As far as kidnapping cases go, the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has dominated recent headlines. The 84-year-old Arizona grandmother, who has known medical issues, was reported missing by her family on February 1. Investigators later recovered DNA from a glove found near her home and obtained video images of a potential suspect from the morning of her abduction, as well as possible footage from even earlier.
Despite these developments, Guthrie — the mother of Today Show co-host Savannah Guthrie — remains missing. Nearly 25 days after she was last seen, her family has acknowledged the painful possibility that she may no longer be alive.
But not every kidnapping story in Arizona has ended in tragedy.
Authorities recently confirmed that a three-year-old girl named Kehlani Rogers was rescued after being spotted by an alert moving crew who realized something was wrong and immediately contacted police. Their quick thinking led to the child’s safe recovery and the apprehension of the suspect.
The moving company’s founder, Chad Olsen, summed up the moment with humility.
“We’re a moving company, we’re not professional heroes,” Olsen said. “But we’re good people, and we do the right thing.”
In a week marked by heartbreak in one Arizona case, the rescue of Kehlani Rogers offered a powerful reminder that vigilance and ordinary citizens can still make an extraordinary difference.
