Nancy Guthrie Update: What I Was Just Told... | TMZ

Photo of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper taken some days before she was abducted has resulted in no leads We have been talking with FBI sources who are telling us that The way they got this photo was through Google because Nancy did not have a subscription for video from nest They were actually able to obtain it from Google the way they did the video, but because there's no video subscription, there was no

timestamp on this. So based on their investigation, they believe that the photo could have been taken on January 11th. This is weeks before the kidnapping, but they're not sure of that. It could have been January 11th, this is weeks before the kidnapping, but they're not sure of that. It could have been January 11th, that is an operating theory, they are not sure of that. They wanna make that clear.

We know that they have swept the area for video from neighbors, anywhere they could get it. It has resulted in no leads with respect to identifying a vehicle or a suspect. They are frustrated about this. Now, I do want to say one other thing. Kash Patel had said shortly after the kidnapping that that photo was taken the day of the kidnapping.

That is incorrect. We know that. It was taken before the kidnapping, but again, the operating theory, January 11th, they're not certain of that. Let's talk about Savannah's new video where she says the family is offering a million dollars and acknowledging that it would be a miracle

if her mom is still alive. We are told the FBI never told the family that the chances of finding their mom alive was slim to none. They never said anything about it. This is something that the family

kinda came to terms with on their own, we're told. The FBI's $100,000 reward still stands. So $1.1 million is on the table right now, leading to the return of Nancy Guthrie. The FBI wants people to call it, not necessarily calling Pima, because you then have two law enforcement agencies, you have cross signals, so it's 1-800-CALL-FBI. They want serious leads only, and they want to make it clear, anybody who's trying to

scam the Guthrie family, they will be prosecuted. The last thing, and something I think is very interesting, is I spoke with one source from the FBI who said, the reality is this is becoming a cold case. But that doesn't mean it's over. And this source was talking about something that we've seen many times, where you could have a kidnapper at a bar one night,

drinking, and then bragging about what he or she did. You could have a girlfriend of the kidnapper at the time, who then becomes an ex-girlfriend who knows information and goes to authorities. Or that girlfriend could be the one to actually go to a bar, go to a store, go somewhere and either talk about it directly or insinuate something that is interesting enough to pursue. So even though this is becoming a cold case, and it is clearly one of the reasons why

the Guthrie family is up the reward, that doesn't mean it's over. As one FBI source put it, it just takes that one person, and they believe it's going to happen at and they believe it's going to happen at some point. One person who opens his or her mouth and the case cracks wide open.
