The FBI has reached out to Mexican authorities as they continue the urgent search for Nancy Guthrie and her kidnapper. Investigators reported zero leads after analyzing Border Patrol cameras, raising concerns about whether she was taken across the border immediately after her abduction. The latest ransom demand, which came by way of a shocking email, asks for payment in a cryptocurrency that’s not as mainstream as Bitcoin, and it details some pretty harrowing consequences if the ransom isn’t paid.
As if that weren’t tense enough, the FBI is also warning anyone trying to pull a fast one on the Guthrie family with fake ransom demands that they could face the long arm of the law. With no significant breakthroughs so far, law enforcement is still working diligently, exploring every possible lead. Hopefully, Nancy is safe and authorities can untangle this knot before it escalates further. Perhaps the next time they see a ransom note, it’ll come with a side of humor instead of a chilling threat!
