A “person of interest” was detained yesterday in the abduction of Savannah Guthrie’s mother Nancy. Nothing has been revealed about the suspect except that it’s NOT a member of the family. He’s since been released.
Earlier in the day, the FBI released six pictures and two videos of a potential suspect from surveillance cameras, which the alleged abductor is seen tampering with.
The images show a person in a jacket, a ski mask, and gloves . . . wearing a backpack, and a firearm at the waist.
He or she attempts to block Nancy’s doorbell camera with a glove, then with some flowers from her porch.
It was originally thought that no footage existed, since Nancy Guthrie didn’t have a subscription plan, meaning her content was not saved on a server. But the FBI was able to locate residual data from, quote, “backend systems.”
According to a ransom note, the kidnapper . . . or kidnappers . . . had offered to return Nancy to her family after receiving $6 million in Bitcoin.
And TMZ says that yesterday, for the first time, there was activity in the Bitcoin account connected to the ransom note. But they wouldn’t reveal the amount.
Nancy has been missing since Sunday, February 1st. Savannah posted one of the videos yesterday and said in the caption that she believes her mother is still alive.
