Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1st and was last seen in her house on the evening of January 31st. Since then, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office have been hard at work trying to figure out where Nancy Guthrie may have been taken. Traces of blood found on her porch have been matched to her.
The FBI also recovered doorbell camera footage of a possible suspect, who was seen trying to tamper with the doorbell camera itself. Authorities have also found a glove that seemed to belong to the suspect who was captured on camera. The FBI put out a reward for information that could lead to the safe return of Nancy Guthrie, and has since upped that reward to $100,000.

The FBI has reached out to Mexican federal agencies. TMZ has revealed that it has received a fifth ransom letter from the kidnappers of Nancy Guthrie. There are no suspects in the case as of the writing of this article. The FBI has reached out to Mexico to keep all law enforcement in the loop. The TMZ had previously received two other ransom notes.
While previous ransom notes specifically demanded that the ransom payout be in bitcoins, the demands have since changed to cryptocurrency. The news outlet put out a statement saying that the details of the letter outlined consequences for non-payment of the ransom. They were too graphic to share, and therefore, TMZ didn’t share full content of the letter.
The ransom that has been asked for the safe return of Nancy Guthrie, according to the letter, is $6 million. All of this information has been forwarded to federal investigators. TMZ also noted that the account number to transfer the cryptocurrency to in the most recent letter differs from the one that was provided before.
