Nancy Guthrie Case: $6M Bitcoin Demand Intensifies Search
10 Feb
Summary
- Abductors demand $6 million in Bitcoin for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
- Nancy was taken from her Tucson home between Jan 31 and Feb 1, 2026.
- Savannah Guthrie, Nancy's daughter, has an estimated net worth of $40 million.
An extensive search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie has entered its second week, with a $6 million Bitcoin ransom demand becoming a central focus. The alleged abductors sent ransom notes to news stations, increasing the urgency of the investigation. These notes, initially requesting $4 million before escalating, included specific details that made them credible to the FBI. Nancy was taken from her Tucson home between late January 31 and early February 1, 2026. Her doorbell camera was disconnected, and her pacemaker app lost connection shortly before her disappearance.
The ransom deadline of February 9, 2026, has now passed without confirmation of payment or proof of life. The financial standing of Nancy's three children – Savannah, Camron, and Annie Guthrie – has drawn public attention, especially regarding their ability to meet the $6 million demand. Among them, Savannah Guthrie, a co-anchor for NBC's Today show, possesses a substantial net worth estimated at $40 million. Her brother Camron, a retired Air Force Colonel, has an estimated net worth of $2 to $5 million, while their sister Annie's net worth is around $100,000.
