rich 1.0 A text claiming Nancy Guthrie is alive and being held in Mexico landed on September 28. The sender wanted Bitcoin. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department called it “not credible” within a day, and a retired FBI agent publicly identified it as a recycled con she’d been targeted by herself months earlier. Nancy Guthrie, 84 years old and the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, was taken from her Catalina Foothills home outside Tucson on the night of January 31. Blood on the front porch. Doorbell camera dark by 1:47 AM. Pacemaker disconnected from her phone by 2:28 AM. Her medication-dependent body separated from everything keeping her alive. The FBI recovered Google server footage of a masked, armed figure at her front door. No identification. No enhanced image released. The investigation’s best physical evidence is DNA collected at the scene in February that doesn’t match anyone connected to Nancy — but sources describe it as “low-level,” meaning it may not produce a genetic profile even after seven months of lab work. The investigation’s early days drew fire from the FBI director, who says the bureau was locked out for four days, and the deputies’ own union president, who called the first week a disaster. The crime scene was returned to the family before the FBI processed it. Evidence with an expiration date — the doorbell camera’s local cache — may have lost footage while jurisdictional arguments played out. Two ransom notes carrying details only someone inside the home would know demanded four million dollars. A second note claimed Nancy had died and was “buried in nature.” Over $1.2 million in combined rewards and thousands of tips have produced no arrest. The answer may rest on whether that DNA sample can give investigators a name. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
