There might be someone who can help find Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers — but the information comes with a steep price.
In an email sent to TMZ, an individual who claims to know more about the case requested 1 bitcoin in exchange for the identity of her kidnapper. The cryptocurrency would amount to about $65,000, which they claimed would be needed to lay low.
However, they sent a follow-up, worrying they were “not being taken seriously.” They further explained that the message was their final attempt to lend a hand.
The source expressed fear over retaliation. Plus, they worried that law enforcement might make some wrong assumptions and they’d end up “incriminated like that Carlos [the deliveryman who was detained and released] guy.”
The account for deposit has seen no activity as of writing.
While the original deal from local law enforcement was $2,500, the feds upped the ante when they stepped in. The source’s request surpasses the current offer on the deal by the FBI, who put out a $50,000 reward in exchange for information that leads to the arrest of the kidnappers.
Nancy, the mother of Savannah Guthrie, went missing from her home on February 1. She was reported missing to authorities after failing to show up to a Sunday worship with friends.
Investigators immediately sent out a search and rescue squad with homicide experts called to the scene. After immediate efforts, the FBI, under the direction of Kash Patel, was sent to Tucson to assist.
