New Ransom Notes in Nancy Guthrie Case Claim Mexico Sighting, Death

Investigators are vetting conflicting bitcoin demands sent to TMZ.

Overview

  • TMZ says two messages from a repeat sender arrived Monday, asking for up to one bitcoin for information and separately claiming Nancy Guthrie was seen in Sonora, Mexico and that she is dead.
  • TMZ reports it forwarded the first note to the FBI, and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department says all such tips are reviewed as possible extortion attempts.
  • The investigation enters Day 67 with no arrests or named suspects after doorbell video of a masked person and drops of blood at the home fueled thousands of public tips.
  • Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today show Monday as her family maintains a reward of up to $1 million and urges Tucson neighbors to review security footage from January 31 to February 1.
  • References to Sonora have steered attention to potential cross‑border leads, but authorities have not verified any connection to Mexico.
