Investigators said they are reviewing a «new message» in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, moments before they were spotted back at the crime scene.<\/b>
\nA news outlet in Arizona has received a new message in the Nancy Guthrie case, the outlet reported on Friday.
KOLD 13 News in Tucson did not provide further details in their report, though the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Office issued a new statement.
\u201cThe FBI and Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie,\u201d the statement read. \u201cInvestigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity.\u201d
They added, \u201cWhile this is one new piece of information, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department are still asking anyone with tips to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.\u201d
They concluded the statement by noting the FBI is still offering a reward of \u201cup to $50,000 for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and\/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.\u201d
A spokesperson for Pima County Sheriffs department told Page Six on Friday that \u201cDetectives continue to conduct follow-up at the home and in the surrounding neighborhood, and noted that \u201cThe roadway in front of the home is currently restricted to provide investigators the space needed to complete their work.\u201d
The 84-year-old mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie was reported missing on Sunday, Feb. 1, after she failed to show up for church services.
Sheriff Chris Nanos \u2014 who has said that investigators believe Nancy was abducted in her sleep \u2014 explained on Thursday that authorities are \u201cactively looking at everyone\u201d as a suspect in the case.
A trail of blood confirmed to be Nancy\u2019s on Thursday was seen outside her front door. FBI special agent and former CIA member Tracy Walder told Page Six on Friday that the mother of three had likely been \u201cstalked for some time\u201d before her disappearance.
TMZ founder Harvey Levin told CNN on Thursday that investigators had a \u201cradius around Tucson\u201d after receiving a purported ransom note in the case asking for billions in Bitcoin.
Cops also addressed reports of a \u201cpossible ransom note\u201d earlier this week, releasing a statement saying they were \u201caware of reports circulating about a possible ransom note(s) regarding the investigation into Nancy Guthrie.\u201d
\u201cWe are taking all tips and leads very seriously,\u201d the statement continued. \u201cAnything that comes in, goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI.\u201d
But Walder also told Page Six on Friday he doesn\u2019t believe the case is necessarily about money.
\u201cI, in my gut, feel like this is someone that either had some kind of obsession with Savannah because of how high profile she is, and this was a way to potentially get to her,\u201d he said in part. \u201cOr this is a person that has some kind of beef with Savannah because of whatever story she covered or whoever she interviewed.\u201d
He added, \u201cI am not convinced it\u2019s fully about money. Her salary is for the most part public, but there are other people who make more money than she does.\u201d
Savannah and her siblings, Camron Guthrie and sister Annie Guthrie, plead with the alleged captors in a recent social media video to provide \u201cproof of life\u201d amid Nancy\u2019s ongoing disappearance.
Camron subsequently released another statement asking for whoever is involved in Nancy\u2019s disappearance to reach out.<\/p>\n
