A similar ransom demand in another case—you won’t believe this!

On Breaking the Case with Jen Coffindaffer FBI, Jen examines the 1997 kidnapping of Federico del Toro, father of filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, and draws comparisons to the ransom demands in the Nancy Guthrie case. Federico was held for 72 days while his family negotiated with his captors. The ransom demands changed, deadlines were given, and multiple communications took place before a $1 million payment was ultimately made and Federico was returned alive. Jen explains why this case challenges some common assumptions about how kidnappers behave—including the idea that legitimate kidnappers won’t make repeated contacts, change demands, or extend deadlines. Could this case provide important context for understanding the ransom communications in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance? Break the Case
