And we will pay. Fox's Jonathan Howe reports the FBI has not yet authenticated the latest ransom letter.

They're working to do that. We do believe that that contained no proof of life as asked for by the Guthrie family. We also don't believe it contained any new deadlines. So at the moment, that Monday deadline that the FBI has talked about and that those who have seen the ransom note say is a very consequential deadline.
