Guthrie Family Posts New Video Pledging Payment as Kidnapping Probe Presses On

Authorities have not identified any suspects.

Overview

  • Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released a new Instagram video Saturday saying they received a message and will pay to secure 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie’s return.
  • At least two anonymous ransom notes demanding bitcoin were sent to media outlets, with one setting deadlines including a second for Monday, though no proof of life has been provided.
  • Investigators say the notes are under review for authenticity, and one person has been arrested for false communications unrelated to a confirmed suspect in the abduction.
  • Detectives conducted additional searches around the Tucson home, seized the victim’s car for forensic testing, and earlier removed security equipment, but no linked vehicles or persons of interest have been identified.
  • Key evidence includes blood found on the porch and a doorbell camera removed after recording an unidentified figure; the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward, and President Donald Trump said there are solid leads.
