- The Movement: On Tuesday, February 10, a small deposit of $152 (.0022 BTC) appeared in the Bitcoin wallet address associated with the $6 million ransom demand.
- The Timing: This activity occurred less than 24 hours after the kidnappers’ final deadline (Monday at 5:00 p.m.) passed without the ransom being paid.
- The Uncertainty: Because the wallet address has become public knowledge, cybersecurity experts warn that this deposit may not be from the kidnappers. It could be a third party “testing” the account or a “troll” transaction intended to confuse investigators.
Latest Evidence and Suspect Profile
The FBI has shifted its focus toward physical evidence as the digital trail remains murky:
- New Footage: Surveillance video from Nancy Guthrie’s porch shows a suspect wearing a ski mask and a backpack. The individual was captured using a flashlight held in their mouth while attempting to disable the home’s security system.
- Forensic Evidence: Authorities confirmed that blood found on the porch on January 31 matches Nancy’s DNA, confirming a violent struggle occurred during the abduction.
- Health Concerns: Nancy Guthrie, 84, requires daily medication for high blood pressure and a pacemaker, increasing the urgency for a “proof of life” message that has yet to be delivered.
