The missing case of Nancy Guthrie took a fresh turn on Wednesday, the 11th day of the search for the 84-year-old, after news outlet TMZ got a note asking for 1 Bitcoin in exchange for information on the suspect.
This is the third note received in the case. Earlier, the deadlines for the two ransom notes, one demanding $6 million in Bitcoin, fell through as leads as the senders could not provide proof of life. The Guthrie family had made a video agreeing to pay the amount in exchange for proof of life.
The new note is not a ransom note like the earlier two. Here, the sender has asked for 1 Bitcoin to be transferred to a wallet in exchange for purported information on the suspect who is behind the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie.
“If they want the name of the individual involved, then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet,” the note read, per TMZ. "Time is more than relevant.”
The police have not confirmed the authenticity of the note. The Guthrie family has also not released any response to the note, as of yet. However, the new ransom note has sparked interest in the how much 1 Bitcoin costs in US Dollars.
