Ransom Note Reveals Savannah Guthrie's Mom Is 'Safe But Scared' And Aware Of Demands For Her Release

Nancy Guthrie, the mom of TV presenter Savannah Guthrie, is reportedly "safe but scared," according to the ransom note received by TMZ.

The 84-year-old's alleged abductors have demanded that millions of dollars be transferred via Bitcoin before she will be released; however, the ransom note indicates there are two deadlines, with one already having elapsed on Thursday, February 5.

An ex-hostage negotiator has also weighed in on the situation involving Savannah Guthrie's mother, revealing that it's highly likely more than one person was involved in her abduction.

A ransom note has seemingly acted as proof of life in Nancy Guthrie's suspected abduction.

The octogenarian's purported kidnappers sent the note to TMZ, where they claimed that she's "safe but scared," and is fully aware of their monetary demands.

Reports suggest the note, in which they requested millions in bitcoin so as to avoid "consequential" repercussions, was sent two days after Nancy was reported missing.

"I will say the letter begins by saying she is safe but scared, and they go on to say she knows exactly what the demand is," TMZ boss Harvey Levin told Fox News' Sean Hannity on Thursday.

"They are, through us, telling the family exactly what they are demanding, and they are saying that Nancy is aware of it," Levin narrated of the terrifying ordeal for the "Today" show co-host's family.

He went on, "They are also saying … that this will be their only communication and they are done communicating and negotiating — here's the deal and that's it."

"As the clock ticks, that's one of the reasons the FBI and other authorities have gotten desperate here," Levin added.

Elsewhere in his conversation with Hannity, Levin raised concerns as he revealed that some details about the ransom note led him to believe Nancy was still within the area, although he didn't elaborate further.

He also added that the note contained insider information about her personal details, including information about her Apple Watch and a broken floodlight. Levin seemingly took it seriously as the note was sent before that information was publicly revealed.

"That was what really put my antenna up, and we immediately called the sheriff," he told CNN's Erin Burnett. "They do mention an Apple Watch, as the FBI said, and they do mention the floodlight, the damaged floodlight."

"There is something else, and it is the placement of the Apple Watch, which has not come out. If that placement is accurate, I'm sure that is something that puts this letter on the FBI radar," he added.

Nancy has been missing for almost a week now after she didn't report to a church service on Sunday.

The situation has been particularly concerning for her family as she's reportedly not fully mobile and requires critical medication every 24 hours.

Law enforcement concluded she was abducted as part of a Ring doorbell camera in her multimillion-dollar home in Tucson was missing.

Blood splatters were also found on Nancy's porch, and as confirmed by the Pima County Sheriff, Chris Nanos, during a news conference on Thursday, the blood belongs to the octogenarian.

Investigators say she was last seen on Saturday night when family members dropped her off at home after a dinner together, with reports suggesting they've already visited the home of Savannah's sister Annie, as she was the last person to see their mom before her alleged abduction.

A former NYPD hostage negotiator, Wallace Zeins, weighed in on the incident, saying she believes more than one person was involved, per the New York Post.

"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.

Responding to the abductors' demands for the ransom to be paid in bitcoin, she said, "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."

TMZ again revealed that law enforcement had confirmed there were two deadlines in the ransom note sent to news outlets.

The first deadline, which has elapsed, was for Thursday, 5 pm local time, and according to the note, failure to meet the deadline will cause a change in the demands.

After the demand changes, the next deadline for fulfilling it was set for February 9, and this time around, failure to meet the second deadline could lead to a "more serious consequence," as reported by Harvey Levin.
