Nancy Guthrie investigation: Armed SWAT vehicles ‘deployed’

The alleged ransom note was sent to several local Tucson TV news affiliates and to TMZ 48 hours after Nancy disappeared.

Although it has yet to be verified, the note demanded that “millions” be deposited into the verified Bitcoin account, with a deadline of February 5 at 5:00 PM MST.

Things came and went without the kidnappers contacting the Guthrie family, as Savannah’s brother, Camron, shared an Instagram video shortly after deadline.

In it he pleaded, “We want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly yet. We want you to contact us and we need a way to communicate so we can move forward. But first we need to know that you have our mother.”

Savannah revealed in a video on Saturday that the kidnappers finally reached out, saying, “We received your message and we understand,” pleading for her mother’s return and saying, “We will pay.”

The second deadline, Monday February 9, 5 p.m., came and went without any new developments at the time.
