Nancy Guthrie’s purported kidnappers have not contacted daughter Savannah and the rest of her family since the $6 million ransom deadline passed, according to the FBI.
A ransom note sent to TMZ and two local Arizona TV stations, KOLD and KGUN, demanded that $6 million be dumped into a bitcoin account by Monday at 5 p.m. MT (7 p.m. ET), with no proof that Nancy, 84, is alive.
Savannah, 54, and her loved ones seemingly did not pay the ransom before the latest deadline.
“[The FBI] is not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers, nor have we identified a suspect or person of interest in this case at this time,” an FBI spokesperson said in a statement to The Post after the deadline on Monday.
“We are currently operating a 24-hour command post that includes crisis management experts, analytic support, and investigative teams. But we still need the public’s help,” the statement added.
“Someone has that one piece of information that can help us bring Nancy home,” the spokesperson concluded.
TMZ founder Harvey Levin told celebrity.land on Monday that Guthrie’s alleged captors made threats in the ransom note.
“I’ll read you one line from the ransom note we received,” Levin, 75, shared. “And they say, ‘It is in the best interest of everyone to have this completed as soon as possible.’
Nancy was last seen Jan. 31 when she was dropped off at her Tucson, Ariz., home following a family dinner with daughter Annie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni.
She was reported missing the following day when she did not show up for church.
A trail of blood was seen outside of her Arizona residence.
After the police began their search for Nancy, her purported kidnappers sent out a ransom note with an initial deadline of Thursday, Feb. 5 at 5 p.m. MT.
Two days later, Savannah and her siblings, brother Camron and sister Annie, made a video where they offered to pay the ransom.
“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah said in the Instagram upload. “We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her.”
“This is the only way we will have peace,” the “Today” anchor continued. “This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
Ahead of the latest ransom deadline on Monday, Savannah appeared solo in another Instagram video and desperately asked the public to help them find Nancy.
“We believe our mom is still out there. We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock trying to bring her home — trying to find her,” she said.
“She was taken, and we don’t know where, and we need your help,” the mother of two added.
Savannah has not been on “Today” since her mother went missing.
