BREAKING: Individual Claims To Know Who Kidnapped Nancy Guthrie In Bombshell Letter To Media

TMZ reports it has received another message connected to the Nancy Guthrie investigation, though this one does not claim to be from the suspected kidnappers.

According to TMZ, the outlet received the note shortly before 5 a.m. PT. The sender allegedly claimed to have tried contacting Savannah Guthrie’s siblings, Camron and Annie, by email and text.

The note states, “If they want the name of the individual involved, then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant.”

TMZ said the message included what appears to be a legitimate Bitcoin address. The address is reportedly different from the one listed in the earlier ransom note previously sent to TMZ and two Tucson television stations.

TMZ added that federal authorities were notified, stating, “We have forwarded this note to the FBI.”

Officials have not verified whether the sender is credible. Still, the demand quickly drew attention due to the amount requested.

At current valuations, one Bitcoin is worth roughly $66,000. That sum is higher than the $50,000 reward law enforcement has offered for information leading to Nancy’s suspected abductors.

Authorities continue to urge anyone with legitimate tips to contact investigators directly.

A man briefly detained by law enforcement spoke out Wednesday morning after being released without charges, as the high-profile investigation enters its second week.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed late Tuesday that deputies detained a “subject” during a traffic stop south of Tucson and questioned him in connection with the case. By early Wednesday morning, the man had been released.

Carlos Palazuelos told Fox News that he was the individual stopped and questioned by authorities, but insisted he has no connection to Guthrie’s disappearance.
