A unique fundraising effort is underway to locate Nancy Guthrie, with a GoFundMe page established by Tucson resident Shawn Breeden. The campaign aims to collect cryptocurrency, specifically Bitcoin, which the Guthrie family could use to pay for crucial information regarding Nancy's location.
This initiative comes after demands for one Bitcoin, a sum currently valued at approximately $65,000, were made in exchange for the alleged kidnapper's identity. The funds raised on the GoFundMe could also be donated to law enforcement to support the extensive ongoing investigation.
Authorities are actively pursuing several leads. Recently, investigators collected DNA from a glove believed to belong to the suspect. This evidence is undergoing analysis through the FBI's CODIS database in hopes of identifying a match.
