Nancy Travis Remarks on Chilling Parallels Between Van Oosten Kidnapping & Nancy Guthrie

In 2017, grandparents Connie and Larry Van Oosten went through an unthinkable ordeal when they were abducted at gunpoint from their home in rural Illinois, forced into the trunk of a car, and held captive in a secret bunker. The couple vanished without a trace—much like the disappearance now dominating headlines surrounding Nancy Guthrie.

“As soon as [Guthrie’s kidnapping] happened, I thought ‘My God, is this a parallel or what?’” shares actress Nancy Travis, who plays Connie Van Oosten in Lifetime‘s Rescued By Faith: The Connie and Larry Van Oosten Story.
