Nancy Guthrie’s most recent ransom note reportedly asked for $6 million in Bitcoin.

Nancy, 84, was kidnapped during the night of January 31 after she’d been dropped home by her son-in-law following a family dinner.

Alarm bells first started ringing on February 1 when Nancy didn’t show up to her usual 11am church service in Tucson, Arizona. A congregant then alerted Nancy’s family, who contacted the authorities.

 

Once police arrived at the mother of three’s home, they quickly found blood at the property’s entrance and evidence suggesting a forced entry.

Two news organizations have also received what appear to be ransom demands, with law enforcement believing Nancy was taken against her will, although neither the FBI nor the Sheriff’s Office has verified the authenticity of these communications.

And it’s now been reported how much the supposed abductors asked for in exchange for Nancy.

According to KGUN 9 in Tucson, the captors have given a Monday, February 9 deadline, saying they want $6 million in Bitcoin by 5pm that day.

Following the receipt of the ransom letter, which had been sent to the media earlier this week, Nancy’s children, Cameron, Annie, and Savannah Guthrie, published a video begging for the captors to return their mom.

“We received your message, and we understand,” Savannah said while sitting between her two siblings. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

This news comes as the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its second week, with the family becoming increasingly concerned as the 84-year-old needs daily medication.

Nancy is reportedly unable to walk more than 50 yards unassisted and requires daily medication that could be fatal if missed for more than one day.

 

Furthermore, following this revelation, images of Nancy’s house have been released, showing how isolated she was before her abduction.

In the recently photographed images of Nancy’s home, the stunning house can be seen nestled in the vast, desolate desert, which stretches for what appears to be miles around the property line.

And while other homes can be seen dotted around the neighborhood, they are separated by sandy areas, which are covered with dense trees and bushes.

Moreover, it’s this landscape that experts have said may make it more difficult for Nancy’s captors to be found, as the area is barren and desolate, with dense vegetation.

And it’s close to the Mexican border, with Art Del Cueto, an experienced US Customs and Border Protection officer from the local area, saying, “We’re on the southern border. You’re dealing with international crime all the time, and there are just too many variables to rule anything out.

“If somebody gets spooked, they can make it into Mexico in under an hour-and-a-half – that’s why authorities may not be sharing everything they know.”
