Investigators say they believe the case is a kidnapping as two new notes surface and a former FBI agent suggests a bitcoin tactic.
- On Monday, TMZ received two new ransom notes from an individual claiming to have information on Nancy Guthrie's abduction, with one sender alleging they saw her alive in Sonora Mexico.
- Since Nancy vanished from her Catalina Foothills home on January 31, authorities have treated the case as a kidnapping, yet investigators have not identified a suspect or provided significant breakthroughs after more than two months.

- Ann Burgess of the FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit told NewsNation on Friday that Nancy may not have been the actual target, suggesting investigators examine those in her orbit for involvement.
- Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos maintains he knows the motive but refuses to elaborate citing investigation integrity, while Savannah Guthrie has publicly questioned whether her celebrity status influenced the kidnapping.
