<v Speaker 1>somewhere of like people in Arizona, Like in the last

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:55.320
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks alone, there've been like a seventeen year

0:03:55.320 --> 0:03:58.200
<v Speaker 1>old that's disappeared, and a twenty four year old has disappeared.

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.800
<v Speaker 1>At the time, text message says at KATWB one, I

0:04:02.840 --> 0:04:06.200
<v Speaker 1>absolutely could not agree more with Paxton on this one.

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Another one says, I think I think the son in

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.560
<v Speaker 1>law had something to do with it. They looked at

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>him and then they ruled him out, but then they

0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>don't have any other leads, so they went back to

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>the son in law. Another one says, it's Savannah's employer

0:04:19.200 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>that's talking about it so much. She's a celebrity, but

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>she works for NBC, so she is lucky to have

0:04:24.600 --> 0:04:25.640
<v Speaker 1>that as her employer.

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:27.520
<v Speaker 4>I guess the news thing is true, But like I said,

0:04:27.520 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 4>Lil John is a celebrity. I'm sure there's other celebrity.

0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:31.760
<v Speaker 4>I don't know that, but other celebrities who have had

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:33.680
<v Speaker 4>little situations like this, and we haven't had as much

0:04:33.760 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 4>national coverage, especially when respectfully, there hasn't been that many developments. Yeah,

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:40.400
<v Speaker 4>you know, we keep people like here's an update, but there.

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.760
<v Speaker 3>Is no update, right, So well, I think there has been.

0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:44.920
<v Speaker 3>And she said they're not actually giving us all those

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 3>details for the safety aspect, and like probably making sure

0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 3>that they don't reveal too much.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:51.839
<v Speaker 4>They don't have any other suspects though, So.

0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:53.480
<v Speaker 3>This text says, I think it's getting the coverage it's

0:04:53.480 --> 0:04:56.080
<v Speaker 3>getting because of the ransom. And that's why it's odd

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:59.480
<v Speaker 3>because of because not all disappearances have a ransom with it.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.480
<v Speaker 1>True, because this is more like a kidnapping, because like

0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>if you know, like your usual eighteen year old or

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty two year old disappears, it's an abduction, not a kidnapping,

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>because you don't really hear about kidnappings anymore. Most of

0:05:14.040 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 1>them they don't have any intention of giving anybody back.

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:20.080
<v Speaker 1>What's the difference once one's a ransom and one does not.

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:23.200
<v Speaker 1>So example, if somebody like I don't know, abducts their

0:05:23.440 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>child or abducts their acts or whatever, they want to

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>keep them. Like that dude in what was it in

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 1>Wisconsin five or eight years ago that took that fourteen

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.480
<v Speaker 1>year old eighteen year old girl, hit her under his

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 1>bed for eighty one days. There's a podcast called eighty

0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:41.080
<v Speaker 1>one days, you know what I'm talking about. No, he

0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.960
<v Speaker 1>didn't have any intention that he didn't have any intention

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>of giving her back. That's an abduction. But this was

0:05:46.680 --> 0:05:49.279
<v Speaker 1>like I'm keeping But that's why you don't hear about

0:05:49.320 --> 0:05:54.599
<v Speaker 1>kidnappings anymore because with so much high tech and cameras everywhere.

0:05:55.320 --> 0:05:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Let's say if I kidnapped Bailey and I wanted ransom

0:05:57.640 --> 0:05:59.840
<v Speaker 1>of like, you know, five dollars. Yeah, that's a lot,

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:01.600
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, okay, well, I'm gonna drop her off

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>at mom or Ronda's house in exchange for five dollars.

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.000
<v Speaker 1>Guess what the cops are going to be waiting there

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>for me. Yeah, exactly. It's not gonna work.

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 3>Back in the day, it would be less easy to do,

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 3>like LESSI to attract you.

0:06:11.960 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah right.

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Paxton, thanks for bringing it up. It's definitely a worthy,

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:16.600
<v Speaker 1>a worthy thing to bring up.

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 2>Sure, thanks so much.

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you bet, all right,
