Guthrie Family Says "We Will Pay" as FBI Reviews Ransom Claims in Day 8 Search for Nancy

Investigators are vetting unverified ransom claims with no proof of life.

Overview

  • Savannah Guthrie and her siblings posted a new video saying the family received a message and is prepared to pay for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie’s safe return.
  • The FBI says multiple communications referenced money and deadlines but offered no proof of life, and agents are evaluating their authenticity.
  • Local station KGUN9 reported a $6 million Bitcoin demand with a Monday 5 p.m. deadline, a detail not confirmed by authorities and later removed from the station’s social posts.
  • Detectives conducted follow-up searches at multiple locations, including a family member’s home, and towed a vehicle from Nancy Guthrie’s property; no suspects have been publicly identified.
  • Officials say blood found at the residence matched Nancy Guthrie, the doorbell camera and pacemaker app disconnected around 2 a.m., a $50,000 FBI reward is offered, and one man was arrested over an alleged fake ransom demand.
