A new ransom demand and Bitcoin wallet activity have emerged in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie.
On Wednesday (February 11), TMZ received a third letter demanding 1 Bitcoin (approximately $67,500) in exchange for information about those responsible for the 84-year-old's abduction. This follows previous ransom notes sent to multiple media outlets demanding millions in cryptocurrency.
The case took another turn Tuesday when a small Bitcoin transaction was recorded in the wallet address cited in earlier ransom demands. Authorities have not confirmed who initiated the transfer or whether it was connected to the investigation.
The FBI recently released surveillance footage showing a masked individual tampering with Guthrie's Google Nest camera. "Working with our partners, as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance," FBI Director Kash Patel stated.
