TMZ has received another email from the person who claims to know the identity of Nancy Guthrie‘s kidnapper … and the words are chilling.
As we reported, TMZ received an email Wednesday, asking for 1 bitcoin in return for the name of the kidnapper. A single bitcoin is currently worth around $65,000. We monitored the account all day, but nothing was deposited.
Just after 8 AM Pacific Time Thursday … TMZ received a second email from the same person, who complained, “I am not being taken seriously.” He makes some ominous statements in the email … TMZ is cooperating with law enforcement by not disclosing specifics. One thing he makes clear … the situation has changed from Wednesday to Thursday.
As for why he wants a bitcoin … he says he will need money to lay low after identifying the kidnapper for fear of retaliation. He also worries he might be “incriminated like that Carlos [the deliveryman who was detained and released] guy.”
He ends by saying this is his final attempt to help.
As of this post, no money or bitcoin has been deposited in his account.
Nancy Guthrie Case New Note Demands 1 Bitcoin to Rat Out Suspect
There’s a new note in the Nancy Guthrie case, but this one doesn’t seem to be from the kidnapper … instead, it’s from someone offering to give up information on the kidnapper.
TMZ received the note just before 5 AM PT, and the sender claims they’ve tried unsuccessfully to reach Savannah Guthrie‘s brother, Camron, and her sister, Annie, by email and text. The note goes on, “If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant.”

There is a legitimate bitcoin address in the note … and it is a different address from the one in the original ransom note, received by TMZ and 2 Tucson TV news stations.
We have forwarded this note to the FBI.
It’s unclear if the sender of this note is legit, but interestingly, 1 bitcoin is worth about $66,000 right now. You’ll recall law enforcement is currently offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy’s kidnappers.
