Ashleigh also speaks with TMZ’s Harvey Levin, whose team received early communications in the case and worked with the FBI as investigators tried to trace the people behind them. Harvey reveals what TMZ did and did not receive, why he believed one mysterious tipster may have known something, and the moment the FBI suddenly stopped responding. As the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping mystery grows darker, the biggest questions remain unanswered: who took Nancy, where is she now, and did the ransom notes tell the truth?","meta_description":"A stunning new report is raising disturbing questions in the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, after sources say…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3309,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/drop-dead-serious-with-ashleigh-banfield-6923792/episodes/bombshell-nancy-guthrie-twist-ransom-note-claims-nancy-was-buried-with-nature/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/drop-dead-serious-with-ashleigh-banfield-6923792/bombshell-nancy-guthrie-twist-ransom-note-claims-nancy-was-buried-with-nature.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
