Grandmother Vanishes: Family Begs for Help
1 Aug
Summary
- Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home six months ago.
- Abductors sent ransom notes demanding $4m in bitcoin.
- The family is desperately seeking information to bring her home.
The family of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, has made a renewed appeal for information regarding her disappearance. Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1, 2026. Her family has endured six months of agony and despair since she was taken from her bed at night.
Despite an intense national search and FBI involvement, no suspects have been arrested. Recently, investigators released two ransom notes purportedly from her abductors. One note demanded $4 million in bitcoin for her safe return, stating she was scared but safe.
The second note chillingly claimed Nancy Guthrie had "perished shortly after she was taken," attributing it to a heart condition and stating she was "buried in nature." The note expressed sorrow and suggested no intervention could have changed the outcome.
The family's latest plea is a desperate cry for help, emphasizing that someone must possess knowledge or suspicions related to her abduction and the ransom demands. They implore anyone who recognizes the handwriting on the notes to come forward.
