There were also reports of abductors sending a potential ransom note, to receive payments in the form of Bitcoin. However, that sender turned out to be a man from California, Derrick Callella, not related to the abduction.
He was arrested for harassment and threatening messages using text messages. Callella told investigator’s that he got the numbers of Savannah’s sister Annie and her husband from the website and decided to send them a message.
He allegedly wanted to see if they would respond to him. However, police were not able to establish any connection between the ransom demand received on Feb. 2 and Callella’s texts.
Savannah Guthrie also mentioned being worried about her mother’s health. She said that the woman is 84 years old and lives in constant pain. Moreover, due to her fragile health, not getting daily medication can be fatal to her.
All three of Nancy’s children are grieving and hoping for their mother’s safe return. Annie called her the light and beacon in their lives. She said their mother has been through great trials but still holds on to joy.
