Claims that a payment was just deposited to the alleged ransom account for Nancy Guthrie circulated online, but TMZ and law‑enforcement updates show the publicly visible Bitcoin address had no transactions and no payment has been confirmed. Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson home on February 1; her family said they would comply with a $6 million demand after an unverified ransom note was circulated. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff are leading the investigation, operating a 24‑hour command post and conducting door‑to‑door searches; reports of SWAT or bomb‑squad activity have appeared but remain partially unverified by major outlets sources.

Note: I could not find any credible, contemporary reporting confirming that a ransom payment was made — TMZ reported the account remained at zero and major outlets have not verified a deposit. (tmz.com)
