FBI Reviews Ransom Letters as Search for Nancy Guthrie Reaches Day 6 With No Suspects

Authorities cite DNA-confirmed blood on her porch in a case they believe is an abduction.

Overview

  • A first ransom deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday passed with no direct contact to the family, and a second demand is set for Monday as investigators assess authenticity.
  • Alleged notes sent to media referenced an Apple Watch and a floodlight, and the FBI says every lead is being pursued with one arrest made over a fake demand.
  • Sheriff Chris Nanos says Guthrie is "still out there" but no verified proof of life has been received and no suspect or person of interest has been identified.
  • Investigators outlined a device timeline showing a doorbell camera disconnect at 1:47 a.m., motion detected at 2:12 a.m., and her pacemaker app disconnect at 2:28 a.m., with limited video available.
  • The FBI announced a $50,000 reward as the family pleads for proof of life and highlights her need for daily medication, with federal and state assistance pledged.
