A ransom letter received regarding the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping offers potential clues to her whereabouts. The letter, reportedly demanding millions in bitcoin, suggests that Ms. Guthrie has not been taken too far from her abduction site in Arizona.
Law enforcement is using details within the letter to narrow the search radius. The correspondence implies Ms. Guthrie would be driven back to Tucson, indicating a location within a drivable distance, rather than a distant flight.
The letter, which arrived Tuesday, is noted for its educated and structured writing. It was sent to both TMZ and local Tucson news outlets. A first deadline for proof of life passed Thursday, with another expected Monday.
