The Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case has taken a distressing turn as the first ransom note deadline has passed without any contact from the abductors. The family of Nancy Guthrie has been anxiously waiting for any sign of life from her, but so far, there has been silence.
The initial deadline, which required millions of dollars in bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return, expired at 4 PM PT on Thursday. Despite the family’s hopes, they have not received any communication from the kidnappers. Savannah Guthrie, host of ‘TODAY,’ shared a video of her brother expressing the family’s frustration at the lack of proof of life for Nancy.
Law enforcement, including the FBI, have been involved in the case since a ransom letter was sent to TMZ earlier in the week. The FBI confirmed the deadline to the public on Thursday, raising the stakes for Nancy’s safe return.
Savannah Guthrie posted another video urging the kidnappers to provide proof of life if they want to negotiate. The decision to pay the ransom demand ultimately rests with the Guthrie family, but the FBI has not disclosed what actions will be taken if the deadlines are not met.
A second deadline has been set for Monday, February 9, adding further pressure to the situation. Harvey and Charles of “TMZ Live” discussed the potential consequences of missing the deadlines, indicating that the demands may escalate if the first deadline is missed.
As the investigation continues, NBC has declined to comment on the case, and the FBI has yet to provide any updates. The Guthrie family remains hopeful for Nancy’s safe return and continues to wait for any communication from the kidnappers.
