His mother’s disappearance remains unsolved
The journalist’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on January 31 when entering your home.
His disappearance was reported the next day, after he did not attend a digital religious service, which set off alarms among family and friends.
Days later, the FBI released images of a suspect: a masked and armed figure who was caught manipulating the home’s security camera.
Since then, the family has received several notes demanding Bitcoin money in exchange for information about Nancy. However, authorities have not been able to confirm its authenticity.
