- Investigators still have no identified suspect and continue analyzing forensic evidence and surveillance videos.
- Six months after her mother was taken from her bed, Savannah Guthrie said her family has lived in “agony and despair” ever since.
- Guthrie said her family spends every waking moment looking for Nancy and wants to give her “the dignity of a proper goodbye”.
- Guthrie expressed that people following the story “for entertainment or for profit” are “part of the harm”, and she vowed, “We will never stop looking for answers.”
Savannah Guthrie has made a heartfelt appeal for information regarding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who was kidnapped six months ago. In a recent statement, she expressed the family's ongoing agony, stating, “Every day, we wake up and try to be strong and go on – because that’s what our joyful and resilient Mom taught us to do.”4
The investigation has revealed ransom notes demanding $4 million in Bitcoin, with one note stating, “Hello Savannah, We have your mother Nancy. She is safe but scared.” The notes threatened harm if payment was not made by specified deadlines, escalating to $6 million if the initial demand was not met.1
Despite the ransom demands, a second note claimed that Nancy had died shortly after her abduction, stating, “She perished shortly after she was taken. We believe it was heart related.” This has left the family in a state of despair, as they continue to search for answers.
Guthrie urged anyone with information to come forward, saying, “We are begging for help. We are desperate. We need someone to come forward.” She emphasized the importance of anonymity for those who may have information, stating, “There is a way out – to tell what you know.” Investigators are still analyzing forensic evidence and reviewing thousands of surveillance videos, but no suspects have been identified in the case.23
Guthrie concluded her plea with hope, saying, “We will never stop looking for answers - and we will never stop looking for the light.”
“Six months after her mother's abduction, Savannah Guthrie expressed that her family lives in 'agony and despair' while searching for Nancy. Investigators are still analyzing forensic evidence and surveillance videos, with no suspects identified in the ongoing case.”
