The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of the famous American presenter Savannah Guthrie, continues to be one of the most followed cases in the US, while the investigation into her kidnapping continues without the identification of the perpetrators. American authorities, including the FBI and local police in Arizona, are investigating the case as a possible kidnapping.
According to US media reports, the alleged kidnappers have demanded a ransom of around $6 million, payable in Bitcoin, and have set deadlines for payment, threatening consequences if the demands are not met. One of the ransom notes was sent to local media and contained warnings about the victim's life if payment is not made within the specified deadline.
Nancy Guthrie's family has made a public appeal for her safe return and have stated that they are willing to pay a reward if it guarantees her return. The appeal has been made through social media and public statements, emphasizing that her safety is the top priority for the family.
Meanwhile, investigators have confirmed that several messages and letters related to the case have been received, but their authenticity is being verified, as some of them may be hoaxes or not directly related to the kidnapping.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31, 2026, near her home in the Tucson, Arizona, area. Investigations have uncovered evidence that suggests she may have been taken from her home against her will. Due to her age and health issues, authorities are considering the case as urgent and life-threatening.
So far, no suspects have been identified, while searches and investigations are continuing in several directions. The FBI has also offered a reward for information that could lead to her finding or the arrest of the perpetrators.
