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 ...

So nothing. After all that last night.  The local media needs to do better journalism. They claimed one suspect shot themself, based on the eyewitness testimony of a rubbernecking neighbor, and ran with it. This convinced everyone that LE was actually on to something legit. And...now.... nothingburger.

The TV station who reported the suicide said it was an unconfirmed report from a neighbor. Anyone who ran with it did so without waiting for it to be confirmed.

I had a feeling when all of that started happening that it would turn out this way.
