Will today's ransom deadline be met for the return of Nancy Guthrie?

Experts suggest the two ransom notes using separate deadlines show extensive planning and an attempt to control the investigation. As investigators attempt to determine the veracity of the notes, the Guthrie family is forced to treat the notes as real.

The replies also share insight into the content of the notes. In their first posted video response, the Guthries asked for "proof of life."

The family's third reply no longer seeks this proof and says, "We will pay."

The most recent reply message no longer seeks this proof and says, "We will pay."

Shortly after the release of the Guthrie family video, deputies arrived back on the scene at the home of Nancy Guthrie. In contrast, a significant presence of law enforcement arrives at the home of Annie Guthrie for a late-night search, continuing for hours.

This is at least the second time Annie's home has been searched, and law enforcement is not answering questions.

The search lasted for more than three hours, ending around 10:30 pm, with officers coming out of the house wearing blue gloves and carrying brown bags.
