New Ransom Note Demands Crypto, Threatens Graphic Details

A new, sophisticated ransom note has surfaced in the ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. This latest demand, received via email, differs from the original by requesting cryptocurrency other than Bitcoin, though the amount remains similar to the initial $6 million figure. The communication reportedly includes graphic details threatening severe consequences if the demand is not met.

The FBI is actively pursuing leads and has escalated its efforts by contacting federal Mexican law enforcement agencies to be on alert. While one claim suggests Guthrie may have been taken "south of the border," authorities are exploring various possibilities, including clandestine transport into Mexico. Despite extensive checks of border cameras and electronic devices, no definitive evidence of her crossing into Mexico has been found.

Law enforcement is meticulously investigating all angles, including reviewing doorbell camera footage for potential clues and collaborating with retailers like Walmart to identify items used. They are also warning individuals sending fake ransom letters to the family that they will face severe federal punishment. A significant $100,000 reward is offered for information leading to Nancy Guthrie's recovery or the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
