A person has claimed to be in possession of a video of Nancy Guthrie with her kidnapper in a bombshell new ransom letter.
The message was emailed to TMZ on Friday and read in part, “I have a phone stashed in a secure location guaranteeing both the information it stores and the safety of the phone.
“What it contains is my definition of delivering [the kidnappers] on a silver platter, a short video of the main guy with Nancy the day that was probably her last, pictures of both involved, names and addresses and age,” it continued.

According to the outlet, the individual alleged there are two kidnappers involved in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom.
The individual went on to write that the phone is in a “location easy to access if you know where it is,” adding that they will give TMZ the password to the phone in exchange for a deposit into a new bitcoin wallet.
The outlet claimed to have “authenticated” that the new email is from the same person who sent them previous ransom notes since the individual used the same alias and referenced an old bitcoin address matching one mentioned earlier in this case.
Additionally, the sender noted, “I am not the idiot who recently called in a tip about her burial site in Mexico.”

On June 10, Buscando Corazones Nogales, a group that works to locate missing people in Mexico, revealed they had received a tip stating that a grave belonging to Nancy may have been found, which ignited a massive — and, so far, unsuccessful — search effort.
In response to the new ransom letter, which TMZ has forwarded to the FBI, the outlet asked the person to send them a screenshot of Nancy from the alleged video.
TMZ speculated that the sender of the email is male, as the person “scoff[ed]” at the FBI’s reported belief that previous ransom notes attributed to this individual were written by a woman.
A rep for the FBI did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

However, a rep for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department — which has been handling the case since Nancy was abducted from her Arizona home on Feb. 1 — told us, “The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie remains active and ongoing.
“The Pima County Sheriff’s Department continues to work closely with the FBI as investigators follow up on leads, review information and pursue the facts surrounding this case,” the statement concluded.
There have been several ransom letters and demands for bitcoin payments sent since Nancy went missing, including to the Guthrie family, TMZ and Tucson outlets KOLD News and 13 KGUN 9.
Savannah told her “Today” show co-host and friend Hoda Kotb in a tearful March interview that she believes two to be credible — the ones she and her siblings, Camron Guthrie and Annie Guthrie, “responded to” in emotional social media videos.

The February notes in question made their way back into headlines last week as multiple outlets confirmed the writer claimed Nancy was dead.
When the update was covered on the “Today” show, Savannah, 54, had “no comment” — but did send a tearful plea to the public for information leading to her mother.
“Somebody knows something,” the journalist, who is “in agony,” said. “[My family] cannot be at peace. … We need your help.”
