A person claiming to have knowledge of Nancy Guthrie's abduction has sent a new email asserting possession of video evidence and details about the kidnappers. The sender, who has previously sent ransom notes, alleges there were two individuals involved and that a hidden phone contains footage of Guthrie with the 'main guy' on the day she likely died. The email also claims to have pictures, names, addresses, and ages of the suspects.
Guthrie, the mother of NBC News' Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1. Initial ransom notes demanded millions in Bitcoin, with threats of increasing the amount if unpaid. Later, an 'apology' note claimed Guthrie had been accidentally killed and offered to return her body for $4 million. The FBI has not confirmed the authenticity of these messages, and sources close to the investigation are divided on their credibility.
Authorities have not publicly verified the latest claims, and some investigators believe the ransom demands may be bogus. Others remain cautious, citing the ongoing lack of information about Guthrie's whereabouts. The FBI previously uncovered doorbell camera footage of a masked individual at Guthrie's front door but has not released further details.
TMZ founder Harvey Levin, who received the latest email, challenged the sender to prove the claims. A retired FBI agent, Jim Clemente, expressed skepticism, stating that the emails either indicate a 'complete fool' or are 'completely fake.'
