"To those imposters who are trying to take advantage and profit from this situation, we will investigate and ensure you are held accountable for your actions,"
A Torrance man, Derrick Callella, allegedly sent text messages to Nancy Guthrie's daughter and son-in-law demanding Bitcoin shortly after Nancy's reported abduction from her Arizona home. The messages followed a local Tucson outlet's receipt of a ransom demand that included a Bitcoin wallet address. Callella allegedly used an application to create a fake phone number tied to an email address associated with him. He allegedly admitted sending the messages after Miranda warnings. He is charged with transmitting a demand for ransom and intending to abuse, threaten, or harass via a telecommunication device. Authorities say he is not linked to the initial ransom demand.
