"But I can only assume is that there's a whole lot of work going on, trying to gather and prepare for any kind of digital trail that might come forward as a result of whatever communication and the process of communication they have set up, King said. This could be the last chance to dip in the well and find out locations and other kinds of things."
"The family has pleaded via video for their mother's release, and signaled that they are willing to pay a $6 million ransom in exchange for the elder Guthrie ahead of Monday's deadline. Tucson's ABC affiliate KGUN9 reported the deadline for the Guthrie family to deposit the $6 million in bitcoin is Monday at 5 p.m. Mountain Time. A TMZ report said the crypto wallet set to receive those funds was still empty at last check, according to Fox's Sandra Smith."
"King said he examined the demographics of TMZ viewers to try to ascertain a motive for Guthrie's kidnapping. I look at the demographic of TMZ and the age group of people that listen to TMZ on a regular basis, the nature of TMZ and the fact that it has kind of a celebrity status and a lot of things they talk about, King said. I find myself kind of waffling back and forth; Is it about money or is it about legacy?"
Nancy Guthrie, 84, is believed to have been kidnapped from her Arizona home about nine days ago. Family members pleaded via video for her release and indicated willingness to pay a $6 million ransom. The ransom note set two deadlines, with the second deadline due Monday at 5 p.m. Mountain Time for a bitcoin deposit. TMZ reported the designated crypto wallet remained empty at last check. Retired police commander Mike King warned that time may be running out and said investigators are working to gather and prepare digital trails, calling the moment critical and suggesting this could be the last chance to find locations.
