A new ransom note has been received in the case of Savannah Guthrie’s missing mom Nancy, with another very specific demand.
The note, which has now been passed to the FBI, made a sinister statement at the end that will certainly focus the bureau’s attention.
Nancy Guthrie has been missing for over 10 days
Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since February 1, when she failed to show up at a friend’s house to watch a church service.
In the intervening time, ransom notes have been received containing details of a price to be paid and deadlines that have since passed.
Police have searched the area around the house, and recently released images and video that show a masked and armed suspect attempting to tamper with the doorbell camera at the property belonging to Guthrie.
A man was also arrested and questioned before being released, and so far it seems as if law enforcement are not close to apprehending any credible suspect.
Now, according to TMZ, another note has been received, with another demand that could see Guthrie returned, but a sinister threat at the end.
This time, the note contains a link to a different bitcoin wallet - the previous one demanded $6,000,000 - and a much simpler demand, which would result in the identity of the kidnappers being revealed.
It is not clear how credible this note is, but TMZ claim it has since been passed to the FBI, who will be taking it seriously.
Demands and veiled threat in new Nancy Guthrie ransom note
Received at 5:00AM PST on February 11, the sender of the note - according to the reports - attempted to contact the Guthrie family, Savannah, her brother Camron, and sister Annie by email and text before sending the note to the news agency.
The note allegedly says: "If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet.”
It ends with the disturbing comment: “Time is more than relevant."
TMZ claims to have verified the bitcoin account as genuine, and that it is a different account to the first note received by the publication and other news stations.
The FBI is currently offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to those who allegedly took Nancy Guthrie, whereas one bitcoin is currently worth around $66,000.
