Alleged Bitcoin Ransom Deepens Mystery in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance
The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie is complicated by an unverified, alleged Bitcoin ransom note demanding millions.Summary
The investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of Savannah Guthrie, has intensified following reports of an alleged Bitcoin ransom demand. TMZ reported receiving a note demanding a substantial payment in Bitcoin, reportedly in the millions, with a deadline and threats, accompanied by a verifiable wallet address. The note also referenced specific details about Guthrie's clothing and damage to her Tucson-area home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed law enforcement is aware of the circulating notes but stressed their authenticity has not been verified, noting that opportunistic hoaxes are possible in high-profile cases. Nancy Guthrie was reported missing February 1st after failing to appear at church; evidence at her home, including signs of forced entry and a blood trail, suggests foul play. Due to her need for life-sustaining medication and limited mobility, her safe return is a priority. Savannah Guthrie has taken leave from the *Today* show to focus on the search.
