Overview
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her Tucson home in February and investigators say they have found no trace of her since.
- The kidnappers sent multiple ransom messages to local media, and the FBI judged two of those notes potentially authentic while working to trace their origin.
- One early note demanded payment in cryptocurrency and a second letter, newly public, claims Guthrie died shortly after the abduction though the claim has not been verified by authorities.
- The FBI released surveillance images showing a masked, apparently armed person near Guthrie’s door and Director Kash Patel published a person-of-interest photo, but no suspects have been identified or arrested.
- Savannah Guthrie has pleaded for help publicly, a reported $1 million reward plus an FBI reward were offered for information, and family appeals and national coverage have so far failed to produce a confirmed sighting or breakthrough.
