Harvey Levin, the recipient of a batch of suspected ransom demands in the Nancy Guthrie case, is pushing back against recent reports claiming the potential abductors were apologetic over the 84-year-old’s purported death.
Ransom Note Details
Levin stated that the ransom note did not contain an apology, but rather stated that Guthrie was scared but okay. The note made no reference to her death or the kidnappers apologizing.
The FBI has been handling the investigation into numerous ransom demands, some of which are believed to be bogus. A federal law enforcement source confirmed that the FBI deposited small sums of crypto into a Bitcoin wallet to test the purported ransom demand’s validity.
A series of later emails, sent by someone claiming to have knowledge of the case, referenced Guthrie’s death. The person had asked for $100,000 for the information and claimed to be afraid of being implicated due to a past burglary on their record.
Investigation Ongoing
The investigation into Guthrie’s disappearance is ongoing, with a combined reward of over $1.2 million for information that cracks the case. Anyone with information is asked to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI or provide tips anonymously to Tucson’s Crime Stoppers affiliate, 88-Crime, at 1-520-882-7463.
