A ransom note demanding millions in Bitcoin for the safe return of Nancy Guthrie, mother of television host Savannah Guthrie, may ultimately expose the kidnappers rather than protect them, according to a cryptocurrency crime expert. Bezalel Eithan Raviv explained that while criminals often believe digital currency is safer than cash, Bitcoin transactions leave a permanent, transparent trail that can be tracked by law enforcement and specialist firms. The ransom note, which has not yet been verified as legitimate, set deadlines for payment and included chilling details about Nancy's abduction from her Tucson home. Authorities are treating the case with utmost seriousness, coordinating with federal agencies, but have not identified any suspects or ruled anyone out. The investigation continues as law enforcement works to trace the digital ransom and search for clues in the disappearance.
