The family of Nancy Guthrie released a new video via Instagram on Saturday in which they pleaded with kidnappers for the return of their mother.  But the tone and some of the language used in the video suggested that the siblings may have communicated with a third party, offering to pay,  so that they can have peace.

Amy and T.J. discuss one of the most elaborate and unthinkable murder cases they’ve ever covered with criminal defense attorney extraordinaire Alison Treissl. 40-year-old former IRS agent Brandon Banfield was found guilty this week of killing his wife Christine and a stranger he lured to his home, Joe Ryan. While Amy and T.J. thought the defense raised some reasonable doubt with two experts from the police department, Treissl pointed out all of the problems with Brendan Banfield’s testimony and why she and the jury just didn’t believe him.

As police continue to investigate the abduction of the 84 year old mother of Savannah Guthrie, the Sheriff’s department had to put out a statement today refuting an allegation made by journalist Ashleigh Banfield.  Banfield has claimed a “high level source” told her that Savannah’s brother-in-law may be the prime suspect in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.  As several news outlets picked up on the headline, the sheriff’s department responded by acknowledging that while detectives continue to speak with anyone who had contact with Nancy Guthrie, NO suspects have been identified at this time.

Another twist in the mysterious disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie.  A local Arizona news station is reporting that is also received a ransom note, but decided to withhold it from the public at the request of police.  TMZ a different decision, and according to the sheriff, went public with the ransom note it received before contacting authorities, a move he said could compromise the investigation.

Another bizarre turn in the abduction of Savannah Guthrie’s mom.  TMZ has given police a ransom note they received from someone who claims to have Nancy Guthrie, demanding millions in cryptocurrency by a specific deadline, “or else.”  TMZ says the note has details about the crime scene that only the suspect would know, and the Sheriff’s Office has confirmed they are aware of  “reports of a possible ransom note.” In the Meantime, comments have started pouring in about the case online and it’s already gotten political and frankly, cruel.   We hope Savannah never reads them.

Investigators just held a news conference on the latest information into Savanna Guthrie’s missing mom, and several moments jumped out to us. First, the sheriff was asked twice about whether a ransom has been asked surrounding the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, and both times the sheriff did NOT say no. Instead he said his team was following all of their investigative leads. The sheriff also told reporters that DNA samples processed from Guthrie’s home have not implicated any specific suspect. Also of note, despite the urgency in finding Guthrie given that she’s not with her necessary daily medication, the sheriff said - barring any major developments - the next press conference wouldn’t take place for another 48 hours.
