More than two months missing. Over a million dollars in reward money. No named suspect. No arrest. And ransom notes keep showing up — the latest demanding bitcoin in a split payment structure that accidentally gives investigators two separate opportunities to trace the transaction. The FBI has traced and recovered cryptocurrency before. They did it with Colonial Pipeline. So why hasn't that lever been pulled in the Nancy Guthrie case? Nancy Guthrie — the eighty-four-year-old mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie — was taken from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson. Blood at the scene, confirmed as Nancy's. A doorbell camera tampered with. Surveillance footage showing a masked figure on her porch with a backpack identified as a big-box store purchase. The evidence has pointed from the beginning to someone local and amateur — cheap gear, weeds pulled off the ground to cover a camera he hadn't seen until he got there. This wasn't a professional operation. But the investigation itself is raising its own questions. Reporting confirms the sergeant supervising the initial response had reportedly been in the role for roughly six months and had never personally worked a case like this. Sources say seasoned detectives had been reassigned — not for performance, but allegedly because they weren't considered loyal to the sheriff's leadership. The department's search and rescue plane was reportedly grounded because its pilot was moved to street patrols. A DNA hair sample sat with a private Florida lab for eleven weeks before being transferred to the FBI laboratory for advanced testing. The FBI has publicly clarified that this is not new evidence — they requested it over two months ago. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer — who has publicly called for the bureau to pay the bitcoin and trace the wallet — breaks down what the ransom pattern reveals, what the earliest hours of this investigation may have cost, and whether the FBI-led task force can recover what was lost.
