Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today host Savannah, has been missing for over a month now.
But I want to take a second to talk about a guy named Dominic Evans.
You probably haven't heard of him.
He's a middle-aged elementary school teacher who, in his spare time,
plays drums in a band with one of Nancy Guthrie's sons-in-law.
Because of that connection, he ended up speaking to investigators in Arizona.
They did not arrest him.
But because of that connection,
he ended up becoming a prime suspect for amateur investigators who have descended on Tucson to create what some call content for their followers.
That content, at least for a while, ruined Dominic Evans's life.
He was scared to leave his house.
He feared for his kids' safety.
He told The New York Times, But they're innocent people that get hurt.
I'm Sean Ramesh for him.
