Nancy Guthrie investigators reviewing possible new ransom note
Investigators are assessing the note’s credibility as social media claims and a reported bitcoin demand add new twists to the missing-person case.
- On Monday, the Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI Guthrie task force confirmed they are reviewing a new possible ransom note in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Officials are working to determine the credibility of this alleged communication.
- Guthrie went missing from her Catalina Foothills home on Feb. 1, prompting a massive investigation. Authorities previously released two prior notes—one demanding $4 million in Bitcoin and another claiming she had died.
- YouTuber Jonathan Lee Riche alleged a contact received a bitcoin demand, prompting the official response. Riche describes himself as an "investigative reporter" on social media but holds no professional media credentials.
- Investigators are reviewing social media comments regarding the note while assessing its legitimacy. The FBI Phoenix office previously noted that some unconfirmed demands were deemed extortion attempts without legitimacy.
- Savannah Guthrie and her family have vowed to continue searching for the 84-year-old despite months of "agony" over the unresolved case. A reward totaling more than $1.2 million has been offered for information.
