Arizona police have released two ransom notes in the kidnapping case of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of US news presenter Savannah Guthrie. The notes, which demand millions of dollars in Bitcoin, were sent to a local TV station in Tucson, Arizona, after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance six months ago.
The first note, received on February 2, demands $4 million in Bitcoin and threatens to kill Nancy Guthrie if the payment is not made. The second note, received four days later, claims that Nancy Guthrie died shortly after her abduction due to a heart condition. However, police have not verified her death, and the investigation remains active.
