Ex-Hostage Negotiator Reveals Why Savannah Guthrie's Mom's Abduction Involved 'More Than One Person'

Amid the frantic search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, an expert has weighed in on the circumstances, explaining that things seem to point to the fact that more than one person is involved.

The 84-year-old woman's family reported her abduction on Sunday afternoon after she failed to appear for a church service.

Savannah Guthrie has since spoken out about the shocking incident, pleading with the public to keep her family in their prayers.

Law enforcement experts are now sharing their thoughts on the abduction incident involving Nancy Guithrie, amid reports of her alleged abduction from her Arizona home.

According to CNN, a former NYPD hostage negotiator, Wallace Zeins, shared that the ransom note that was written seemingly offers more information about the way the hostage situation went.

"I believe the possibility of more than one person. She's 150 pounds, 5 feet 5, waking up in the middle of the night, not in the best of health — can't walk or run, so I would think there's more than one person involved in this particular crime," Zeins said of Robinson.

Elsewhere in the note, the abductors demanded a huge cryptocurrency payment, prompting experts to believe the suspects are quite tech savvy.

Regarding this, Zeins asked, "What does that tell you? It tells you that it's some type of group that knows what bitcoin is all about, and social media, and they know the system."

According to TMZ, the ransom note also offered details about the crime scene left behind at Nancy's home.

It remains unclear if the note was handwritten or typed, but it appears that if the latter was the situation, law enforcement has a way around it.

"If it were on a computer, then that helps also because the FBI is so good at what they do when it comes down to electronic surveillance and electronic stuff of that nature, then they will be able to further that investigation," Zeins said.

Reports suggest cops are seriously probing the note, but it appears they have no reason to believe the attack was coordinated.

"At this point, there is no credible information indicating this was a targeted incident," the agency told KSAZ.

"Anything that comes in goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI," the force said.

The note also alluded to something sinister happening if the payment isn't made.

Nancy suffers from significantly limited mobility and requires critical medication every 24 hours.

She was reported missing on Sunday afternoon after missing out on a church service, with Pima County cops suggesting she was abducted.

Forced entry appears to be a reality in the situation, as part of a Ring doorbell camera was missing.

According to the New York Post, FBI agents have already visited the home of Savannah's sister Annie, as she was the last person to see their mom before her alleged abduction.

Blood splatters were also found outside her home, suggesting there may have been a struggle between Nancy and the abductors.

Reports earlier surfaced suggesting Nancy's pacemaker stopped syncing with her Apple Watch hours before the alleged abduction.

A law enforcement source told Fox Phoenix that the medical device lost contact with the Apple product around 2 am, although it remains unclear if it was just a malfunction or a targeted incident.

The insider noted that both devices were still in the house when authorities arrived many hours later.

Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has shared that investigations are still ongoing and authorities are doubling down on the search for Nancy.

"The air and ground searches … you'll see that slow down," he said Tuesday morning. "Those things are going to slow down; we're pushing more to the investigative side of this."

He also added that more DNA and video evidence are expected to come in the next few hours as law enforcement continues their investigation.

"She is an 84-year-old woman who went to bed, and sometime in the middle of the night, she was removed from that home and now here 48 plus hours, and this lady needs her medication," he said. "So it's not good."

Savannah spoke out after the disappearance of her mother by sharing a post on Instagram, asking her followers to pray for her mother.

"We believe in prayer. We believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope," the news anchor wrote. "We believe in goodness. We believe in humanity. Above all, we believe in Him."

Savannah continued, "Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant."

She concluded, "Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment. We need you."
