Seemingly by the hour, details of Nancy Guthrie\u2019s<\/a> <\/strong>disappearance become increasingly more frightening. The 84-year-old mother went missing on Sunday after being absent her usual church service in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police believe there were suspicious circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the mother of Today<\/a> host Savannah Guthrie<\/a>. The latest twist in this case suggests the widower this may be a ransom situation. Reports suggests kidnappers are seeking a substantial payment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This case continues to take some disturbing turns, seemingly for the worse. TMZ<\/strong><\/a> reports receiving a ransom note on Tuesday. Millions in Bitcoins is reportedly what the kidnappers are asking for. While they didn\u2019t reveal the specific amount, they did confirm the Bitcoin address is real.On Monday, Sheriff Chris Nanos with the Pima County\u2019s office said that they were treating Nancy\u2019s disappearance as a criminal act<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Savannah has not been in the anchor chair at Today since learning of her mother\u2019s disappearance. She may no longer be co-hosting NBC\u2019s coverage of the opening ceremonies at the 2026 Winter Olympics, which take place on Friday in Italy. The network could have to find someone else to fill her spot, as sources say she\u2019s not even thinking about getting on a plane for that right now. Savannah has previously said her mother is sharp as a tack but given her age, mobility can be an issue. Nancy lives on her own in her place in Arizona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police and Nancy\u2019s family are concerned for her well-being as she reportedly has to take medicine daily. TMZ says there is a deadline on the note with an element of or else. They say they forwarded the message to the Pima County Sheriff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
