SHOCKING EXPOSÉ: Former Hostage Negotiator Drops BOMBSHELL — These RED FLAGS Prove Nancy Guthrie’s “Kidnapping” Was FAKE All Along… You Won’t Believe What He Just Revealed!!!
A former top FBI official has raised doubts about whether Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom, Nancy, is really still alive and being held by kidnappers.
“I’m very skeptical of this,” former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told Fox News’ “The Big Weekend Show” on Sunday.

“Is this really a kidnapping? Does somebody really have her, and is she really alive?” he said of the fiends claiming to have her.
The former FBI bigwig voiced his suspicions after Savannah Guthrie and her two siblings took to social media to plead with their mother’s apparent abductor to return her — as they agreed to pay up to the abductors demanding $6 million ransom.
“If this was a kidnapping, it would be a very simple matter to authenticate and provide proof of life,” Swecker said, noting that no evidence had been “credibly authenticated at this point.”
“You have to allow for the possibility that this was something more or something other than a kidnapping.”
Swecker also pointed to the ransom demands being reported, which skyrocketed from $1 million to a reported $6 million in a matter of days.

“Remember now, it was 1 million not too long ago. All of a sudden, it’s 6 million,” Swecker told the outlet.
“I really think there’s a third party here that’s just playing with them, opportunists who think they can exploit this situation.”
At least two purported ransom messages have surfaced since the “Today” show anchor’s ailing mom vanished from her Tucson home.
The first purported ransom note, which was sent to multiple media outlets a week ago, laid out two deadlines — one on Thursday, which passed, and a second on Monday, FBI officials said.
