The latest alleged ransom note sent to TMZ in connection to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance suggests several people were involved in her abduction – and that one of them has fled the US.
In an email sent to the outlet on Friday afternoon, the sender said law enforcement should “be prepared to go international” in order to locate the “main individual” behind the baffling Guthrie case, TMZ reported.
The author of the email — the third one sent to TMZ on the same day — claimed to know the identity of the 84-year-old woman’s abductor and said he knows her current condition.
The ransom price for information about the case was also upped, from the 1 bitcoin — worth about $68,000 — to the $100,000 FBI reward.
The person behind the ransom emails said they are contacting TMZ as an “intermediary” because he doesn’t trust law enforcement, telling authorities, “You don’t trust me, and I don’t trust you,” TMZ reported.
