Hey there, everybody. It is Thursday, February 12th, and we have a new note, new leads, and new searches. In the case of Nancy Guthrie, as so many signs and so much momentum seems to be building towards possibly the break in this case. And with that, welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Robes. They got 4,000 tips in a 24-hour period. We have to go back and think. this has to be, of course it is connected to what was the biggest break was seeing those surveillance videos that they put out a couple of days ago.
Amy Robach 0:48
That's right. And the fact that they were able to not just get images, but have that video. So you can see this masked person. There were a lot of clues from his eyes to what he was wearing, the gun he was carrying, the backpack he had on his back. The hope is yes, somewhere in those 4,000 tips that came in, in a 24-hour period of time, that one of those tips will lead them to Nancy Guthrie.

What new developments have emerged in the Nancy Guthrie case?

Amy Robach 1:16
But you have to go through each and every one of them.
TJ Holmes 1:19
Every single one. And one of those is what led to a person being detained this week. And it's not out of the realm of possibility. We're going to see more detainments. We're going to get into all of this in just a moment. But, Robes, I guess I have to start with a more... Again, there have been twists and turns and bizarre happenings more so than huge revelations and moving the case forward, but we got another.
Amy Robach 1:41
note but this one apparently is not from a kidnapper demanding money and it also wasn't sent to the family and it wasn't sent to the police it was sent to tmz once again now according to tmz this note basically said they couldn't get in touch with they tried and failed to get in touch with savannah or cameron for whatever reason they're claiming they weren't able to but yes this note wants one Bitcoin, which they said the Bitcoin address provided is legit, but that's about $66,000 now. And TMZ pointed this out because the money, the demand is to say, we know who the kidnapper is. We can give you or put you in the right direction and hand over the suspect.
TJ Holmes 2:28
And as soon as we saw what this was about, I looked – this is disgusting. I can help you solve the crime, but you've got to pay me first. It doesn't sound legit.
Amy Robach 2:37
No, it doesn't. And TMZ pointed out that there's a $50,000 reward right now from the FBI to anyone who gives – Or hands over the information that leads to an arrest or leads to finding Nancy Guthrie. So if they're demanding $66,000, basically, why not just go ahead and call in to the FBI and get your $50,000?
TJ Holmes 2:58
It doesn't make sense.

How are authorities responding to the influx of tips?

TJ Holmes 2:59
This does not make sense. But this is, I guess, they have to look at it and take it. Seriously until otherwise, but it sure seems and sounds suspicious in robes if somebody is out there. Are you serious? Are you really inserting yourself into this national story by saying, I can solve this crime for you, but you have to pay me first? That's...
Amy Robach 3:21
It's gross. It's disgusting. People trying to capitalize financially or just say they were a part of the story, inserting themselves. It's distracting. It takes away resources. And it's just ugly. And honestly, it's criminal.
TJ Holmes 3:36
to be doing this so it's it's all of the above but mostly it's just sad that people would do this for whatever personal gain they think they're getting out of it i guess we shouldn't be surprised but i always am robes in these moments so even if this person i think is worse if they do have legitimate information that means you can you can get this family out of the pain they're in but first i want bit i think that's worse than if it's a scammer
Amy Robach 4:02
That's true. That's true. If they're legit and they do have information, please, let's not hold the information hostage. Let's not use this as a form of extortion. That's just awful.
TJ Holmes 4:14
Did you put it that way? They are holding the family hostage. Yes. over the mother being held hostage. Come on, y'all. So they have to take it seriously. There's no feeling about this that seems like, oh, this is the one, or they should follow this. It doesn't feel like that, at least.
