Nancy Guthrie, the mother of 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her Arizona home in February. The kidnappers left behind a ransom note demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin within seven days.

The note also included specific details about Nancy's home, suggesting that the kidnappers had been inside. This has led authorities to believe that they may have been planning this crime for some time.

The family and FBI are offering a combined reward of $1.1 million for information leading to Nancy's safe return. However, as the ransom notes were also sent to several news outlets, it is unclear how many of them were authentic.
