WEBVTT - JUST IN: FBI Releases Guthrie Suspect Description and TMZ Gets A "Chilling" Note From Potential "Rat" 

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, folks.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:15.440
<v Speaker 2>It is Thursday, February twelfth. He is five nine or

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:20.200
<v Speaker 2>five ten with an average build. That is the description

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 2>of the suspect now and the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie.

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.480
<v Speaker 2>Welcome to this episode of Amy and TJ Breaking News episode.

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 2>We did not think we'd be hopping on, but significant

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 2>enough updates in this case robe that we thought we

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 2>should jump on.

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So yes, we should start with that.

0:00:34.880 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 2>The FBI, it's not that specific, but it's something they're

0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:40.840
<v Speaker 2>using that surveillance video, those images from the front porch,

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.839
<v Speaker 2>and now they are putting out a description of somebody

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 2>they think is the one who can solve this case.

0:00:46.600 --> 0:00:49.080
<v Speaker 3>That's correct, and they this makes sense. They had a

0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 3>white tent they put up this morning on Nancy Guthrie's

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 3>front porch and it looks like they were They have

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 3>very accurate tools, they say, to be able to get

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 3>the angles of where the do where camer was and

0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 3>actually do measurements, and they said they're pretty precise. So

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 3>they feel confident that they have this suspect's height down

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 3>within an inch five nine to five ten.

0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 2>That's pretty remarkable, it is, butbes the statement they put out,

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 2>we'll share we at the FBI statement. They put it

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 2>put online first of all, saying that the reward has

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.119
<v Speaker 2>increased us another headline we'll tell you about. But they

0:01:23.160 --> 0:01:26.480
<v Speaker 2>say new identifying details about the suspect and the kidnapping

0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 2>of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis

0:01:30.640 --> 0:01:34.839
<v Speaker 2>of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI's Operational Technology Division.

0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.760
<v Speaker 2>The suspect is described as a male five nine to

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 2>five ten and just tall with an average build. In

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>the video, he was wearing a black twenty five leader

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.920
<v Speaker 2>Ozark trail hiker pack backpack. And that's all we got. Now,

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 2>the most specific thing here, robes is the backpack. A

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 2>five to ten average build guy, that's me.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 4>That's just about everybody. You're a little taller than that.

0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:03.200
<v Speaker 4>But yes, it's nice.

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:06.840
<v Speaker 2>Get My point is, it's not that distinctive in the description,

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 2>but the backpack is specific.

0:02:08.280 --> 0:02:13.000
<v Speaker 3>Yes, the backpack is specific, and it has reflective bands

0:02:13.080 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 3>on basically the straps, and so that sets it apart.

0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 3>And because it's reflective, they could actually see it. And

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:24.600
<v Speaker 3>they're looking for that backpack in other videos, in other

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:27.960
<v Speaker 3>potential surveillance videos, and they are asking now neighbors to

0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 3>go back in time because they think it's possible this

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 3>man could have been perhaps scoping out the area, maybe

0:02:34.520 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 3>planned his route, maybe did some test runs. So they're

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.800
<v Speaker 3>actually asking neighbors to go back even further a month.

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, they're asking them to go back a month.

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:47.560
<v Speaker 2>If you got anything from January one on, let us know.

0:02:47.680 --> 0:02:49.839
<v Speaker 2>So they're looking for that enrolled we should mention as well.

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:51.560
<v Speaker 2>But they are looking into it. There is a video

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 2>they have acknowledged authorities. We just looked at the video

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:57.640
<v Speaker 2>it is circulating that shows. Please tell me how far

0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.519
<v Speaker 2>back this went if you can remember. But there's a

0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>video surveillance video that seems to show a guy which

0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 2>you can't tell what he's doing, but he has a backpack.

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 2>He's about a mile and a half away from her home,

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 2>and this was maybe weeks ahead of time. But it's

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.560
<v Speaker 2>circulating online and raising some questions.

0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:18.840
<v Speaker 3>Correct, And that is why they have asked actually footage

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 3>from anyone who may have video Onary January eleventh, between

0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:28.359
<v Speaker 3>nine pm and midnight and January thirty first, between nine

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 3>thirty and eleven, because they know something that maybe there

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 3>was someone wearing that backpack, someone who fit that description

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 3>that may have been seen in the area on those

0:03:40.600 --> 0:03:43.720
<v Speaker 3>two dates. So they're actually asking neighbors to go back

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:46.480
<v Speaker 3>to those two dates and go through all their footage.

0:03:46.480 --> 0:03:50.480
<v Speaker 4>That is pretty remarkable, and the specificity is hopeful.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.960
<v Speaker 3>I would think that they have a lead that they

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:56.480
<v Speaker 3>have enough information on that they can be that specific.

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>Well they're so is this amazing? How much help they

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.960
<v Speaker 2>are begging the public for? It's incredible.

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Robes.

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what this has a lot to do with.

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.080
<v Speaker 2>There are no cameras out there, there are no people around.

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.560
<v Speaker 2>She's out that houses out in the middle of nowhere.

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.400
<v Speaker 2>This is a totally different situation. But yes, this is

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.360
<v Speaker 2>where we are now. They're asking for everybody's help. The

0:04:15.400 --> 0:04:19.160
<v Speaker 2>other major headline today why the hell is wh why

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 2>is TMZ getting more ransom notes and demands and potential

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>kidnappers and whatever else than anybody else They've gotten another note?

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 3>Well, I think perhaps because maybe they've been public about it,

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 3>so whoever is contacting them knows that it's getting to

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:37.600
<v Speaker 3>them and it's getting attention, and whether it's attention or

0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 3>actually action that they're looking for, they i think have

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 3>recognized that it's producing results. And so yes, TMZ, we

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:47.479
<v Speaker 3>told you about this morning, the first video or excuse me,

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 3>the first ransom note.

0:04:48.720 --> 0:04:50.359
<v Speaker 4>I guess that was the second ransom note. Now this

0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 4>is another note.

0:04:51.200 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 2>Let's get this straight. They got two ransom notes from

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:59.520
<v Speaker 2>potential kidnappers. Now, the last two notes I've gotten is

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 2>from one who said I want money and I'll tell

0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.280
<v Speaker 2>you who the kidnapper is. Those are the last two

0:05:06.320 --> 0:05:08.560
<v Speaker 2>emails they've got. The second one, they're saying ropes they

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>got today this morning, Thursday. Yeah, they're on the West

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>coast and they're sharing the details and they're saying this

0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 2>one is now his words, Harry Levin's.

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 4>Words, chilling, that's very disturbing.

0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 3>Yes, this one came to them around eleven am Eastern time,

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 3>I think eight am Pacific time today Thursday. And what

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Harvey Levin was able to tell us is that in

0:05:31.240 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 3>this second email, the person who sent it was complaining saying,

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:38.200
<v Speaker 3>I am not being taken seriously. And then he says,

0:05:38.480 --> 0:05:41.560
<v Speaker 3>Harvey Levin says, this person who emailed them makes some

0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 3>ominous statements. They're cooperating with law enforcement by not giving

0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:49.720
<v Speaker 3>us those specific details that are so ominous, so chilling.

0:05:50.040 --> 0:05:53.279
<v Speaker 3>But he said the situation has changed from what we

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 3>told you on Wednesday from this email to what we

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 3>now know on Thursday what that means, and he explained

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 3>why this person is asking for one bitcoin, which this

0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.000
<v Speaker 3>seam's strange.

0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:04.880
<v Speaker 1>This seems strange. One bitcoin.

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:06.600
<v Speaker 2>It looks well, the past several days has been around

0:06:06.600 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 2>sixty five, sixty six sixty seven thousand dollars. That in

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:11.360
<v Speaker 2>the grand scheme of things, doesn't seem like a whole lot.

0:06:11.640 --> 0:06:15.080
<v Speaker 2>But this person claims that they need this money because

0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 2>they want to lay low, that they're going to become

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:20.680
<v Speaker 2>a national rat quote unquote, yes, a national rat, and

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>they're gonna need to go away for a little while,

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:24.880
<v Speaker 2>and they're gonna need some money. This is the argument that

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:25.360
<v Speaker 2>they're making.

0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>Robes.

0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.960
<v Speaker 2>It doesn't make a whole lot of sense. You're not

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:30.680
<v Speaker 2>a nation. I don't know what the dynamic is here.

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>You're telling me you can end this family and this

0:06:34.480 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 2>country's nightmare. Give me sixty seven grand first robes.

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:40.200
<v Speaker 1>What is that?

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:43.120
<v Speaker 4>Yeah mean, give me one bitcoin.

0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 3>In addition to being afraid of retaliation for being a

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:51.320
<v Speaker 3>rat for I guess exposing the kidnapper, the writer or

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:53.840
<v Speaker 3>the author of the sema also told TMC that he's

0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.840
<v Speaker 3>afraid he might be incriminated like that Carlosky. That was,

0:06:57.920 --> 0:07:02.440
<v Speaker 3>of course the DoorDash delivery man who was detained, questioned

0:07:02.560 --> 0:07:03.359
<v Speaker 3>and then released.

0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 4>So obviously he's following the news. He knows what's going on.

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 3>But it's interesting now that he's asking for this one

0:07:08.400 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 3>bitcoin to lay low. And now we have the FBI

0:07:11.280 --> 0:07:13.600
<v Speaker 3>now saying, hey, if you have information that leads to

0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:17.000
<v Speaker 3>the arrest of someone or to the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie,

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:19.040
<v Speaker 3>you're looking at one hundred grant double.

0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>They have doubled. This is what they've done today as well.

0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:27.239
<v Speaker 2>Other headline double the reward was that to increase tips possible?

0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Was that to give a nod to this person, like, dude,

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:34.400
<v Speaker 2>come on, we're offering more money for the reward then

0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 2>you're even asked. I don't know if that was to

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.280
<v Speaker 2>send a signal to this guy, but rhaps it doesn't

0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:38.640
<v Speaker 2>make sense.

0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.040
<v Speaker 1>And I know there's a process and.

0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes that money you don't get it until somebody's actually

0:07:43.080 --> 0:07:44.800
<v Speaker 2>arrested and goes to the legal process.

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>You don't get it immediately, That's what I say. So

0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:47.880
<v Speaker 1>maybe they're.

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 2>Thinking that I don't but this doesn't make any None

0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:50.720
<v Speaker 2>of this makes sense.

0:07:50.760 --> 0:07:54.040
<v Speaker 3>None of this makes sense, and what is perhaps even

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 3>more chilling with all of that, this second email from

0:07:57.360 --> 0:08:01.239
<v Speaker 3>this same person, Harvey Levin, said that he his email

0:08:02.280 --> 0:08:03.720
<v Speaker 3>with basically a threat.

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.520
<v Speaker 4>This is his final attempt to.

0:08:07.480 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 3>Help, that is what he said, like, this is it,

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.960
<v Speaker 3>This is my last offer to help. And TMZ has

0:08:13.960 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 3>been checking and they said at this point, no money

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.679
<v Speaker 3>or bitcoin has been deposited into his account.

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 4>I don't know how bitcoin works transactionally.

0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 3>I didn't even know that you could see if someone

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:27.120
<v Speaker 3>has more or less.

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:27.679
<v Speaker 4>That's weird.

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:29.520
<v Speaker 3>That's kind of creepy to think that you can look

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.880
<v Speaker 3>and see what someone's bank activity is when it comes

0:08:31.960 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 3>to cryptocurrency.

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:34.760
<v Speaker 4>But apparently that's the case.

0:08:34.880 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>The address, I guess that's like your account number. But yeah,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>this doesn't make sense. I am so either way, it's awful.

0:08:43.640 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 2>If this person is just playing a prank and trying

0:08:45.440 --> 0:08:46.400
<v Speaker 2>to take advantage.

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>That's terrible.

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.440
<v Speaker 2>If this person actually does know what's going on and

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 2>where Nancy Guthrie is and you're holding this family hostage

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:57.920
<v Speaker 2>even further, that is again, I try to leave space

0:08:58.000 --> 0:09:00.360
<v Speaker 2>for whatever is going on in this person's life. I

0:09:00.440 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 2>try to leave space that there might be a reason

0:09:02.559 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 2>for fear, for fear of retaliation of the kidnapper. There

0:09:05.440 --> 0:09:07.880
<v Speaker 2>might be I try to leave space for ropes if

0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.319
<v Speaker 2>you can end this, and you're not because you want

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 2>one bitcoin.

0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:14.400
<v Speaker 1>That is hard to understand.

0:09:14.440 --> 0:09:15.200
<v Speaker 4>It's hard to stomach.

0:09:15.280 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>That's hard to stomach.

0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.880
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to stomach, and especially with the urgency that

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:23.120
<v Speaker 3>we now know this eighty four year old woman has

0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 3>been missing.

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 4>Now, I mean, I can't even believe that this is

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 4>twelve days now, correct.

0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Gonna be almost two full weeks, my goodness, in a couple,

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>two fool weeks.

0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 2>And this is the woman that they came out on

0:09:32.520 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>day one and said, we need to find her in

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty four hours because if you doesn't have this medicine,

0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 2>she could die.

0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:38.240
<v Speaker 1>It could be fatal.

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 2>And now they've gotten settled into an investigation, almost like

0:09:42.640 --> 0:09:45.640
<v Speaker 2>send in the tips, what's the next thing, No press briefings.

0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.200
<v Speaker 2>It's like they've settled in and tried to solve some

0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 2>long drawn out mystery. When this is a matter of

0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.040
<v Speaker 2>urgent life or death. This has taken a different turn.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 2>We do want to tell you we heard from Savannah

0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 2>Guthrie again today will tell you what she says, said

0:10:00.559 --> 0:10:04.800
<v Speaker 2>a sweet poignant and really a heartbreaking video.

0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:16.160
<v Speaker 1>She posted stay here all right?

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.320
<v Speaker 2>Well continue here on, Amy and TJ. Just wanted to

0:10:18.320 --> 0:10:19.959
<v Speaker 2>hop on and give you a quick update and it

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.400
<v Speaker 2>was worthy. We usually don't usually Rose put one up

0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:25.199
<v Speaker 2>this late. That does it rise to the level? Should

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 2>we update, folks? And yes, we have enough updates on

0:10:27.520 --> 0:10:31.280
<v Speaker 2>the Savannah Guthries mom missing Mom's story. A new note

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.280
<v Speaker 2>that TMZ has received from someone saying they know the kidnapper,

0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 2>but they want one bitcoin.

0:10:35.600 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>That's the update.

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>Another that the reward has doubled to one hundred thousand

0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 2>dollars and the FBI has now using that surveillance video,

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.520
<v Speaker 2>have come up with a description of the suspect, a

0:10:44.600 --> 0:10:47.320
<v Speaker 2>male five nine to five to ten with an average bill.

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>What did you think, Rose?

0:10:48.160 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 2>We heard from Savannah Guthrie again, but this is not

0:10:50.120 --> 0:10:52.800
<v Speaker 2>the same type of video we seen before with her

0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:56.240
<v Speaker 2>face there and saying please help, And this was totally

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 2>she sent.

0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:00.200
<v Speaker 1>How did this feel to you?

0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.199
<v Speaker 3>She is trying, as she has with her siblings from

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.960
<v Speaker 3>the beginning, to humanize her mother. She is trying to

0:11:06.240 --> 0:11:09.199
<v Speaker 3>appeal to whoever may have information, maybe not even the

0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:13.360
<v Speaker 3>kidnapper themselves, but someone who knows who took their mom

0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 3>or who has their mom and so yes, she put

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:23.080
<v Speaker 3>out a nostalgic video from childhood showing basically just what

0:11:23.840 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 3>it was like.

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:25.920
<v Speaker 4>Her as a little girl.

0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:27.600
<v Speaker 3>Her sister is a little girl, her brother is a

0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 3>little boy, her mom is younger, and just this young

0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:34.000
<v Speaker 3>mother who has you know, her three children around her.

0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:38.559
<v Speaker 3>And yeah, it was. It was incredibly moving. I would say,

0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:40.679
<v Speaker 3>you know, you are taken back in time. I think

0:11:40.720 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 3>everybody has a video that looks like these videos that

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.280
<v Speaker 3>Savannah put up. Everyone can relate to that feeling, that

0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.800
<v Speaker 3>nostalgic feeling of family. And in the caption, she said,

0:11:49.080 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 3>our lovely mom, we will never give up on her.

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.280
<v Speaker 4>Thank you for your prayers and.

0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Hope maybe I took it. I didn't.

0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.959
<v Speaker 2>I don't think she intended this, but it just felt

0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:02.679
<v Speaker 2>like a tribute, you know, it just it It.

0:12:02.640 --> 0:12:03.840
<v Speaker 4>Was My mind didn't go there.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 3>My mind was she was desperate to humanize her mom, like, see,

0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:08.480
<v Speaker 3>this is my mom and we love her, and you

0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:10.200
<v Speaker 3>have a mom like this, and you know what these

0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.440
<v Speaker 3>videos are like, and please help us.

0:12:12.400 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 2>You know what.

0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.720
<v Speaker 1>Jesus chried. I just thought about Kobe Bryant's daughter.

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:20.200
<v Speaker 2>In this situation where you only see someone in a

0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:22.920
<v Speaker 2>picture as a victim.

0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>Right, we can read.

0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:27.160
<v Speaker 2>I've read for a long time that she's an eighty

0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:30.480
<v Speaker 2>four year old mother with health issues. But when you

0:12:30.520 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 2>see her moving, when you see her alive, you see

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 2>her I say, alive, and that not suggesting she's dead.

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:38.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm saying you see her more than just a freeze

0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:40.760
<v Speaker 2>frame and that's all we've seen. We see her interacting,

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.600
<v Speaker 2>And yes, I say it reminded me of Kobe Bryant's

0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 2>daughter died with him in that helicopter crash.

0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I was at his funeral.

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 2>We saw all these pictures of his daughter, all these pictures,

0:12:48.920 --> 0:12:51.840
<v Speaker 2>but then at the funeral they had videos rolling of her.

0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:57.240
<v Speaker 2>I broke down because you find it was humanizing and wow,

0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 2>you're seeing this human being. And to your point, Robes,

0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:03.720
<v Speaker 2>I see Nancy Guthrie different today than I have into

0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.880
<v Speaker 2>two weeks we've been covering it because of that vision.

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.040
<v Speaker 4>She was brought to life. You're right for everybody, and

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.480
<v Speaker 4>you see her vibrancy, you see her.

0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:17.080
<v Speaker 3>The fact that she's alive and vibrant and a mother,

0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:21.480
<v Speaker 3>and you just feel like fighting for information to keep

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:24.679
<v Speaker 3>her alive because there she is alive on this video.

0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Hey, that was a good move.

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:29.439
<v Speaker 2>And I say that in that robe, it pulls at

0:13:29.440 --> 0:13:32.720
<v Speaker 2>you a little differently. It's a mystery. We're curious, we're

0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 2>even frustrated. Now you see that, and you're almost resilient

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.679
<v Speaker 2>yourself connected. You're like, okay, let's go figure, let's go

0:13:40.720 --> 0:13:42.000
<v Speaker 2>get this lady home.

0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Kind of a thing.

0:13:42.720 --> 0:13:45.360
<v Speaker 2>So seeing that, and you're adding to Rope, what the

0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.160
<v Speaker 2>what is this person doing with the one bitcoin?

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:49.880
<v Speaker 1>How can you?

0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:55.559
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fine, if just you can't braby for one bitcoin?

0:13:55.760 --> 0:14:00.080
<v Speaker 2>If you know who this kidnapper is and you're sitting

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 2>on it negotiating for a bitcoin, I don't believe it.

0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Let me just say that out loud. I actually don't.

0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:08.840
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't make any sense.

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.599
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't. But nobody's sitting around you.

0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I have a hard time believing there's somebody out there

0:14:13.320 --> 0:14:15.960
<v Speaker 2>who actually knows and wants one bitcoin.

0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.200
<v Speaker 3>Yes, because they want it right away, they want to

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 3>deposit it in their account. And I think your point is, yes,

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 3>if they were to go through the proper channels and

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.120
<v Speaker 3>get the FBI reward, even if it is nearly double

0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 3>the amount they're asking for, there would be a lot

0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 3>of time and red tape in order for them to

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:32.680
<v Speaker 3>actually get their hands on.

0:14:32.840 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 2>But I am going with humanity a little bit in

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 2>faith that there's not somebody out there doing this that

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.320
<v Speaker 2>knows they can solve the crime and is going to

0:14:39.360 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 2>continue to put the family through it for one bitcoin.

0:14:41.400 --> 0:14:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to say this is a hoax and that's

0:14:43.280 --> 0:14:44.480
<v Speaker 2>going to help me sleep a little better.

0:14:44.560 --> 0:14:47.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And I think that that's probably more likely than

0:14:47.400 --> 0:14:49.280
<v Speaker 3>not help. So I think it's more likely than not

0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:51.440
<v Speaker 3>because also think about this. Obviously, if you're going to

0:14:51.480 --> 0:14:53.920
<v Speaker 3>the FBI and you've got this vital information and you're

0:14:53.960 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 3>saying you're afraid of retaliation, they'll probably make sure you're

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 3>good until this person is arrested, and they'll make sure

0:15:00.520 --> 0:15:03.120
<v Speaker 3>you're safe. I would Maybe that's naive of me, but

0:15:03.160 --> 0:15:05.800
<v Speaker 3>I would absolutely think that there are protections in place

0:15:05.920 --> 0:15:10.000
<v Speaker 3>or they have the resources to make sure his fears are.

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Relief.

0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.840
<v Speaker 2>Hold out hope that there's not somebody out there willing

0:15:15.880 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to continue to put the family through this for one bitcoin,

0:15:19.040 --> 0:15:21.520
<v Speaker 2>and this is somebody trying to take advantage. That's awful too,

0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.800
<v Speaker 2>But I'm holding on to that robes Again, this is

0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:26.880
<v Speaker 2>a we did not expect to be doing this update,

0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.480

0:15:32.200 --> 0:15:34.760
