US EditionNancy Guthrie Case: Former FBI Assistant Director Believes Suspect Was Local
The former FBI official said kidnappers may have known her family’s wealth and used cryptocurrency demands to avoid a ransom drop, investigators said.
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of Today star Savannah Guthrie, vanished nearly three months ago from her Tucson, Arizona home; the FBI and local police are investigating the case as a suspected kidnapping with no publicly identified suspect.
- Former FBI official John Miller stated "the answer is in Tucson," suggesting the abductor was a local familiar with Guthrie's routines who targeted her because she was "relatively defenceless" and lived alone.
- The FBI is analyzing "potentially critical" DNA evidence recovered from inside Guthrie's home, while surveillance footage shows a masked, armed suspect tampering with security; reports of Ransom Demands involving cryptocurrency remain unverified by law enforcement.
- Alongside the official search, the Nancy Guthrie Family offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery and issued direct video appeals to the alleged kidnappers pleading for her safe return.
- Miller suggested the abductors may have attempted to "take kidnapping into the digital age" by demanding cryptocurrency, describing the strategy as a "nightmarish dream" to secure a large payday without traditional ransom drops.
