A former FBI official has raised doubts about the status of Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy, suggesting she might not be alive and could potentially be held by her kidnappers.
Chris Swecker, who served as an Assistant Director at the FBI, expressed skepticism during an appearance on “The Big Weekend Show,” saying, “Is this really a kidnapping? Did someone really take her? And is she really alive?”
Guthrie and her siblings have shared their concerns online, urging the alleged kidnappers to release their mother and have even indicated they would consider a ransom of up to $6 million.
Swecker pointed out that if this were indeed a kidnapping, there should be some way to confirm her safety. He mentioned the lack of reliable evidence to verify Nancy’s well-being, stating, “We have to consider the possibility that this was something other than a kidnapping.”
He also highlighted an alarming shift in the reported ransom amount, which rose from $1 million to $6 million in just a few days. “Remember, not too long ago we had 1 million people, and all of a sudden we have 6 million,” he added, implying that there might be a third party involved, someone who could be exploiting the situation.
Since Nancy’s disappearance from her Tucson home, two ransom demands have reportedly come to light. FBI officials revealed that the first ransom note, which was sent to news outlets last week, included two deadlines—one for Thursday and another for Monday.
