Nancy Guthrie’s suspected kidnappers haven’t been in contact with family since $6M ransom deadline: FBI
The suspected kidnappers of Nancy Guthrie have not made contact with her family since the deadline to pay a $6 million ransom passed, according to the FBI. The deadline, set by the purported kidnappers of the 84-year-old, expired without any sign of the ransom being paid or proof that Nancy was still alive. The FBI spokesperson mentioned that they have not identified any suspects or persons of interest in the case, and there has been no communication between the Guthrie family and the kidnappers.
The FBI is currently running a 24-hour command post with crisis management experts, analytical support, and investigative teams. They are urging the public to come forward with any information that could help bring Nancy home. Harvey Levin, the founder of TMZ, revealed that the ransom notes received by various news outlets included warnings of “consequences” if the demands were not met. The notes suggested that it was in everyone’s best interest to resolve the matter quickly.
Levin described the chilling nature of the threats, stating that there was a direct and stark statement about the consequences of not meeting the demands. Despite the deadline passing, there has been no evidence of any money being deposited into the bitcoin account specified in the ransom notes. Levin mentioned that his team has been monitoring the account closely but emphasized that there is a possibility that a different bitcoin address was provided in subsequent notes to other outlets.
Nancy’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie, released a video message thanking supporters and asking for help in locating her elderly mother. The community has shown support by posting signs and other objects outside Nancy’s home in Tucson. The FBI continues to investigate the case and is seeking any information that could lead to Nancy’s safe return.
