A shocking new development has emerged in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, with a $188,000 betting scandal now tied to the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother. People have wagered a substantial sum, over $188,000, on a prediction market called Polymarket, about the likelihood of an arrest by February 28. It’s truly a strange situation to see such a market develop around a missing person’s case.
According to Men’s Journal, the betting on the Guthrie case kicked off on February 10, just over a week after she was first reported missing on February 1. Initially, traders were assigning a high probability, 76% odds, of an arrest happening by the time the betting market was set to close. Polymarket’s X account was even sharing updates on the market in its early days.
