Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers demand $6 million as Savannah and her siblings plead for her safe return in a strategically coded video.
Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her Tucson home, with her alleged kidnappers demanding $6 million for her release. Savannah and her siblings posted a video saying, “We beg you now to return our mother to us… This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
FBI experts decoded hidden messages in the video, noting the family’s strategic use of words like “celebrate” and “beg” to maintain communication with the captors. Authorities have seized items from Nancy’s home and her daughter’s residence as the investigation continues, while no suspects have yet been identified.
