What are the odds of Nancy Guthrie still being alive?

[LurkerNoMore]

I am saying less than 5%.

And who tries to collect a ransom in today's times?   It has to be all but impossible.  You can't do it in person.  Any digital or bank exchange is going to be monitored and traced.  Collecting money at this point is the best way to get caught.

Who would have even thought to kidnap her other than a family member?

Who kidnaps a senior citizen, that is in her last days, for a ransom? I’m sure Lurker is right that she is gone, and these geniuses didn’t realize an elderly person isn’t that best choice to keep as a long term hostage.

It’s likely it’s someone that had a connection to her thinking this was going to be quick and easy, snatching a frail old woman. At this point something went wrong with their plan.

I would be stunned if she comes back alive.

It's bizarre and suspicious that she took an Uber to her daughter's home for dinner. Why would they not pick her up if she wasn't able to drive?

what are the odds anyone cares other than her family?

Good point.........unfortunae ly.

I read that TMZ had someone contact them saying they would reveal the kidnapper for one single bitcoin. Lurker, it isn't possible to collect bitcoin anonymously? I thought it was still possible.

She's buried out in the desert I bet. It'll be family or a helper that did it.

Sadly, not very high. I'd say quite low.

Probably because they may have been busy, umm....  like... cooking the dinner?

I don't think so.  Remember about 10 years ago the bitcoin heist?  They tracked that.  And you know they only implemented more security protocols afterwards.    Maybe they can.  I am not overly familiar with crypto anyway.

It would be a hilarious twist of fate if she engineered her own "kidnapping" and is currently sitting on a beach in Rio waiting for some 20 year old Brazilian guy to bone her again. 

I couldn't imagine kidnapping an elderly person.  You would never hear the end of "young man", or "back in my day" or "turn on the heat, it's cold in here" complaining.

Im the hopeless optimist, i think it may be 6%
