Guaranteed human. Hey there, folks. It is Friday, February 6th, and we want to get right to a number of significant updates in the story that's captivating the country, the search for Nancy Guthrie. Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Rove. There is a list of updates we need to get to. And again, we have been doing several updates, Robes, on this story. And we're traveling right now, and we were out with a group last night, a big crowd of folks. And was it not the first thing everybody said to us when they came up to us?
It was absolutely the talk of the party. We were there. We're here in San Francisco for the Super Bowl. And so, yeah, lots of folks you'd think would be talking about sports and talking about the parties that they got invited to or how they're covering. No, the conversation from each group of people we talked to.
was all about missing nancy guthrie it wasn't just a quick question i mean they had questions for us they know we're covering it but robes extended conversations we only mentioned this to say rob these are conversations obviously that are going on everywhere this is such a mystery and now here we are almost a full week since someone has seen this woman and the mystery continues the updates we want to get you get to you are several first of all
What are the latest updates in the Nancy Guthrie case?
There has been an arrest, but not in the case of her abduction. Hoax, ransom notes. We were worried about this. We'll get into that. Also, still saying no suspects. Also, we got an update on that blood, the pictures you've been seeing of the blood on the front porch of her home. Update about that. Also, they passed along to us a deadline, Robes. At least one in one of these ransom notes has come and gone. There's an update about Kash Patel, the FBI director, getting out there. And we got an update on the timeline. I'm not even sure which one of these things stands out, but let's start with, I guess, the arrest, Robes. We were worried something like this might happen. There might be more. But they have arrested a California man for trying to, in the middle of this tragedy, Robes, trying to extort cash from this family.
Yes, and the interesting thing is this is not police separated. This isn't the ransom note that we heard about specifically given to the local affiliate and then to TMZ. This actually, police say, came... After, correct, the Guthrie siblings went and made that plea for the would-be abductor to contact them so that they could start talking. So this imposter took that opportunity and found, I believe, the cell phone numbers of... Savannah's sister and brother-in-law and found some of their personal information and reached out to them and demanded money through Bitcoin.
That's a good way to, this wasn't a ransom note. This was a ransom demand that came in via text. It seems like you said the word opportunity. Isn't it wild that someone, we're looking at it as a tragedy. Somebody actually looked, wow, there's an opportunity for me here.
And I hope they throw the book at him. He has been charged criminally. Thank goodness. And he should be.
Derek, I think it's Kayaya. What was his age again? But he's 27, 30, fairly young. Yes. Young, young man. But yes, he has been charged. So that arrest has taken place. Another update we want to give you is that and this is maybe the most important one. Robes and I kind of glanced over this one is that there is another plea from the family. Forgot to mention the brother of Savannah Guthrie. Another video has come out. His was much shorter. But Robes, I think this one was pretty significant. In what he was saying, he's essentially saying, we actually don't believe we have talked or heard from the actual kidnapper. Ropes, his video said to me more than anything, maybe they don't believe a ransom has anything to do with this.
Yeah, it was a short video. 21 seconds, yes. 21 seconds. Savannah posted it onto her Instagram. It was her brother Cameron, and it was notable in that it seems as though it was timed to coincide with that first deadline from one of the ransom notes.
