Authorities Dismiss New Ransom Note in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance CasePreviousNext

Authorities continue investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, who went missing from her Arizona home in February. Recently, a new ransom text message surfaced claiming she was held in Mexico by a mafia group demanding bitcoin payment. However, the Pima County Sheriff's Department reviewed the message and deemed it not credible. Officials warn the public about potential scams and urge reporting suspicious communications. The case remains active with no suspects publicly identified.
