Overview
- More than two months after Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1, investigators have not named a suspect and continue to treat the case as a ransom abduction.
- Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer suggested the ransom notes may include scripture that points to a kidnapper with a "God complex" and a money-first motive.
- TMZ reported receiving new messages that demanded about half a bitcoin for information, and FBI efforts to trace the sender and the Bitcoin address have not identified anyone.
- A genetic genealogist said saliva from a flashlight seen in doorbell video could still yield DNA, as officials describe mixed samples at the scene that are hard to separate.
- Rewards from the FBI, 88-CRIME, and the family now top $1.2 million with no confirmed tip, and local leaders face rising questions about how the investigation is being run.
