Nancy Guthrie’s ransom note may hold key clue in kidnapping case

Ransom Note Under Analysis

On February 5, several media outlets reported receiving a message demanding $6 million in bitcoin. The note included a specific wallet address and set a deadline for payment. Authorities have not publicly verified the source of the message, and they continue to caution against drawing conclusions before forensic analysis is complete.

Blockchain specialists note that, contrary to popular belief, bitcoin transactions are not fully anonymous. Once an address is known, investigators can monitor activity and trace funds if they are transferred or routed through regulated exchanges.
