On Wednesday, the FBI intensified their efforts in the Arizona neighborhood of Nancy Guthrie, marking the 11th day since the 84-year-old went missing.

An update from FBI Phoenix revealed that numerous agents are actively searching along various routes within the Catalina Foothills area.

The FBI urged both the media and drivers to adhere to traffic regulations and exercise caution around law enforcement officers working near the roads, according to their statement on X.

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31 after dining at her daughter Annie Guthrie’s home, according to family.

She was subsequently dropped off at her residence by a family member. Her family reported her missing the next day when she didn’t attend church.

The renewed search follows the emergence of a new note, reported by TMZ, which demands one Bitcoin in exchange for details about the kidnapper.

“If they want the name of the individual involved, then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant,” the note read, according to TMZ.

The individual claimed to have reached out to Nancy Guthrie’s family members by email, but received no response.

The bitcoin address is reportedly a different address from the previous ransom note address.

As CrimeOnline previously reported, at least three news outlets, including TMZ, KOLD, and KGUN, have received ransom notes, demanding millions in Bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return.

KOLD reported that the outlet received a note demanding the payment before 5 p.m. MST Monday. The note reportedly “threatened to kill Nancy Guthrie” if the $6 million in Bitcoin is not received.

Initially, ransom notes sent to both KOLD and KGUN demanded $4 million in Bitcoin, with a deadline of February 5. The notes indicated that the payment would increase to $6 million on February 9 if the payment had not been made.

Meanwhile, FBI Director Kash Patel posted photos and videos of a potential armed subject on Tuesday.

“Full-on ski mask,” Nancy Grace said on ‘Crime Stories‘ Tuesday. “Wrist covered, face covered, hands covered, trying to cover the Nest camera.”

“Check out the backpack— reflectors on the shoulders. Come on, can’t we track that?”

The suspect appeared to have been attempting to tamper with the camera with a glove, before grabbing some flowers and placing them in front of the camera.

The FBI is currently offering a $50,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of anyone associated with Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.

Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Tipsters can also contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department tip line at 520-351-4900.
