The FBI is investigating a ransom email that claims a phone holds video of Nancy Guthrie and links the message to a prior Bitcoin ransom attempt reported to “TMZ”.Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says the email is likely fake, cites past arrests for hoaxes and says the local inquiry now runs alongside an FBI probe.Nancy Guthrie, 84, has limited mobility and needs daily medication; her daughter Savannah Guthrie and family have pleaded publicly and posted a $1M reward for information.Investigators have treated the
Tucson home as a crime scene, collected DNA evidence, released footage of an unknown armed person at the front door and arrested a man for fake texts; authorities urge tips to the
FBI or the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
