At least one person, Derrick Callella, has been arrested for sending imposter ransom messages to Nancy Guthrie’s family, unrelated to her actual disappearance. Authorities traced texts asking for bitcoin to him; he admitted sending them after finding family info online.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, is believed to have been kidnapped from her Tucson home over the weekend. Blood matching her DNA was found at the scene, but no suspect in her disappearance has been identified. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff continue the investigation and are offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her return.
Her children, including Savannah Guthrie, have made emotional public pleas for her safe return. Officials urge the public to avoid spreading unverified information, emphasizing that Nancy is still considered missing but may be alive.
