The people claiming to have kidnapped Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, are demanding a $6 million ransom in Bitcoin, according to a local TV station. “Multiple ransom notes have been sent out to the media, including one that was sent to us”, JJ McKinney from Tucson ABC affiliate KGUN9 reported.
“In the letter, the potential kidnappers demanded that the Guthries pay them $6 million before this Monday.” The ransom note warned that Nancy Guthrie’s life would be at risk if the demand isn’t met by the deadline of 5 p.m. local time on Monday, the outlet reported. However, no further details about the ransom amount and deadline have been revealed yet.

The revelation comes hours after Savannah Guthrie shared that she has agreed to pay a ransom in a bid to secure the safe return of her mother, Nancy, in a new message directly addressing the 84-year-old woman’s captors on Saturday night.
The “Today” show host appeared in a video alongside her sister Annie and brother Camron, the three of them holding hands as she explained that they had been in contact with the people who abducted their mother.
