According to court paperwork, Callella allegedly sent a text from a VOIP (internet) phone line that read: “Did you get the bitcoin were [sic] waiting on our end for the transaction.” The message came right after the Guthrie family posted a video on Instagram asking for proof of life for their mother on Feb. 4.
Investigators traced the phone line, discovered that it was registered to Callella’s Gmail account, determined it was made from his home near Los Angeles, KOLD reported. On Thursday, he was released from custody under several conditions, including no contact with any witnesses or victims and having all of his devices monitored.

In other news related to the missing case, authorities reached out to Ring doorbell camera users in Nancy's Catalina Foothills residence in hopes of pursuing a new lead involving a “suspicious vehicle."
That came on the heels of investigators releasing photos and video from surveillance footage of Nancy’s home showing a potential masked suspect. Also on Feb. 10, the PCSD and the FBI’s Evidence Response Team conducted a court-authorized search in Rio Rico, Ariz. They detained—and then released—a man named Carlos Palazuelos for questioning.
In the meantime, TMZ reported on Feb. 11 that it received an email, which has not been authenticated by investigators in Nancy’s case, in which somebody alleged to have information about Nancy’s captor and would provide it in exchange for 1 Bitcoin.
As of Feb. 12, Nancy still had not been located.
Those with any information about Nancy’s missing case are advised to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
