Investigators found signs of forced entry at the Arizona home of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, a person familiar with the investigation said Tuesday, as the host asked for prayers to help bring back the 84-year-old, whom authorities believe was taken against her will.

Nancy Guthrie must be found soon because she could die without her medication, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said, urging whoever has her to free her. 

The motive remains a mystery. Investigators do not believe at this point that the abduction was part of a robbery, home invasion or kidnapping-for-ransom plot.

British politician Peter Mandelson is quitting the House of Lords as he faces new questions and a potential police investigation over his relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Mandelson has informed officials he will retire from Parliament’s upper chamber effective Wednesday.

The newly released files contain emails from Mandelson to Epstein passing on nuggets of political information, some of which critics say may have broken the law. 

Don Lemon said about a dozen federal agents came to his Los Angeles hotel to arrest him last week, although his attorney told authorities he would turn himself in to face federal civil rights charges over his coverage of an anti-immigration enforcement protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.

Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023, plans to plead not guilty.
