Expert: FBI Likely Lacks Suspect in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance
10 Feb
Summary
- Savannah Guthrie's solo video suggests lack of FBI suspect.
- Ransom notes demanding $6 million in Bitcoin are believed to be legitimate.
- An FBI agent believes Guthrie is desperate and appealing to the public directly.
Law enforcement may not have a suspect in the ongoing disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, according to former CIA member and FBI special agent Tracy Walder. This assessment comes after Savannah Guthrie appeared solo in a video posted to Instagram, marking her first public statement since her mother went missing over a week ago.
Walder believes Savannah's video was unscripted, suggesting that the FBI has not identified a suspect. The family has received ransom notes demanding $6 million in Bitcoin, which Walder considers legitimate. She interprets Savannah's solo plea as a sign of desperation, as the family faces missed deadlines.
Savannah Guthrie, who has publicly stated her family is "at an hour of desperation," has appealed to the public for help, even those outside the Tucson area. The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information that leads to Nancy Guthrie's safe recovery and the arrest of those involved in her disappearance. A tip line has been established to facilitate information sharing as authorities continue their investigation.
