The first deadline in the purported ransom note for Nancy Guthrie’s return would trigger, if missed, a change in demand, according to TMZ – who received a copy of the letter.
Law enforcement officials in Pima County confirmed at a Thursday press conference that the note “made a demand” for 5 p.m. local time with a “second demand” set for Feb. 9.
TMZ, one of the outlets that obtained the ransom note demanding millions of dollars in bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return, reported that the “demand” would change if Thursday’s deadline isn’t met.
Savannah Guthrie’s brother-in-law as suspect in Nancy’s disappearance, police say
If the supposed ransom isn’t fulfilled by Monday, then there will be “a more serious consequence,” the outlet reported.
Police have still not said whether they believe the note is real or a fraud.
Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on Sunday after she missed morning mass at her local church.
Blood found on the front steps of Savannah Guthrie’s mom’s home belongs to the missing 84-year-old grandmother, police confirmed in a shocking update.
DNA samples were taken from the blood — seen in hair-raising footage from outside Nancy Guthrie’s million-dollar Tucson house.
After the expedited analysis, it was determined to belong to Nancy, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a Thursday press conference.
“We rushed what we thought was the best target for DNA, we did a rush through, and got some of that back,” Nanos said. “The blood on the porch, that was one we did, it came back to Nancy. That’s what we know.”
That DNA was just one of several forensic samples police took from Nancy’s home and submitted for expedited analysis through the FBI labs – but so far, only analysis of the porch blood has been completed, according to police.
“There’s still more items that have been submitted, we just haven’t got them back,” Nanos said.
Nancy – mother of “Today” show host Savannah – hasn’t been seen since Saturday night when her son-in-law dropped her at home after a dinner with her daughter.
