Speaking with Fox News on Wednesday morning, Levin said, “We got, kind of a bizarre letter, an email from somebody who says they know who the kidnapper is and that they have tried reaching Savannah’s sister Annie and Savannah’s brother, to no avail.

“And 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.

“So we have no idea whether this is real or not. But they are making a demand.”

Chilling surveillance captured a masked and armed intruder tampering with a camera outside Nancy’s home the night she was kidnapped.

The videos show the individual ripping plants from the property and using it to block the camera just hours before the 84-year-old mother was taken from her bed.

The individual was cloaked in a ski mask and dressed in a jacket and pants, along with black gloves and a backpack.

In the first video shared by authorities, the subject was seen walking slowly toward the front door, with a hunched-over back, covering the camera while appearing to look around.

The individual then stepped back, searched the ground, stepped off the front porch, and pulled a plant from the lawn.

In a second clip, the plant appears to be shoved in front of the camera, obscuring the view as the individual holds what appears to be a flashlight inside their mouth.

Investigators have made it clear they haven’t identified a person of interest or suspect, and called the individual a subject.

In a statement shared along with the footage, the Pima County Sheriff’s and the FBI begged for tip and asked anyone with information to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or visit http://tips.fbi.gov.

Hours after the footage was released, a delivery driver was detained and questioned about Nancy, but he was ultimately released.

The man, Carlos Palazuelos, spoke with reporters at his home in Rio Rico and insisted he was innocent, claiming to have no clue who the Guthries were.

RANSOM NOTES

Nancy was last seen on January 31 after she was dropped off by her son in law following a family dinner.

Authorities have stressed that every moment she’s missing is crucial, as she suffers from heart issues that require daily medication.

Several newsrooms have reported getting apparent ransom notes demanding millions from the Guthrie family for Nancy’s safe return.

Two deadlines details in the notes have passed, and the mom is still nowhere to be found, despite Savannah agreeing publicly to pay.

RECOMMENDED STORIES

The dead ends have prompted Savannah to beg the public for help keeping an eye out for anything suspicious.

“We are at an hour of desperation,” she said in a video on Monday.
