Federal agents have arrested a suspect in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation,<\/p>\n
but officials say it is not the breakthrough many hoped for.<\/p>\n
Authorities allege that 84-year-old Nancy, mother of Savannah Guthrie,<\/p>\n
was targeted by an opportunist who sent bitcoin-related ransom messages to<\/p>\n
the family. Investigators believe the communication was a hoax rather<\/p>\n
than evidence of involvement in her disappearance.<\/p>\n
According to the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the District of Arizona,<\/p>\n
Derrick Callella was arrested in Hawthorne, California, on February 5.<\/p>\n
He faces federal charges related to sending ransom demands and<\/p>\n
making a threatening call. Officials say he allegedly used a VOIP application<\/p>\n
to disguise his identity and later admitted attempting to provoke a response.<\/p>\n
The Federal Bureau of Investigation emphasized that Callella is not<\/p>\n
charged with Nancy\u2019s suspected abduction. The case remains active,<\/p>\n
with a $50,000 reward offered for information leading to her safe recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
