Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping: Bitcoin Ransom Demanded

An 84-year-old woman named Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, leaving behind traces of blood. According to ChainCatcher, the kidnappers sent ransom notes to TMZ and two local TV stations, demanding $6 million in Bitcoin. On February 10, law enforcement released images of a suspect, showing a man wearing a ski mask and carrying a handgun, tampering with a security camera at the entrance. Investigations suggest the kidnappers may be from the Tucson area, operating within a 700-mile radius. A recent development revealed activity in the Bitcoin account specified in the ransom note. Despite two ransom deadlines passing, "TODAY" host Savannah Guthrie has attempted to contact the kidnappers and expressed willingness to pay the ransom. Nancy requires a pacemaker and daily medication, and the FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery.
