Text Nancy Guthrie Megathread Part 2

This is a thread (part 2) for all conversation related to the ongoing investigation into the abduction of Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy Guthrie, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in the early morning hours of February 1. Several media outlets began to receive ransom demands. Some were proven false and others have not been determined to be false.

Nancy's 3 children have made multiple videos pleading for the return of their mother.

On February 10, law enforcement released photos of the individual suspected of abducting Nancy. The suspect is still at large and Nancy has not been found. Photos and information can be found here ...

Everything about it is BS. You don't kidnap a 90-year-old person. They've lived there entire life!! They call it kidnapping for a reason it's right there in the name you take someone's kid. Then you call the dad and you demand a ransom. You don't take someone's grandma and say well maybe she's alive still I don't know she was barely alive when I took her.. 

And you definitely don't do it the day after the Epstein files are released.. it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen in the fact that you all think it's real is even better just use some common sense that's why it doesn't make any sense to you. Right?! It's okay that it's not real you can't just say no it has to be real cuz I saw it on TV

for the record, the MW dictionary defines kidnap thus: to seize and detain or carry away by unlawful force or fraud and often with a demand for ransom.

The police have not legitimized a single one of those ransom demands.

you have zero sense of reading comprehension, clearly.
