Crypto payments are playing a growing role in the fast-moving disappearance case of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of the ‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie. On Tuesday, there was activity in the Bitcoin account listed in a recent ransom note, TMZ reported. TMZ and two other local Arizona outlets, KGUN 9 and KOLD, previously reported receiving a ransom note, in which the purported kidnappers asked for Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy Guthrie.
On Wednesday, another letter was sent to TMZ, demanding a Bitcoin payment in exchange for information about the kidnapper. This new note asked for 1 Bitcoin, equivalent to about $70,000, and cites a legitimate Bitcoin address.
