A bombshell report on Friday suggested that the alleged ransom letter in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case could indicate her current whereabouts. The 84-year-old mother of three was taken from her Tucson home against her will on Jan. 31. Several media outlets have reported receiving ransom letters from the Guthrie family demanding millions of bitcoins. However, the suspects have not yet been identified.

The outlet reported that details indicate she was not taken ‘too far’ from her Arizona home.
“If the letter is legitimate, and the FBI and Savannah Guthrie have already spoken publicly about it, it provides some clues as to where Nancy may be,” the report said.
TMZ also published a map indicating key areas. A circle covers Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and slivers of Kansas and Oklahoma.
The report added that ‘Today’ host Savannah Guthrie’s mother is unlikely to be picked up on a plane, which would require a real ID. TMZ reported that the letter was ‘very well written’ and had a ‘structure’. “It appears to be done by someone who is educated and has spent time creating it.”

“Whoever is holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly,” Cameron Guthrie said in a video posted on social media.
“We need to reach you and we need a way to contact you so we can move forward,” he added.
Just earlier this week, Savannah Guthrie read a similar message. “We need to know without a doubt that he is alive and that you have him. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, contact us,” he said.
is still outPima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a news conference that officials believe Nancy is ‘still out there’. The 84-year-old had limited mobility and was dependent on medication for his well-being.
“His health, his heart is fragile. He’s living in constant pain. He’s without any medication. He needs it to survive. He needs it not to suffer,” Savannah said.
