BlockBeats News, February 15 — A kidnapping case that has garnered nationwide attention occurred in Tucson, Arizona. Nancy Guthrie, mother of well-known morning show host Savannah Guthrie, went missing at her home in the early hours of February 1, and police believe she was forcibly taken.
After the case was exposed, it quickly became a focal point of public opinion, with numerous media outlets and online “private investigators” flooding into the area, making Tucson temporarily the center of global attention. Authorities stated that the suspect’s identity has not yet been confirmed and the investigation is ongoing.
Reports indicate that the kidnappers allegedly demanded Bitcoin ransom through anonymous channels, showcasing a new trend of using crypto assets for extortion. Former FBI negotiation experts pointed out that although the suspect appeared in surveillance footage wearing a mask at the door, the high level of attention and ongoing exposure make it “difficult for the involved parties to hide for long.”
The White House stated that the FBI will deploy “all resources” to assist with the investigation. As the case continues to develop, the local community has hung yellow ribbons and posted missing persons notices, with society calling on the public to provide clues.
