"The FBI has arrested what an official called a "total imposter" for allegedly trying to profit off the mysterious disappearance of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie's mother with a bogus ransom note. FBI Phoenix's special agent in charge, Heith Janke, said at a press conference over the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie that the arrest was related to an "imposter ransom demand" for the woman, who authorities believe was taken from her Arizona home five days ago."
""To those imposters who are trying to take advantage and profit from this situation, we will investigate and ensure you are held accountable for your actions," Janke said. Janke also issued a message to anyone who may be involved in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, urging them to "do the right thing." "This is an 84-year-old grandma that needs vital medication for her well-being," Janke said."
An arrest was made in connection with a bogus ransom demand tied to the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie. Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Arizona home five days earlier. FBI Phoenix special agent Heith Janke said the arrest related to an "imposter ransom demand" and that additional details were not immediately available. Investigators are treating a separate ransom letter sent to local and national media seriously; that letter demanded money by 5 p.m. local Thursday, with a possible second demand the following Monday. The FBI is offering up to $50,000 for information leading to recovery or convictions. Janke urged those involved to do the right thing, noting Nancy Guthrie needs vital medication.
