Well, I doubt they pay anyone without proof, so I guess he does.

It;s interesting because in our current AI age fraudsters are actually doing "proof of life scams" Even the famous 1932 Lindbergh baby kidnapping had several scam notes and extortion demands.

Last year, the FBI warned people of a “proof of life” scam, where fraudsters alter photos from social media to extort people in fake ransom scams.

• FBI received another ‘ransom note.’
• Police moved journalist to the end of the street and blocked off all entry.
• Police informed neighbors they would search for properties in that area.
• FBI arrived at NG home ‘searching’ for something.
• FBI pictured on top of pool room removing either a solar-powered motion detector spotlight – which may also have a camera (unknown)

Thank you! I was trying to sift through and got frustrated lol

TMZ boss says Nancy Guthrie could still be in the Tucson area, ransom note was ‘very specific, well organized’

“The letter begins by saying she is safe, but scared, and they go on to say she knows exactly what the demand is.”

I think I stared at that thing more than I watched them do whatever they were doing on the roof. It's really bothering me not knowing what it is! Random, but it kind of looked like an outhouse to me. Weird place for one.

Guest house.

Just in on Court Tv. TMZ is saying that Nancy is alive and where the kidnappers will drop her off.

Link?

SG even talked about this in the sibling video, they are well aware. Not sure what the precautions are now, but there must be updated forms to combat it.

ok which one of you is Trump

John Barron LOL.

I have seen on social media also that it was a camera they found.

i've seen that posted multiple times. curious why because they are a major network. we allow rag sheet daily mail but not fox!? AND everyone was glued to the live drone footage from links posted here from.... FOX!?

Could you let it go? Fox news is a known right wing propaganda channel. Just stop

I'll believe it when I see it. This all has been so strange.

I have searched everywhere and cannot find it any videos on YouTube or anywhere else of them saying this can you please provide the link.

I fear she is in the duct work or whatever that is called with the heating and cooling system or in the planter. I can't take it, no way are they not looking for a body now. Please let my

I'll believe it when I see it. This all has been so strange.

I haven't been watching video, only reading here -- can anyone confirm that the building where the camera/floodlight/whatever was removed was for sure the main house? Or could it have been on the casita instead?

Guest house.

It looks like some type of animal pen to me. It’s the smaller structure in the scrub they are talking about, not the guest house

Guest house.

I'm referring to a wooden shack looking thing that seems to be just outside the perimeter of the property, kind of behind the guest house.

First time I’ve heard this. Nancy is safe but scared??

“TMZ founder Harvey Levin believes that Savannah Guthrie’s kidnapped mother could be being held in the “radius” of Tucson as he described the purported ransom email as “very specific” and “well organized.”

Levin said on “Hannity” that Monday’s deadline is “far more consequential” after Thursday’s came and went, with kidnappers demanding the family shell out millions in bitcoin for the safe return of the NBC “Today” anchor’s 84-year-old mother.

“The letter begins by saying she is safe, but scared, and they go on to say she knows exactly what the demand is,” he told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Thursday”

There was no proof of life, and no further demands apparently.

There was also this report, which I found interesting. It has been posted a bunch, but it's easy to miss with this thread going so fast:

Police probing leads about a vehicle​

+2
Tom Winter, Andrew Blankstein and Chloe Atkins
Law enforcement officials in Arizona are searching for a vehicle or vehicles that may be connected to the Nancy Guthrie investigation, NBC News has learned.

A Circle K spokesperson told NBC News that law enforcement visited one of their stores on Oracle Road in Tucson after “receiving a tip regarding a vehicle of interest, and our team has provided them access to the store’s surveillance video.”

Officials haven’t said if the vehicle or vehicles are definitively connected to any part of the crime, or if that lead has since evaporated.

Circle K said it was with regards to surveillance footage.

If the TMZ report is accurate, evidently, they did.

What source? Do you have a link?

This isn’t new. He said this after the first letter came in. As far as we know there is absolutely no proof been provided that she is indeed alive
