Detective says revenge has not been ruled out in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie

Investigators searching for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie who vanished from her Tucson home on February 1, say they have not ruled out a revenge motive alongside possible financial motives. Pima County Sheriff’s Department official Chris Nanos said a ransom demand has not clarified the motive and dismissed the idea of a burglary gone wrong, citing doorbell footage of a masked, armed person apparently trying to disable security equipment. The FBI said a glove recovered near the home appears consistent with those worn by the suspect on video, and a DNA profile is being verified before potential comparison with the CODIS database; a $100,000 reward remains offered as tips continue to come in.

Measles outbreak: Six early warning signs in children and how to protect them

A measles outbreak is spreading through schools and a nursery in Enfield, north-east London, with more than 60 suspected cases and some children needing hospital care, especially unvaccinated under-10s. Doctors say early measles can resemble a cold—cough, fever, runny nose, and sore, watery eyes—but children often appear more unwell, with light sensitivity, a rising temperature over days, and reduced eating and drinking. Koplik spots in the mouth may appear before a rash that typically starts on the face and behind the ears around day four or five, then spreads downward. Parents are advised to seek urgent medical help for breathing difficulties, increasing drowsiness, persistent wheezing, or a fever that won’t settle; the best protection is two doses of the MMR vaccine.
