TMZ’s Levin: Nancy Guthrie ransom note had two deadlines

The ransom note demanded millions in Bitcoin with two deadlines and included specific details like Guthrie's Apple Watch, prompting the family to plead for proof of life.

  • TMZ reported on Tuesday it received an alleged ransom note demanding millions in Bitcoin with a legitimate wallet address.
  • Investigators say Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson home around 1:45 a.m., with blood matching her DNA near the entrance, and are treating the scene as a potential crime scene.
  • The letter itself opens by saying Nancy Guthrie is `OK, but scared`, includes an Apple Watch detail, and the sender went to great lengths to remain anonymous, TMZ reported.
  • The Guthrie family publicly begged the sender to prove Nancy is alive, saying `We are ready to talk`, as investigators say the FBI isn't close to determining the note's origin.
  • Appearing on CNN on Thursday , Harvey Levin said the letter 'spells out precisely what they want' and is very detailed and non-negotiable, with a second deadline on Monday, February 9.
