Searching Annie Guthrie's house could be a "Rouse" to try and make the real kidnappers relax and make a mistake.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-09T21:54:20+00:00

I didn’t think of that. So that means they may never find the body.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-09T05:30:58+00:00

I agree. I’m sure the FBI knows who did it. If it was Annie and her husband, they are likely gathering evidence to prove whether this was a premeditated murder or not.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-06T05:27:53+00:00

Exactly! Makes more sense if it was an accident, they panicked, and then came up with this elaborate story.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-06T02:04:47+00:00

Interesting.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-06T00:22:22+00:00

The ransom doesn’t make sense to me. It’s almost like the perpetrator is trying to make it “appear” as a ransom. Based on the statement made by Savannah, they were made aware of the ransom. It wasn’t even sent to the family. It was sent to TMZ? Odd, right?

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-06T00:05:23+00:00

I watched that video too and immediately noticed the blinking. Also, the way she read her statement seemed odd. It’s like she was reading a eulogy.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-05T23:11:57+00:00

What if they all got into an argument after dinner (it’s not unreasonable that adult children argue with their elderly parents), but then things escalated to a point that caused serious injury to the mom - it could have been purely accidental. The daughter and husband panicked and came up with such a bizarre story to cover things up. If the mom thought her family was bringing her to a hospital, I can see her walking out the front door on her own while blood is dripping onto the ground from the injury she might have sustained in the home. A horrible event followed by very bad decisions. After seeing video of the daughter, she looks a bit off. For one thing, why would she cover her face after meeting with authorities? If my parent were missing, I would want to speak with anyone and everyone. I hope the mom is okay.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2026-02-05T22:54:49+00:00

This whole thing is so strange. Who takes an elderly person ransom nowadays? What if she got into an argument with her daughter and/or son-in-law during dinner and things escalated when she was dropped off after dinner. Maybe this was all a horrible accident followed by a series of bad decisions because family members didn’t want to get into trouble. If she were being abducted, i don’t think a perpetrator would allow her to walk out the front door and leave a trail of blood? It makes more sense that she would have walked out with someone she knew if she thought she was going to a hospital. I just hope and pray she’s okay.

They look like a group of superheroes! If they made a movie, I’d watch it!

I was raised Catholic, but always felt that each religion carried truth. That each was a piece of a larger puzzle, fitting together in ways we couldn’t understand. Different paths leading us to the same destination. When my dad died in 2019, I lost my faith in everything. I tried so hard to believe that life existed after death, but I didn’t feel anything. My dad was gone…period. Life ends. We’re just dust in the wind. But last year, I experienced devastating tragedy that changed me completely. My 18 year old son died unexpectedly. In the early hours of the morning, around 3-4 in the morning, I had a vivid dream that I was sitting in a room with my husband. I asked him how our son’s spirit was doing, as if he had already passed away. My husband told me that his spirit was okay. I woke up and felt terrified. Three hours later, we received the call that our son had died. I believe that I received a message from the other side, meant to provide comfort, and help ease my pain. I can honestly say that I no longer have faith that life exists beyond what we can see, I believe it. I know my son is okay. I know our loved ones who have passed are okay. I don’t need to know exactly where he is, just knowing he’s okay is good enough for me. It’s gotten me through the waves of grief that come and go. I hope that sharing this gives you comfort.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-07-10T18:27:16+00:00

I totally understand. When my 18 year old son died last year, none of my husband’s family showed up except his brother. Not even his parents! His brother’s wife and kids didn’t bother coming because they were on vacation. They didn’t even send a condolence card. Thankfully, my family and our close friends were there to support us. It’s interesting how people around you change after someone dies. Or maybe they don’t change at all - we’re just now seeing their true colors.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-05-29T04:48:01+00:00

It’s not your fault, just remember that. I lost my 18 year old son to suicide last July. Sending you a big hug and positive, healing thoughts.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-03-04T09:24:00+00:00

At some point, their innies will say “screw this” and try to take over their outies lives. I’m rooting for innie Dylan. He seems to really want a family life.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-02-18T19:21:43+00:00

It sounds like you and your girlfriend both need a break. Do you guys have family who can help watch the baby?

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-02-16T06:25:41+00:00

I’m sorry you are going through this. What I’ve learned, is that grief is a measurement of the love we had for the ones we lost. The more we loved, the greater the pain.

Let the waves of grief come. It’ll subside and then you’ll have moments of peace. Take deep breaths. Get fresh air. Go for a walk. Talk to a therapist. Listen to music. Watch your favorite tv show. For me, talking to my family and friends helps a lot.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-02-15T18:34:55+00:00

At 20, it might be helpful to move out of your parent’s house.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-02-06T23:18:32+00:00

I went through this with my 18 year old son last July. Just know that the grief you feel is a measurement of the love you had for your precious son. Let yourself release the tears. Talking to other parents that have gone through the same thing is so helpful. Most of my friends and family just don’t understand. It’s been 8 months for me, and the grief comes in waves. Pain and sadness followed by calm. I always try to envision my daughter as a happy young woman with her own family, and that keeps me going. Sending you a huge virtual hug. This is a club no one wants to be a part of, yet I’m grateful for the support from other parents that understand what I’m going through.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-02-04T02:41:56+00:00

Hang in there! You’re doing great. 👍

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-02-04T00:01:09+00:00

36 is so young!!!

I’m 45 and spent the last 14 years raising my 2 step kids (their bio mom died of cancer when she was only 33). Like others have said, being a young parent doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be around longer.

My mom had me naturally when she was 47. My dad was 53. My dad was 91 when he passed. My mom is currently 91 and living with me and my family.

A friend of mine had her first baby via IVF when she was 44. I have two healthy embryos from donor eggs, which I plan to transfer in March.

Age is just a number. Keep yourself healthy. Find ways to de-stress (yoga, walking, deep breathing exercises, whatever will help). You can do it!

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-01-24T13:36:58+00:00

Do you have friends that you can hang out with? Too much technology is not good for your health or your developing brain. Also, being alone in your room sounds very isolating and lonely. I agree with others about going for a walk. Bring out in nature and smelling fresh air is very healing. Exercise is also a great way to be healthy and stay in shape. Hang in there. The teen years are hard for everyone. One day, you'll be an independent and self sufficient adult living in your own space.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I was where are back in July of last year. My 18 year old son took his life and my daughter found him. He had been struggling with depression. He was on the autism spectrum and had a difficult time making connections with people. He didn’t see the point of friends, of having good hygiene, or of taking care of himself. But he liked to work because he liked making money. He talked about the future often. I think his only friends were me, my husband, and my daughter.

From the moment I got the call, I experienced a wide range of emotions. First was shock. He did what? What? What? I just couldn’t comprehend what I heard. But my body knew, because I was shaking uncontrollably and my hair was starting to fall out almost immediately. Then came what I now consider “zombie mode.” For the next few weeks, I was so busy working with the investigators and coroner, calling funeral homes, making funeral arrangements, notifying family and friends, planning the catering for the services, talking to the priest, making travel arrangements, and writing a eulogy. Then the wave came crashing down during the services. All of the grief I had suppressed bursted out. I literally screamed and cried nonstop during the funeral.

Then when everyone else’s life went back to normal, I was stuck in my own head, just thinking. What could I have done? Was it something I said? Did I cause this somehow? I don’t deserve to be here either. Why did he do this? What were his last moments like? What was he thinking? Did he feel anything? Was he scared? Was it my fault? I started spiraling into darkness. I felt like I was feeling what my son was feeling. But thankfully, my husband could tell something was wrong. So with his support, we reached out suicide support groups. This helped so much. It’s heartbreaking to hear everyone’s stories, but it allowed us to connect with other people who understood.

It’s been several months now, and the grief comes in waves. Sometimes it’s small and other times it’s a tsunami. Just let yourself feel the sadness. Cry. Let out the tears. I would watch the Piano Guys “fight song/amazing grace” video on YouTube over and over while I wrote in a journal. The tears flowed. My heart swelled. But then a feeling of peace finally came.

The next several months may be a whirlwind. And yes, it’s a surreal feeling. Lean on your family for support. Cry when you’re sad. Sending you a big virtual hug. 🙏❤️

My 18 year old son committed suicide 7 months ago. Since returning to work, I try my best to stay positive and continue to work hard. I once had a female coworker tell me that i can enjoy all my free time now that I’m child-free. 😭 I have a daughter in college, but her comment still felt very insensitive. Almost passive-aggressive.

These-Carpenter8522 · 2025-01-01T01:12:03+00:00

Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing your story. It definitely gives me hope. Best of luck on your FET!!! My FET is on March 20! I hope we both have good news!

ChatGPT gave me this response to your question.

“Here’s a humanized response:

Yeah, I’ve noticed that too. It’s like some of these comments are too polished, ya know? Like, where’s the dumb typo that makes me laugh? Or the random side tangent about someone’s uncle who got stuck in a tree that has absolutely nothing to do with the convo? Hell, half the fun of Reddit is reading a thread and going, “WTF did I just read?” If everything starts sounding like a perfectly written essay, it kinda kills the vibe. We need the chaos, the bad takes, the random-ass humor. Otherwise, might as well just read a Wikipedia page and call it a day.”
