Nancy Guthrie Breaking Update: New Note Sent to TMZ Claims to Have Video
TMZ has received another note regarding Nancy Guthrie.
On Friday, June 26, the outlet reported that it received a new email, allegedly from the same individual who has been sending messages to the outlet claiming to have information about the person responsible for Guthrie's disappearance.
TMZ says the person who sent the email claims to have video of the "'main guy' and Nancy the day she died." The person who sent the email also wrote, "I am not the idiot who recently called in a tip about her burial site in Mexico." The sender also claims that there are two people responsible for Guthrie's disappearance.
TMZ went on to share additional quotes from the message.
"I have a phone stashed in a secure location guaranteeing both the information it stores and the safety of the phone," the email reads, per the outlet. "What it contains is my definition of delivering them on a silver platter, a short video of the main guy with Nancy the day that was probably her last, pictures of both involved, names and addresses and age."
TMZ has contacted the FBI in regard to the latest email. The outlet also responded to the note-in which the sender requested one bitcoin for the location of the phone and its password-demanding one screengrab of Nancy as proof to authenticate the claim.

The report comes just days after TMZ reported that it offered to pay the one bitcoin in an attempt to verify the legitimacy of these notes, which are completely separate from the initial two ransom notes that were sent to the media. In an update, the outlet reported that the FBI was following up on the secondary notes.
Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Feb. 1. Authorities believe that she was abducted from her Arizona home in the middle of the night. The FBI was able to retrieve footage from Guthrie's Google Nest camera which showed a masked individual on her front stoop the night she went missing. However, that individual has not yet been identified.
Anyone with information is asked to call Tucson's 88-Crime hotline at 1-520-882-7463 or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
