As the search continues for Nancy Guthrie, the lacking mom of Today Show cohost Savannah Guthrie, the father of JonBenet Ramsey appeared on Fox News to give new insight into what the household is experiencing.
John Ramsey, now 82, confronted intense media scrutiny after his 6-year-old daughter, JonBenet, was discovered murdered in the household’s basement on Christmas Day in 1996, with a ransom word left for the household before her physique was discovered.
Now, as points surrounding an alleged ransom for the lacking Nancy Guthrie continue to raise new questions about her case, Ramsey, whose daughter’s homicide stays a cold case 30 years later, has shared his own insight on what Savannah, 54, and the remaining of her household have been enduring, based on his own experiences while JonBenet was briefly lacking.
Ramsey appeared on the Friday, February 6, episode of Fox and Friends, where he spoke with Ainsley Earhardt, about his own expertise in a comparable state of affairs.
During the interview, he opened up about whether or not the household ought to pay the ransom demanded in a word they acquired, which allegedly contained two different deadlines, and the most important steps they needed to take to strive to obtain a constructive end result.

“No, not unless they know that she’s alive,” he said when Earhardt requested if the ransom needs to be paid. “And that’s what we were prepared to require in JonBenet’s case. We had the money ready, but our plan, we were supposed to get a call and our plan was let me talk to my daughter, and if she’s alive, we’ll get the money to you and get her back.”
“I think the important thing for the family is to make sure the police are doing everything that can be done,” he added. “You know we have 18,000 police jurisdictions in this country and some of them are small, and some of them are big, but none of them are competent in everything and the key is that they insist the police accept help from whoever offers it. The FBI can bring in a huge amount of resources if they’re asked.”
He also mirrored on the expertise the household is probably going going through, as he addressed initial considerations he had been accountable for his daughter’s disappearance and death, admitting that in those conditions, households don’t even care about suspicion on them.
“We got a call, a kind of anonymous call that was, ‘Tell John to get the best attorney he can get his hands on, because they think he killed his daughter,’” he said. “That was before any evidence came in or before any forensic information. It didn’t matter to me, I’d lost my child.”

“And whatever, you know…you’re in shock..it didn’t matter, we didn’t care. We lost our child, that was the most horrible thing that could have happened to us,” he continued. “I wouldn’t even say we were on autopilot; we were just in a devastated, crushed mode.”
The phase was replayed later in the show, as Earhardt’s co-host, Brian Kilmeade, mentioned the Guthrie case with a former FBI profiler, Mary Ellen O’Toole, as he sought more data on what the state of affairs households went through was like.
“Mary Ellen, they have to look at the family, do you think they’re still looking at the family? But it’s hard when you’re the family member, knowing that they’re scrutinizing you,” Kilmeade said.
“It’s very difficult, you can’t even put into words what the families go through, but yes, in a crime like this, whether it’s the abduction of a child or an adult family member, you absolutely have to rule out people close to the victim. If you don’t, then you can never go back in time and do it.”
