Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos still has no suspects. The case has been frozen for weeks. Whether this is a breakthrough or another dead end, the FBI now has two contradictory claims to chase down.
The notes reek of either a sick hoax or someone with actual intel trying to cash in. The sender insists they're not greedy, just want "what's fair" to "start life again quietly without witness protection." Levin noted they could face serious charges for the extortion attempt.
Timing is wild — this all dropped the same day Savannah Guthrie returned to the "Today" show for the first time since her mom vanished on February 1. She's been off-air for two months dealing with the nightmare.
The sender is getting frustrated. They've been "persistent" since February 11, complaining law enforcement dismisses them as a scam despite "millions wasted" on the investigation. Claims they've been outside the US for 5+ years and had nothing to do with the "horrific crime."
Harvey Levin broke the news on "TMZ Live" — first note demanded 0.5 BTC for the location and kidnapper's identity. Minutes later, a second note contradicted the first, claiming Guthrie was spotted alive across the border. TMZ alerted the FBI immediately.
TMZ got hit with two more ransom notes today claiming to know where Nancy Guthrie's body is — same sender who demanded bitcoin back in February. This time: half a bitcoin upfront, half on arrest. The kicker? One note says she's dead, the next claims she was seen alive in Sonora, Mexico.
