Savannah Guthrie stepped out on the red carpet at the US Open Exhibition Match in New York for her first appearance since her mother Nancy Guthrie vanished in February, wearing a black floral dress with husband Michael Feldman by her side as authorities say there has been little progress in the case, with ransom notes released and a reward exceeding $1 million for information.
The FBI says ransom notes in Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona disappearance are split: some extortion demands are deemed illegitimate, while others remain under investigation as potentially legitimate in a kidnapping-for-ransom case, contrary to Reuters’ report that notes were fake; investigators tested one note with cryptocurrency but left the funds, and the search continues after surveillance showed a masked man on Guthrie’s porch.
