Bitcoin payments continue to play a role in the quest for clues about the whereabouts of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old whose mysterious abduction earlier this month has captivated the nation. In the latest development, a Tucson native has created a GoFundMe account with the goal of buying Bitcoin to get information about what happened to the mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie. 

The GoFundMe campaign has not gained much traction, having raised just about $1,500 out of its $65,000 goal. Shawn Breeden of Tucson, where Guthrie disappeared, organized the campaign and wrote on the page, “Every bit of support helps bring this tragic event closer to an end.” Breeden did not immediately respond to a request for an interview.
