Savannah Guthrie’s desperate appeal to her mom Nancy’s alleged captors is a strong signal that the “Today” star’s family has yet to receive a legitimate ransom demand, according to former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe. “To me, it reads like an effort to establishment some sort of communication,” McCabe told CNN late Wednesday. “We don’t know this for sure, but I feel this is a fairly strong signal they don’t believe they’ve had a legitimate ransom demand yet.” “What you hear the family saying is ‘We’re ready to talk, reach out to us, we just want to know you have our mother. That’s not something that you would do if already in negotiations with someone that you actually thought had the victim.”
