Overview
- TMZ says two messages arrived Monday from the same tipster, claiming Nancy Guthrie was seen alive in Sonora, Mexico, and offering an exact location for one bitcoin, about $69,000.
- TMZ says it forwarded at least one note to the FBI, and the Pima County Sheriff's Department acknowledged the reports and directed questions to federal agents.
- No bitcoin has been sent to the wallet identified by the sender, and authorities have not verified the claims or confirmed Guthrie’s whereabouts.
- Investigators say Guthrie was taken from her home near Tucson on February 1 after drops of blood were found and a doorbell camera captured an armed, masked man outside.
- Rewards now total $1.1 million, with $100,000 from the FBI and $1 million from the family, to draw credible tips in a search that may extend across the U.S.–Mexico border.
