A flurry of fluid activity surrounding Savannah Guthrie's missing mom is going down, as money was deposited into the Bitcoin account associated with a ransom letter from her possible abductors, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
It appeared shortly after 5 p.m. MST, as Pima County Sheriff's SWAT team officers were seen mobilizing from their headquarters and on the move, as the suspect reportedly lives in the Tucson area.
$300 Deposited Into Bitcoin Account

$300 was reportedly deposited into the Bitcoin account related to Nancy Guthrie's ransom note.
Tucson ABC affiliate KGUN 9 News, which received one of the ransom notes from the ailing grandmother's alleged abductors, reported that $300 was deposited into the verified account, and more may come.
NewsNation's Brian Entin, who was the first to get video of the blood splatters on Nancy's front porch two days after the abduction, reported that the FBI’s elite hostage rescue team is in Tucson, according to his sources, while the SWAT team and bomb squad were simultaneously on the move.
The flurry of activity came a mere hours after the FBI released a video and photos showing what appeared to be a masked man with a gun holster in his waistband disabling the Nest doorbell cam on Nancy's front door. He has been dubbed a "potential suspect."
'We Belive She Is Still Out There'

Savannah Guthrie shared a photo of the possible suspect in her mom's kidnapping.
Savannah shared the video the FBI retrieved from Nest's owner, Google, hoping someone would recognize the person's movements, clothing, or body shape.
"Someone out there recognizes this person. We believe she is still out there. Bring her home," the TODAY co-host pleaded in the caption. The video was the biggest break in her mother's case since the 10 days after she was taken from her home.
The suspect was seen moving at a fairly slow pace, initially approaching the front door and attempting to take the Nest cam while wearing heavily padded gloves. He then walked back, grabbed some scrub and plants from near the entryway, and tried to use them to cover the camera.
The person had a flashlight in his mouth while tampering with the camera, and appeared to have a mustache or other facial hair.
Ransom Note Deadlines

Video showed the man who disabled Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera had a gun holstered in his waistband.
The alleged ransom note was sent to several local Tucson TV news affiliates, as well as TMZ, 48 hours after Nancy vanished.
While it has yet to be verified, the note demanded "millions" be deposited into the verified Bitcoin account, with a deadline of February 5 at 5 p.m. MST.
It came and went without the kidnappers making contact with the Guthrie family, as Savannah's brother, Camron, shared an Instagram video shortly after the deadline.
In it, he pleaded, "We want to hear from you. We haven't heard anything directly. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate so we can move forward. But first, we have to know that you have our mom."
Savannah revealed in a video on Saturday that the captors had finally made contact, saying, "We received your message, and we understand," begging for her mother's return and stating, "We will pay."
The second deadline, 5 p.m. on Monday, February 9, came and went without any new developments at the time.

Nancy Guthrie's Terrifying Disappearance

Savannah Guthrie has been begging 'bring her home' about her missing mom since she was abducted.
Nancy was last seen when she was dropped off at home by a relative around 9:30 p.m. on January 31, after having dinner at her daughter, Annie, and son-in-law, Tomasso Cioni's, Tucson home.
The doorbell cam was disabled at 1:48 a.m. the following morning. About 20 minutes later, a person was detected on the home's cameras, which were later smashed.
Nancy's pacemaker stopped syncing with the Apple Watch at her home by 2:28 a.m, suggesting she had already been taken out of range of her residence and the device.
Those were the last clues as to Savannah's mother's whereabouts, as authorities struggled to gain any new leads or information about a suspect until the Nest camera video was finally recovered 10 days after Nancy's abduction.
