FBI Contacts Mexican Authorities in Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping, New Ransom Demand
The FBI has involved Mexican authorities after a $6 million cryptocurrency ransom demand amid ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance from Tucson.
- An email described as a ransom-style demand was forwarded to the FBI, demanding cryptocurrency other than bitcoin near $6,000,000, TMZ disclosed on Wednesday.
- Nancy Guthrie was reported missing in Tucson on February 1 after being last seen at home in the Catalina Foothills on January 31, and in recent weeks TMZ received four notes requesting one bitcoin.
- Neither the FBI nor the Pima County Sheriff's Department has verified the notes, but Levin said the FBI is `very interested` and has communicated regularly with the outlet.
- Law enforcement contacted authorities in Mexico after a note asserted Guthrie had been taken across the border and is in Mexico, but the family has not received proof of life.
- Amid demands for millions, TMZ founder Harvey Levin reversed his stance by revealing another ransom note within 24 hours, which graphically describes consequences if payment isn't made.
