The mysterious disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has sparked shock and disbelief across the community and beyond. Recent reports indicate that multiple media outlets received ransom notes demanding bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return.
Media Reports and Ransom Demands
According to various sources, including TMZ, the kidnappers are requesting millions of dollars worth of bitcoin. This cryptocurrency is often linked to criminal activities due to its difficulty in tracing.
Mary Coleman, a news presenter from KOLD TV in Tucson, confirmed that her station received one such note last Monday. The station promptly forwarded the letter to law enforcement for further investigation.
Legitimacy of Ransom Notes
Authorities are taking the situation seriously, as the ransom notes contained sensitive information about Nancy and details from the crime scene. Coleman mentioned that one note included two specific deadlines, one of which has already passed, while another is set for this coming Monday.
In collaboration with law enforcement, media outlets have refrained from disclosing the full details of the ransom demands.
A Community’s Plea
The Guthrie family has made an emotional appeal for Nancy’s safe return. In a video released on Saturday, Savannah Guthrie expressed their desperation: “We received your message. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her.” She further added, “And we will pay.”
Community Support and Vigils
The community’s support for Nancy is evident, as many have expressed their love and concern. Ed Coates from St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church remarked, “We love Nancy and we’re praying for Nancy. It’s heartbreaking for the whole community. She’s very loved.”
Additionally, a candlelight vigil was held at St Philip’s in the Hills Episcopal Church. Many neighborhood residents gathered to honor Nancy and show their solidarity during this trying time.
