"The email says he's contacting TMZ because he doesn't trust law enforcement, the TMZ report said, continuing: He suggests the reward being doubled to $100,000 was a move designed to discredit me. As we reported, the man demanded 1 bitcoin to give up the name and location of the kidnapper. That 1 bitcoin currently worth around $68,000. Now he wants that $100,000 FBI reward, and here's how."
"The report said the third email points to there being more than one individual responsible for the kidnapping. The email also refers to the current state of Nancy Guthrie, TMZ reported, adding, we will not be specific. He's asking for a fraction of bitcoin worth $50,000, and in return, he will give up the information, and then he expects another $50,000 in bitcoin. He promises not to withdraw the first $50K until the kidnapper is arrested."
Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing from her Arizona home for 13 days. The FBI increased the reward to $100,000 for information leading to her location or arrests and released new identifying details about the suspect. A person claiming to know the kidnapper's identity sent multiple emails offering the information in exchange for bitcoin, first demanding 1 bitcoin and later proposing a split payment of roughly $50,000 now and $50,000 after an arrest. The third message suggests more than one person was involved and refers to Guthrie's condition without specifics. New doorbell and neighborhood video show a man attempting to obscure his face and wearing a black Ozark Trail 25-liter backpack.
