A new letter in the bewildering Nancy Guthrie case has been sent to TMZ, reportedly including a demand for one bitcoin in exchange for information about the elderly woman’s kidnapper.
TMZ reported that the $67,000 payment would be in exchange for the “name of the individual involved.”
The letter, the third alleged note sent out since Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31, contained details of a working bitcoin address, TMZ host Harvey Levin said during Wednesday’s appearance on Fox News’ “America Newsroom.”

“If they want the name of the individual involved, then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant,” the note stated, according to TMZ.
“They said they want one Bitcoin sent to a Bitcoin address that we have confirmed is active. It’s a real Bitcoin address, and as they put it, time is more than relevant,” Levin said. “So we have no idea whether this is real or not. But they are making a demand.”
The bitcoin address is different from the one featured in the original ransom note, which was sent to two Tucson-area TV news stations along with TMZ last week.
TMZ said they have forwarded the note to the FBI.

One bitcoin is currently worth around $67,000, more than the $50,000 reward being offered by law enforcement for information leading to the alleged kidnappers of NBC star Savannah Guthrie’s mom.
It comes after a flurry of updates on Tuesday saw the release of the first images and videos of the suspect in Nancy’s disappearance, retrieved from a Nest doorbell camera at her Tucson, Arizona, home.
The chilling grabs showed an individual wearing a ski mask, thick gloves, a zipped jacket, and a backpack approaching Nancy’s front door on the night of her disappearance, before trying to cover the camera with shrubbery.
The individual also had an apparent gun holstered in an unusual manner on the front of their pants as they walked up to the house in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, where Nancy had lived since 1975.

On Tuesday evening, cops detained a FedEx delivery driver, Carlos Palazuelos, in Rio Rico, south of Tucson, after pulling over a gray SUV.
He was later released without charge following a search of his Rio Rico home.
Palazuelos later told reporters that he didn’t even know who Nancy Guthrie was as he “didn’t watch the news.”
Nancy, 84, who requires lifesaving daily medication and has a pacemaker, was last seen alive on the evening of Jan. 31 when she was dropped off at home by her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, who is married to her other daughter, Annie.
