As the search for NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy Guthrie stretches into its sixth day,
more information has been coming out about the ransom note. NTD's Arlene Richards has the latest.
What I found interesting, because we knew she wore an Apple Watch, there are pictures of her
with Savannah with that watch, but they mentioned where the watch was. That's Harvey Levin, the
founder of TMZ, telling Fox News why he thinks the ransom note his media outlet received from
alleged suspects in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie is likely real. Levin told Fox News on
Thursday evening the note stated exactly where the watch was placed in the house, and it also
mentioned the placement of a floodlight which had never been made public. An FBI special agent
confirmed these as well during a news conference on Thursday afternoon. The sender of the note
demanded millions of dollars in Bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie's safe return. They also called for the
crypto to be transferred to a legitimate yet unidentified Bitcoin address. An initial deadline
of 5 p.m. Thursday has passed. The next deadline is set for Monday. The Monday deadline is far more
consequential. Levin said the letter states that the family will not have any way to contact them,
and that's why he said the family is seeking assurances about their mother. Nancy Guthrie's
son Cameron Guthrie made a new video appeal on Thursday to his mother's potential captors.
This is Cameron Guthrie. I'm speaking for the Guthrie family. Whoever is out there holding
our mother, we want to hear from you. Levin has also said he doesn't believe Nancy Guthrie is in
Tucson anymore, but he believes she's in the area. At least, you know, you can look at this area and
say this is where people should be particularly vigilant. Right. Meanwhile, the Pima County
Sheriff's Department posted on Friday that their office has not scheduled any more briefings,
citing a lack of new leads. This follows a comment by Sheriff Chris Nanos on Thursday
for the media to be patient. Please give us some space, and that's not just physical space.
Give us some space. Give my team some time, because these things do take time,
and they are difficult, and everybody out there is really working hard.
On Thursday, the FBI arrested a Los Angeles man who pretended to be the abductors.
The man, Derek Colella, was expected to appear in court on Friday afternoon.
In an unrelated press conference on Friday, Attorney General Pam Bondi said she was heartbroken
over the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Breaks my heart for Savannah and for her family.
I know she's asked for all of our prayers, so please pray for her. Pray for her beautiful
mom. Pray for her family that she's returned home. Authorities said Nancy Guthrie was last
seen at her Tucson home around 9.30 p.m. on Saturday. Arlene Richards, NTD News.
