Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mom, Nancy Guthrie, is still missing more than two months after the abduction from her Tucson, Ariz., home—and retired FBI agent Jason Pack recently called out "red flags" in a new note and Bitcoin demand.
On Monday, April 6, TMZ received new correspondence from a person who allegedly saw Nancy alive in Sonora, Mexico. They claimed, however, that the 84-year-old "is dead" now.

The letter was from the same person who sent ransom notes to the outlet in February, TMZ reported. This time, though, the person demanded 1 Bitcoin in exchange for information about the location of Nancy's body. They asked for half before the information was shared and half after a public arrest.
Pack, a retired FBI supervisory special agent, weighed in on the legitimacy of the note and Bitcoin demand—which surfaced on the same day that Guthrie finally returned to her Today co-hosting duties after her mother went missing.
"The timing is the first red flag," he told Parade. "These notes resurface the same morning Savannah Guthrie walks back on television. Real witnesses don’t track the news cycle. Opportunists do."
Additionally, the former FBI agent pointed out, "The letters contradict themselves. The sender claims to have seen Nancy alive in Sonora, Mexico, but also says she is dead. How do they know? Need more specifics…not the contradicting bits of generic statements."

Pack also noted that the FBI has had the tipster's information since February but did not acknowledge or pay the ransom demands. "The Bureau does not ignore actionable intelligence out of stubbornness," he insisted. "Their silence is an answer."
Still, Pack noted that Sonora borders Arizona, and Tucson is roughly 70 miles from the border. "The geography is not impossible," he said. "And the FBI’s Legal Attache in Mexico has the tools to run it down without paying a Bitcoin."
Ultimately, Pack pointed to the method of the new note and Bitcoin demand as a major red flag.
"The fact that they are sending letters to TMZ instead of calling the FBI tells you everything you need to know about their credibility," he explained. "Real witnesses call law enforcement. Scammers call the media."
Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills residence on the evening of Jan 31. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department launched its search for Nancy on Feb. 1, with the FBI joining the investigation not long afterward. As of writing, no suspect has been named in the case, despite Savannah offering a $1 million reward.
