"A person claiming to have information about Nancy Guthrie's alleged kidnapper is offering to share what they know with TMZ for one Bitcoin valued at $66,000. The news and gossip site said it received a note promising a suspect's name around 5 a.m. on the West Coast and forwarded that letter to the FBI. It included deposit instructions tied to a Bitcoin wallet and said time is more than relevant."
"TMZ and two local outlets in Tucson had previously been contacted with ransom demands. The cryptocurrency account listed in the new note sent to TMZ is reportedly different from the initial wallet to which the Guthrie family was instructed to deposit $6 million for Nancy's safe return. The party hoping to collect money for information about the kidnapper told TMZ they unsuccessfully attempted to reach two of the missing woman's three children."
Nancy Guthrie, 84 with limited mobility, was reported missing from her southern Arizona home on Feb. 1. TMZ received a note offering a suspect's name in exchange for one Bitcoin valued at $66,000 and forwarded the letter and deposit instructions to the FBI. TMZ and two Tucson outlets had earlier received ransom demands instructing the Guthrie family to deposit $6 million into a different cryptocurrency wallet. The party offering information said they unsuccessfully tried to reach two of the missing woman's three children. Investigators recovered doorbell camera footage showing an armed masked figure and are focusing on gloves, backpack, and gun; the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward.
