The case surrounding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of journalist Savannah Guthrie, has taken a new turn after an unverified email claimed to offer breakthrough evidence in the case.
According to TMZ, the outlet received another message from the person believed to be behind two previous notes sent to media organisations. In the new email, the sender claims to have specific information about the main suspect believed to be responsible for Guthrie’s disappearance, and explicitly distances themselves from a previous, already discredited tip suggesting a possible burial site in Mexico. The sender also claims two people were involved in the disappearance.
According to the email cited by TMZ, the sender claims to have a phone stored in a secure location, which they say contains a short video of the main suspect with Guthrie on what they describe as her likely last day, along with photos of both individuals allegedly involved, as well as names, addresses and ages. The sender claims the phone is in a location that would be easy to access if its whereabouts were known, and is reportedly asking for one bitcoin in exchange for the password and access details.
None of these claims have been verified, and TMZ has forwarded the email to the FBI. Law enforcement has not issued any public statement regarding this latest development. The email arrived after TMZ had announced it would offer one bitcoin to anyone who could verify the legitimacy of the earlier notes.
Nancy Guthrie has been missing from Arizona since February 1. According to officials, she was abducted during the night, and the investigation into her disappearance remains ongoing.
