Kidnappers demand $6M in Bitcoin for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, Nancy; search in Arizona intensifies as Long Island viewers grow concerned

A demand for a $6 million Bitcoin ransom in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother has drawn national attention and alarmed many Long Island viewers who watch Guthrie on the “Today” show.

KGUN9, an ABC affiliate in Tucson, reported that individuals claiming to have abducted Nancy Guthrie sent ransom notes to multiple media outlets demanding $6 million in cryptocurrency. Reporter JJ McKinney said the station received one of the messages directly, which set a payment deadline of 5 p.m. local time on Monday.

According to the station, the note warned that Nancy’s life would be endangered if the family did not meet the deadline. Authorities have not confirmed the notes’ authenticity but are aware of and investigating them.

In an emotional social video Saturday evening, Savannah appeared with her siblings Camron and Annie to address the alleged kidnappers. The siblings pleaded for Nancy’s safe return. Savannah confirmed the family had received the communication and appealed to those behind it to bring Nancy home so the family can be reunited. She emphasized that her mother’s safety is priceless to the family and said they would do what they must for her well‑being, adding that only Nancy’s return will bring them peace.

Sunday marked eight days since Nancy Guthrie was reported missing, turning the case into a high-profile search followed from New York to Arizona. Many Long Island viewers, who feel a connection to Savannah from her morning broadcasts, have been closely monitoring developments.

Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31 after spending the evening at daughter Annie’s Tucson home, where they had dinner and played games. She did not resume her usual routine, prompting concern. Family members officially reported her missing around noon on Feb. 1, launching an intensive local investigation.

Over the past week, law enforcement conducted repeated searches around both Annie’s residence and Nancy’s home in the Tucson area. Officers returned to both properties Saturday, though authorities have not disclosed the reason for the renewed searches or whether any evidence was found.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is active. As of Saturday night, officials had not named suspects or persons of interest, leaving many questions unanswered.

Experts on Long Island caution against responding to ransom demands—especially those involving hard-to-trace cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. While Arizona officials have not advised the Guthrie family publicly on whether to pay, investigators typically urge coordination with police and the FBI in such situations.

With the Monday deadline approaching, concern among viewers across the New York region is increasing. Many on Long Island remain hopeful that Nancy will be found alive and returned to her family.

Pima County officials ask anyone with information about Nancy’s whereabouts or the ransom communications to contact them immediately. Though the investigation is based in Arizona, digital tips or evidence could originate anywhere in the country, including the New York area.

Law enforcement entered the Tucson home of Annie Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni. Fox News reporter Brian Entin says officers were seen inside taking photographs. Annie joined Savannah in videos appealing to whoever took their mother to return her.

“Law enforcement appear to be at Annie Guthrie’s house. Camera flashes are coming from inside windows. Will upload video soon,” Entin tweeted.

He posted video from outside the residence and said he did not believe anyone was home. Later he added, “All the deputies have left Annie Guthrie’s house. The last one came out wearing blue gloves. They were inside for about 3 hours.”

Cioni was reportedly the last person to see Nancy Guthrie before she disappeared. Nancy had taken an Uber to dinner with family on Saturday and Cioni drove her home. When she missed church the next day, worried relatives alerted police. Investigators found blood spatter, Nancy missing, and her wallet and cell phone left behind.

The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information. Media outlets have received various notes, and in a video posted Saturday, Savannah — joined by her brother and sister — addressed the senders: “We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”

Authorities say they have no suspects or persons of interest. A vehicle was towed from Nancy Guthrie’s home on Saturday, and a deadline referenced in the notes is set to arrive on Monday.

Former President Donald Trump slammed Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl LX halftime performance, calling it “absolutely terrible” and “one of the worst, EVER.”

On Truth Social, Trump labeled the show “a slap in the face” to the country and criticized the artist’s use of Spanish, saying “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.”

“The Super Bowl Halftime Show is absolutely terrible, one of the worst, EVER!” Trump wrote. “It makes no sense, is an affront to the Greatness of America, and doesn’t represent our standards of Success, Creativity, or Excellence. Nobody understands a word this guy is saying, and the dancing is disgusting, especially for young children that are watching from throughout the U.S.A., and all over the World.”

He added: “This ‘Show’ is just a ‘slap in the face’ to our Country, which is setting new standards and records every single day — including the Best Stock Market and 401(k)s in History! There is nothing inspirational about this mess of a Halftime Show, and watch, it will get great reviews from the Fake News Media, because they haven’t got a clue of what is going on in the REAL WORLD — And, by the way, the NFL should immediately replace its ridiculous new Kickoff Rule.”

Reactions on social platforms were mixed. Megyn Kelly replied on X that viewers “missed out” and called Bad Bunny “awesome,” while others criticized the choice to perform entirely in Spanish and to include flags of other nations. “The NFL having a Super Bowl Halftime Show where their performer sings ENTIRELY in Spanish & waves other nation’s flags, is [100%] a political statement,” one X user wrote, adding that Bad Bunny would rank among the worst halftime acts and that America “deserved better for its 250th birthday.”

Meanwhile, supporters highlighted Turning Point USA’s counterprogramming, the “All‑American Halftime Show,” featuring Kid Rock, Lee Brice, Gabby Barrett and Brantley Gilbert. TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said the event drew sizable online viewership, reporting “up to 6.1 million” on TPUSA’s YouTube channel, plus nearly a million on another outlet and additional large audiences across Rumble and partner platforms.

Good catch — that was an editorial choice I made based on some news styles that use “former” when quoting past statements. If you want it corrected to “President Donald Trump,” I can update the text now. Which do you prefer?

PART 2

The woman who finally moved was not the doctor, not a therapist, not even a worried neighbor — it was Rosa, the Reed family’s nanny, who had lived with them for two years and knew the rhythms of the house better than anyone. She had been in the kitchen when she heard the noise — a steady, frantic beat that made the floorboards under her feet feel like a drum of warning. She’d come upstairs without announcing herself, wiping her hands on a dish towel, and stopped at the doorway to watch a scene that had become all too familiar.

“Let me,” she said softly, and the single, simple tone of the request cut through the tension. Jonathan recoiled as if ordered to back away; Elaine’s eyes narrowed. But there was no argument in Rosa’s face, only a kindness that trembled with urgency. She sat on the edge of the bed and took Oliver’s casted wrist in both her hands. He stared at her with blind hope.

Rosa produced a small multi-tool from her apron pocket — an odd thing to carry, Jonathan thought — and with a practiced motion she loosened the Velcro straps. She worked quickly, not messy, murmuring to Oliver about nothing important, about the weather, about a song his mother used to hum. The cast made a dull, hollow sound as it came free. For a moment, the room held its breath.

What came into the open was not the tidy, medical mess anyone expected. The skin beneath was blistered and iridescent in a way that no bruise should be. Along the margin of the wound, tiny, translucent shapes clustered like spilled rice, writhing with a synchronized, deliberate motion. They were neither insect nor worm as the family knew them; they moved with purpose, a slow wave that suggested intelligence rather than instinct.

Oliver screamed then — not from the removal, but from relief, a raw keening that was half gratitude and half terror. The things recoiled from the light and air, clinging to the edges of skin, slipping into crevices where bandage had once hidden them. Rosa did not scream. She pressed the heel of her hand to the boy’s wrist and then, without hesitation, opened the antiseptic kit and began to work: saline, gentle irrigation, a steady stream that washed away the outer grime and part of the infestation. Each time a cluster loosened, it revealed something deeper — pale, filigreed tissues beneath the skin that had been altered as if by slow architecture.

Investigators erect a white tent outside the entrance to Nancy Guthrie’s home.

Authorities set up a white tent on the front doorstep of Nancy Guthrie’s home on Thursday, drone images show.

Officials haven’t said what the tent is for, but it covers the same entrance where doorbell camera footage captured a masked suspect approaching before Guthrie’s abduction. The FBI released that footage Tuesday but has not provided an estimated height or weight for the suspect.

Investigators have detained and released one person so far and say additional detentions are possible. Authorities also recovered a pair of gloves on a road near Guthrie’s home Wednesday; the items are being tested for DNA.

Authorities erected a white tent on the front doorstep of Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home on Thursday, drone images show, covering the same entryway captured in doorbell-camera footage released earlier this week.

Officials have not disclosed the tent’s specific purpose. Investigators frequently use temporary canopies or tents at residence scenes to protect potential evidence from the elements, preserve chain of custody while processing an entry point, or to shield activity from public view. The tent is positioned over the entry where FBI-released footage shows a masked person approaching the house prior to Guthrie’s disappearance, though authorities have not confirmed whether the tent is directly related to that footage.

The FBI made the doorbell-camera video public on Tuesday but has not provided an estimated height or weight for the suspect shown. Investigators continue to urge anyone with information about the individual in the video or related activity to contact Pima County authorities or the FBI.

So far, law enforcement has detained and subsequently released one person in connection with the case; officials have said additional detentions are possible as the investigation progresses. In a separate development, authorities recovered a pair of gloves from the side of a road near Guthrie’s home on Wednesday. The gloves are undergoing forensic testing, including DNA analysis, to determine whether they are connected to the disappearance.

Local and federal investigators remain tight-lipped about operational details as they process the scene and follow leads. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office continues to ask residents and anyone who may have been in the area around Jan. 31 to review personal cameras or doorbell footage and report any suspicious activity.
