Retired G-man James Gagliano took a swipe at the federal government on Fox News on Friday for failing to raise the reward for information in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, even after the FBI doubled it to $100,000. As the heavily scrutinized search for the mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie hits Day 13, Gagliano appeared on Fox & Friends several times on Friday morning to provide analysis on the head-scratching case that has so far led to no arrests.
I can tell you that my source every day since has stood by that reporting. And that is the thinking as of the day after Mrs. Guthrie was reported missing. There were a couple of things I reported in that, Dan, if we go back to Tuesday of last week. Number one, that Annie Guthrie's car was towed and is in evidence. That's borne out.
Crypto payments are playing a growing role in the fast-moving disappearance case of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of the 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie. On Tuesday, there was activity in the Bitcoin account listed in a recent ransom note, TMZ reported. TMZ and two other local Arizona outlets, KGUN 9 and KOLD, previously reported receiving a ransom note, in which the purported kidnappers asked for Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy Guthrie.
A man detained by authorities in Arizona investigating the disappearance of Today show host Savannah Guthrie's mother was released early on Wednesday after several hours of questioning, according to reports. An individual who identified himself to reporters as Carlos Palazuelos said he was the person held after a traffic stop on Tuesday in Rio Rico, about an hour's drive from the Tucson area home from where Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on 1 February.
Hatchett reported about 40 minutes later that the pizza was intended for independent reporter Jonathan Lee Riches, who was in front of the home among the assembled press; a viewer apparently ordered it for Riches. There was a deputy out front of the home but facing the other way, Hatchett posted on X. Guess he didn't see the pizza delivery driver. Another deputy has arrived now. Never seen something quite like this.
Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven't heard anything directly, said Camron. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first, we have to know that you have our mom. We want to talk to you, and we are waiting for contact.
Pima County police shared that one arrest has been made in relation to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's mother. On February 5, the FBI arrested Derrick Callella for sending ransom texts asking for bitcoin to the Guthrie family. The FBI traced the phone number from the text message to Torrance, California, where he was arrested. "My next message is to those impostors who are trying to take advantage and profit from this situation. We will investigate and ensure you are held accountable for your actions," FBI agent Heith Janke shared during the press conference on February 5.
