Why Would Someone Kidnap Nancy Guthrie?
The whole thing makes no sense at all
It’s been 18 days since 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped in the middle of the night from her home near Tucson, Arizona. Since her disappearance, there have been no leads on where she is or why she was kidnapped.
Despite sending a ransom note requesting $50,000 in bitcoin in exchange for information about Nancy’s whereabouts, no follow-up information has been sent. Savannah Guthrie, Nancy’s daughter, agreed to pay for the information.
While Nancy Guthrie is not considered particularly wealthy, Savannah Guthrie has a considerable fortune, estimated at up to $ 40 million.
Was that the motivation for the kidnapping? If so, why hasn’t there been an arrangement to receive the money?
Law enforcement has released video of a masked man entering Nancy’s home in the middle of the night. He was wearing gloves and a Walmart backpack. A glove found has been sent for genetic analyzation which could take some time.
Meanwhile, the family is distraught, and the news story has caught the nation’s attention. Who could have imagined someone’s elderly mother being kidnapped?
Somebody somewhere knows something. With an entire country looking out for the Guthrie family, surely someone will spill the beans. This terrible event will most likely not end well, given the time that has elapsed.
Meanwhile, if you still have your mother, give her a hug. I wish I could hug mine.
Like many people, I pray for Nancy Guthrie and her family.
