The Bitcoin wallet associated with the ransom demand in the Guthrie kidnapping case has shown its first signs of activity, according to reports. Just 25 minutes before TMZ”s coverage, the wallet recorded a transaction, which has not been publicly detailed in terms of amount. This marks the first movement on the wallet since February 1, raising eyebrows about its connection to the ongoing investigation.
Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman with a pacemaker, was abducted from her home in Arizona. She requires daily medication and has been missing for over a week, prompting urgent action from her family and law enforcement. Her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, a co-host on NBC”s Today Show, has been vocal in her efforts to find her mother, sharing information and updates on social media platforms.
The ransom notes, which demanded $6 million for Nancy”s safe return, suggest that the kidnapper is familiar with the Tucson area, where the notes were sent to local media outlets. The authorities believe that the suspect resides nearby, given the strategic targeting of the media. Despite the ransom”s urgency, both deadlines for Nancy”s return have passed without any sign of her.
Recently, the FBI released new images of a suspect, which were distributed to law enforcement immediately after they were received. Savannah Guthrie shared these images on Instagram, emphasizing the family”s belief that her mother is still alive and pleading for her return.
In a major development, federal agents arrested a suspect in Arizona nine days after Nancy was reported missing. However, details regarding the individual arrested have not been disclosed publicly. The White House has acknowledged the case, with Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirming that President Donald Trump is personally monitoring the situation.
The FBI has offered a reward of $50,000 for information leading to Nancy”s whereabouts or the apprehension of the kidnapper. Tips can be submitted through the FBI”s hotline or their official website.
The Guthrie case has garnered significant media attention, intertwining the worlds of crime, federal law enforcement, and the cryptocurrency landscape.
