"So an hour and a half ago, we got kind of a bizarre letter, an email from somebody who says they know who the kidnapper is and that they have tried reaching Savannah's sister Annie and Savannah's brother to no avail. And they said they want one bitcoin sent to a bitcoin address that we have confirmed is active. It's a real Bitcoin address. And as they put it, time is more than relevant."
"It's interesting that, you know, bitcoins fluctuate in value, but it's around $56,000 now, one bitcoin, which is about the amount that the authorities are offering for information leading to the return of Nancy. So I don't know if that aligns, but whoever sent this, and they actually give a name and an email address, but whoever sent this is asking for around that amount via Bitcoin for information that they say leads directly to the person, he added of the unverified third communication."
TMZ received a third communication claiming knowledge of the person who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie and demanding one bitcoin to a confirmed active Bitcoin address. The sender claimed attempts to contact Savannah Guthrie's sister Annie and brother were unsuccessful and emphasized urgency. The requested one bitcoin roughly equals $56,000, which approximately matches the authorities' reward for information leading to Nancy's return. TMZ did not receive the second letter reportedly sent to another affiliate, and the new communication remains unverified. Authorities and outlets have not confirmed the authenticity or the source of the demand.
