Ransom note in Nancy Guthrie kidnapping demands two multi-million dollar payments

Authorities say an apparent ransom note connected to the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie demanded two separate multi-million-dollar payments in bitcoin, with a final deadline passing unpaid. Sources say the note initially demanded $4 million by Thursday, February 5, with the amount increasing to $6 million by Monday, February 9 if the demand was not met. As of Monday afternoon, investigators confirmed no funds had been transferred to the bitcoin account listed in the message. Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her Tucson home on January 31 and is believed to have been taken against her will. Blood found on the exterior porch of her home has been confirmed as hers. The FBI says the note did not include proof of life or a clear method for communication. A separate individual has since been arrested for sending a fake ransom note unrelated to the case. As the deadline approached, Savannah Guthrie posted emotional pleas online asking for the public’s help in locating her mother. The FBI is now offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery or an arrest.
