Nancy Guthrie Cold Case: New Letters Claim She Was Seen Alive in Mexico with Kidnappers

In a startling update on the Nancy Guthrie cold case, new notes have surfaced from the same individual who has been offering information about her kidnappers. For the first time, the tipster is pinpointing a specific location—Sonora, Mexico—and claims to have seen Nancy alive with the kidnappers.

TMZ received the first letter on Monday morning, the same day Savannah Guthrie made her return to the TODAY show. In the letter, the person reiterated their demand for one bitcoin, stating they would provide detailed information to “deliver them on a silver platter.” They are still holding firm to the offer made nearly two months ago.

The tipster sent a second letter shortly after the initial note was discussed on TMZ Live. In it, they claim to have seen Nancy alive and with the kidnappers in the Mexican state of Sonora. This region, located near the Arizona border, has become a focal point in the case. Nancy was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1, just about 70 miles from the border.

While the sender’s note provides new details about Nancy’s whereabouts, they do not suggest that she is still alive. In fact, the first letter states that Nancy is dead. Despite this grim message, the tipster’s offer remains. They state, “I will deliver them to you on a silver platter for a bitcoin.”

After receiving the first letter, TMZ forwarded it to the FBI, but federal authorities remain skeptical. No deposit has been made into the bitcoin account linked to the tipster’s request, which was set up earlier in February. The sender, aware of the FBI’s doubts, directly addresses their feelings of being disregarded, stating: “It’s unbelievable that millions have been wasted and yet here I am willing to deliver them on a silver platter since February 11th, for a bitcoin, but I am dismissed as a scam.”

The person continues to express frustration over the lack of attention from the FBI, emphasizing their willingness to cooperate if the payment is made. The sender even offers to reduce their fee, now asking for only half a bitcoin, with the remaining balance to be paid once a public arrest occurs.

Interestingly, the sender claims they were not involved in the kidnapping and insists that they have been living outside the United States for over five years. They clarify, “I had nothing to do with this horrific crime.”

In the second note, the individual reiterates that their motivation is not greed, adding, “I just want what’s fair and to live peacefully with enough to start my life again without having to join a witness protection program.”

The FBI has not made any official statements about the authenticity of these letters, and for now, the case remains cold. But with the demand for bitcoin hanging in the air and the latest claim of Nancy being seen alive, the mystery continues to deepen.
