A Bitcoin wallet allegedly linked to the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother remains empty as an apparent ransom deadline approaches, adding another layer of uncertainty to a case that has already gripped public attention.
The account, reportedly created to accept a $6 million payment in exchange for the safe return of Nancy, showed a zero balance Monday morning with no visible transaction history. While it is unclear how quickly such accounts typically update, the lack of activity comes as time appears to be running out on a second stated deadline set for 5 PM local time in Tucson.
Over the weekend, Savannah and her family publicly acknowledged the ransom message and said they were prepared to meet the financial demand to bring Nancy home. Authorities, however, have not confirmed whether the ransom note or the associated Bitcoin account is legitimate.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says the investigation remains active and complex. As of Sunday, officials reported no suspects or persons of interest. Investigators were seen conducting a search behind Nancy’s home, including examining a septic tank on the property.
Nancy was reported missing on February 1 after she did not arrive at church, an absence that immediately raised alarm. According to investigators, her daughter Annie and Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, were the last known people to see her, during a visit the night before she disappeared.
With few confirmed details and no clear leads, the case continues to unfold under intense public scrutiny, as loved ones and investigators alike await any sign of progress.
