Third note demanding bitcoin sent in Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping

Another bitcoin demand has been sent regarding Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping — this time, in exchange for information on her purported abductor.

The individual sent a note to TMZ Wednesday morning after allegedly unsuccessful attempts to reach the missing 84-year-old’s children — Savannah Guthrie, Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie.

“If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet,” the message read, according to the outlet.

One bitcoin is currently the equivalent of nearly $67,000, per Crypto.com.

“Time is more than relevant,” the note, which has since been forwarded to the FBI, continued.

The legitimacy of the new message has yet to be verified.

The bitcoin address associated with the new message is different from the one in previous ransom notes sent to local Tucson, Ariz., news stations.

The original messages requested $6 million — and a deposit of approximately $152 worth of bitcoin was made into that account Tuesday.

Three days prior, Savannah and her siblings told the alleged kidnapper in an emotional Instagram video that they “will pay.”

The trio explained, “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.”

The “Today” show co-anchor, Annie and Camron have been begging the public for help in identifying the person, with the FBI offering a $50,000 reward last week.

On Tuesday, they released the first photos and videos of the alleged criminal approaching Nancy’s front door while armed and masked.

“Someone out there recognizes this person,” Savannah subsequently wrote via Instagram. “We believe she is still out there. Bring her home.”

Her husband, Michael Feldman, did the same, writing, “Please help us.”

Nancy was last seen at her home the evening of Jan. 31, and the matriarch was declared missing the following day.
