Is Bitcoin Losing Credibility? Nancy Guthrie Weighs In!

A retired FBI agent is providing insights into alleged ransom notes demanding bitcoin amid the search for Nancy Guthrie, mother of Savannah Guthrie.

Scott Curtis shared with Us Weekly that the attention-seeking nature of the notes could be a red flag for investigators, especially if the sender is traced to certain countries like Russia or China.

The FBI is reportedly not prioritizing the notes as the sender contacted TMZ instead of the authorities directly, according to Curtis.

Second Email Received

A second email claiming to know the person who took Nancy Guthrie was received, as reported by TMZ on February 12. The sender expressed frustration at not being taken seriously.

The 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1, and a note demanding payment for information on her possible abductor emerged during the search.

Bitcoin Account Activity Detected

Bitcoin account activity linked to the ransom notes was noted by TMZ and a local news outlet following Nancy Guthrie's disappearance on February 1. The FBI was informed of the ransom demands.

Savannah Guthrie has been absent from the Today show as the search continues, with pleas on social media to bring her mother home.
