The hunt for the "Hiker from Hell" is officially on. The FBI has just slapped a massive $100,000 bounty on the masked predator who snatched 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home. As the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother hits a desperate Day 12, investigators have narrowed the target to a suspect carrying a specific black Ozark Trail hiker pack. But the mystery goes deeper. Chilling letters sent to TMZ demand a Bitcoin ransom, with a cryptic tipster warning: “I am not being taken seriously.”

The disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie has escalated into one of the most closely watched investigations in the United States. What began as a missing-person report in Catalina Foothills, Arizona, has now evolved into a full-scale FBI-led abduction probe, with disturbing new evidence reshaping the case. Former FBI analysts say the backpack, believed to resemble an Ozark Trail Hiker model, points to a low-cost but deliberate operation, raising the possibility that purchase records could become a key investigative lead. Authorities are now tracing potential retail connections that may help identify the suspect’s movements. WATCH

During a press briefing, reporters questioned White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt about a document referencing a 2006 phone call allegedly involving Donald Trump during the Epstein investigation. The claim, drawn from a 2019 FBI summary, cites former Palm Beach Police Chief Michael Reiter, who reportedly described Trump reacting to the Epstein probe by saying, “Thank goodness you’re stopping him,” and referring to Ghislaine Maxwell as “evil.” Rather than directly confirming or denying whether the call occurred, Leavitt deflected the question. She instead repeated Trump’s long-standing defense, that he removed Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after learning of his behavior, avoiding any verification of the specific 2006 call referenced in the document.
