Savannah Guthrie Pleads for Help as FBI Probes Credible Bitcoin Ransom Note in Mother’s Abduction

Investigators consider a bitcoin ransom note credible pending verification.

Overview

  • Savannah Guthrie released a new video Monday appealing for tips and saying her family has reached "the hour of despair."
  • Authorities are evaluating a ransom demand seeking millions in bitcoin before Monday evening, which they deem credible but not yet authenticated.
  • Investigators continue to treat the disappearance as a likely kidnapping and have not identified any suspect.
  • Forensic testing matched blood found outside the Tucson home to Nancy Guthrie, and device logs show a night‑time doorbell camera disconnect and her pacemaker losing connection.
  • The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward and leading the search, and the president says federal resources are deployed.
