00:00Authorities provided a chilling update on the search for Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy, on Thursday.
00:05Among the information they disclosed, confirmation of a ransom note that set a deadline of 5 p.m.
00:11Mountain Time last night. Right after that deadline, Savannah's brother Cameron recorded
00:16this impassioned plea to the kidnappers. Whoever is out there holding our mother,
00:21we want to hear from you. We haven't heard anything directly. We need you to reach out
00:26and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first, we have to know that
00:31you have our mom. We want to talk to you and we are waiting for contact. Now, the ransom note is a
00:37bit unusual because it also included a second deadline for Monday. Exactly what else was
00:42written, we don't know. But the note did include pieces of information about the crime scene,
00:47things only law enforcement or the kidnappers would know. And that is what has investigators
00:52taking the whole thing seriously. The specific details concern Nancy's Apple Watch and a floodlight
00:57on her property. The FBI special agent in charge noted that not contacting the family is abnormal
01:04in a kidnapping like this, but that investigators are continuing to treat this as a, quote,
01:09normal kidnapping. Also on Thursday, the Post spoke to one of Nancy Guthrie's neighbors who said he
01:15spotted a suspicious white van parked in the street in the days before her disappearance. He thought it
01:21odd enough that there were no markings for a business that he spoke to the police about it.
01:27We also got some disturbing new details about the timeline of Nancy's abduction
01:31from authorities on Thursday. At 5.32 on Saturday evening, Nancy took an Uber to a family member's
01:37nearby home. At 9.48, she was dropped back off at her house and her garage door opened.
01:42That garage door closed two minutes later, so 9.50. Then at 1.47 a.m. on Sunday morning,
01:49four hours later, her doorbell camera disconnects. At 2.12 a.m., software tied to the security camera
01:55detects a person. The sheriff said they haven't been able to get that video because Nancy didn't
02:01subscribe to the service that holds on to such captures. And without it, there's no way to prove
02:06it was actually a person and not, say, an animal. This takes us to 2.28 a.m. when Nancy's pacemaker
02:12disconnects from her phone. The next nine and a half hours are basically a black hole. There's
02:17nothing until the family checks in on her shortly before noon Sunday morning after she missed church.
02:22A 911 call was placed less than 10 minutes later. Now, as for who the police are looking at as a
02:28possible suspect, well, they're casting a wide net. When the sheriff was asked whether Savannah
02:35Guthrie's brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, the last person to see Nancy that night, had been eliminated
02:40as a possible suspect, he said this. We're actively looking at everybody we come across in this case.
02:47Everybody. We would be irresponsible if we didn't talk to everybody. The Uber driver, the gardener,
02:57the pool person, whoever. Everybody is so cliche. But everybody's still a suspect in our eyes. That's
03:04just how we look at things and think as cops. Does that mean we have a prime suspect? No. And
03:10the family's been very cooperative. The sheriff also said with all the information his team had
03:15unearthed that he believes Nancy is, quote, still out there.
