A purported Nancy Guthrie ransom note demanded up to $6 million in Bitcoin after the 84-year-old disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on 31 January, crime journalist Briana Whitney has disclosed during an episode of the Crime Junkie podcast.
The note addressed Guthrie's daughter, Savannah Guthrie, and claimed Nancy was being held alive while payment was sought. Yet, the FBI has not authenticated the note, and a reported assessment of the widely circulated February messages found them not credible.
