Dark Secret Emerging? New Clues Suggest the Kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie May Be Tied to Savannah

Nancy Guthrie’s abduction is more likely connected to daughter Savannah Guthrie than motivated by money, according to an expert.

Despite the alleged ransom note demanding millions, former CIA member and FBI special agent Tracy Walder doesn’t believe the potential kidnappers are only after the “Today” show anchor’s money.

“I am not convinced it’s fully about money. Her salary is for the most part public, but there are other people who make more money than she does,” the NewsNation contributor tells Page Six.

Walder continued to theorize, “I, in my gut, feel like this is someone that either had some kind of obsession with Savannah because of how high profile she is, and this was a way to potentially get to her. Or this is a person that has some kind of beef with Savannah because of whatever story she covered or whoever she interviewed.

“I think you can kind of go two different ways. Someone who had a full obsession with her, or someone that was upset with her.”

“Savannah is such a public person,” Walder added. “I don’t think she would have ever thought something like this could happen, but I think it’s a reminder to us that we need to make sure [personal information] stays private.”

Authorities revealed during a press conference on Thursday that the ransom note allegedly had a 5 p.m. MT deadline for Feb. 5, with a second on Monday.
