Ransom deadline expires in just hours as manhunt for Savannah Guthrie's mom drags on: cops

Two reported ransom deadlines have emerged in the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, with just hours remaining on the first such deadline.

Multiple media outlets, including TMZ and Tucson, Arizona, stations, received unverified ransom demands demanding millions in Bitcoin with a stated deadline and threats to kill Nancy Guthrie.

Around noon local time on Thursday, Heith Janke, FBI Phoenix’s special agent in charge, told reporters that one of the reported ransom notes had a deadline of 5 p.m. Thursday. He confirmed a second deadline was set for Monday, Feb. 9, but didn't elaborate about what the second deadline entails.

Authorities reiterated that they have not identified a prime suspect or a person of interest in the disappearance, and said anyone connected to the case could be considered a suspect. He also confirmed that blood found on the porch outside Nancy Guthrie’s home tested positive for her DNA.

The news comes as the Pima County Sheriff's Department officials announced a $50K reward for information. It also comes after the family shared a heart-wrenching plea to social media on Wednesday, addressed to the kidnapper, asking for proof she's alive.

Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned

The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals Ethereum’s (ETH) Future Plans – Here’s What’s Planned appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin presented the network’s new roadmap, which includes its short-, medium-, and long-term goals, at the Developer Conference held in Japan today. Scalability, cross-layer compatibility, privacy, and security were the prominent topics in Buterin’s speech. Buterin stated that the short-term focus will be on increasing gas limits on the Ethereum mainnet (L1). He said that tools such as block-level access lists, ZK-EVMs, gas price restructuring, and slot optimization will be used in this context. The goal is to maintain the network’s decentralization while increasing scalability. The medium-term goal is to enable trustless asset transfers between Layer-2 (L2) networks and achieve faster transaction finality. In this context, “Stage 2 Rollup” solutions, proof-of-conduct combinations, and optimizations for reading data from L1 are on the agenda. Furthermore, network optimizations such as shortening slot times, fast finality protocols, and erasure coding are planned to improve user experience and security. Buterin emphasized that privacy is a priority for both the short and medium term. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs, anonymous pools, encrypted voting, and scrambling network solutions are highlighted to protect the privacy of users’ on-chain payments, voting, DeFi transactions, and account changes. Furthermore, secure execution environments, secret query techniques, and the ability to conceal fraudulent requests and data access patterns are also targeted when reading data from the chain. Buterin’s long-term vision highlights a minimalist, secure, and simple Ethereum. This roadmap includes resistance to the risks posed by quantum computers, securing the protocol with mathematical methods (formal verification), and transitioning to ideal cryptographic solutions. Buterin stated that these strategic steps will transform Ethereum into a more scalable, user-friendly, and secure infrastructure. With the strengthening of L2 networks, more users will be able to use Ethereum with less trust assumptions. The ultimate goal is for Ethereum to become a reliable foundational infrastructure for global…
