The FBI shared the most concrete evidence of the kidnapping moment of famous host Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, with the public. In the footage, which was retrieved with great difficulty from the home's security system, moments were captured second by second of a masked, gloved, and backpack-wearing armed individual attempting to disable the door camera just before abducting the elderly woman. It was claimed that the kidnappers demanded Bitcoin worth 6 million dollars.
A critical development has occurred in the investigation following the abduction of famous television star Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, from her home in Arizona on January 31. The FBI has shared for the first time with the public footage retrieved from the elderly woman's home security system showing a "masked assailant."
TERRIFYING DATA FROM SECRET FILES: ARMED AND MASKED
FBI Director Kash Patel published the footage on his social media account, which was previously thought to be "inaccessible" but was successfully retrieved by technical teams from "background data."
The footage clearly shows a masked, gloved individual with a backpack arriving at the house on the morning Nancy Guthrie went missing, attempting to disable the security camera with a weapon in hand. It is estimated that the moments when the individual tampered with the camera were just minutes before Nancy Guthrie was forcibly taken from her home.
It was also determined that the assailant used nearby bushes to block the camera's view.
RANSOM DEADLINE PASSED, HOPE FOR "SURVIVAL" CONTINUES
Despite the 10 days that have passed since the incident, no suspect has been apprehended yet. The deadline for the $6 million ransom requested in emails sent by the abductors to media organizations expired last night. Savannah Guthrie made an emotional appeal on social media, stating, "We believe our mother is still alive. Please report anything you hear to the authorities," asking for public assistance.
"WE ARE READY TO PAY THE PRICE"
The famous host, along with her siblings Annie and Camron, addressed the abductors directly in front of the camera: "We received your message and understand. We are begging you to return our mother to us. This is more valuable to us than anything, and we will pay the price."
It is claimed that the abductors demanded $6 million worth of Bitcoin.
"SHE NEEDS HER MEDICATION"
Savannah emphasized that her mother's health condition is very delicate and that she could not take the medications she needs to survive with her, stating that every passing minute is critical.
$50,000 REWARD FROM THE FBI
The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie or the capture of those responsible. In a coordinated operation with the Pima County Sheriff's Department, the city of Tucson is effectively under siege. The information that the elderly woman has a heart condition and cannot take her life-saving medications is raising concerns.
