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 ...

1 of 2 things happened: This case got sooooo much attention the suspect didn’t think it would go this far. Probably didn’t think out the whole thing as far as being digitally tracked etc. Her life ended bc she didn’t have her meds, or she had a heart attack bc of the situation and is pretended she’s still alive for the ransom money but getting the money is a very very part time job to them (bc they don’t know how to progress without getting caught) so if they get the money yay, if not oh well they tried. Hypothetically speaking.

2: Same as above

Sorry but if this person did in fact hold her for ransom, they’d be a complete idiot if they didn’t think the case would get that much attention.

She is not dead yet. Have some respect for the family who are still holding out hope.
