Final ransom deadline passes as search for Nancy Guthrie continues

The final ransom deadline has passed as the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues. The 84-year-old’s purported captors demanded $6 million by Monday at 5 p.m. MT (7 p.m. ET) in a ransom note; the legitimacy of the message has not been verified and the family still has not been given any proof of life.

Ahead of the deadline, Savannah made a desperate plea on social media: “She was taken, and we don’t know where, and we need your help,” asking anyone who sees or hears anything to report it to law enforcement. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said there was no new additional information on Monday and that activity at the Guthrie residences will “continue tonight and into tomorrow as part of the ongoing investigative process, including the expansion of the search and follow-up on new leads.” Savannah and her siblings did not send the requested bitcoin sum by the first deadline on Thursday.
