T.J. Holmes 0:00
this is an iheart podcast guaranteed human hey there folks it is friday june 26th and as of this recording we are standing by for possible video evidence that shows nancy guthrie with her kidnapper and with that welcome to this episode of amy and tj this is an update robes we weren't expecting what It was big enough. We wanted to hop on and give this update. But there is a negotiation going on in public between the possible kidnapper and an entertainment website.
Amy Robach 0:39
Yes, this is... Look, this story has been bizarre and strange and has had so many twists and turns from the beginning. We're talking about the abduction of Nancy Guthrie well over four months ago, nearly five months ago now. And yes, today TMZ is reporting that they have received another email from the same person who has been sending them ransom notes of sort. And I say ransom notes of sort because... This isn't from the alleged kidnapper himself. It is from someone who claims to be in knowledge of who that kidnapper is and in possession of proof of who that kidnapper is.
T.J. Holmes 1:23
So Harvey Levin, today, people know that name by now, the founder of TMZ, put this article out first on their website, but he also did a five-minute video, robes in which he, the article is one thing, but in the video, he kind of explains more about what's in this note. So to get everybody caught up here, of course, Robes, they have from the very beginning, from her abduction, received a series of notes and they kept putting them out and kept giving these updates throughout. So they believe now they are in touch still with that same person who has now sent them a new note. This is the person that originally was asking for Bitcoin. They said they needed the Bitcoin because they needed to disappear afterwards.
T.J. Holmes 2:08
So this is what we're talking about. So this brings us up to now and Harvey Levin updating us all. And Robes, I guess the headline making part of this is that the person claims that they do have video evidence that shows Nancy Guthrie and her kidnapper on possibly the day she died.
Amy Robach 2:28
Yeah, that's exactly what he's claiming.
T.J. Holmes 2:31
That's enormous if this is true.
Amy Robach 2:32
Yes. And by the way, Harvey went on that video to say that they absolutely, TMZ has authenticated that this is the same person who has been emailing them throughout because they said that he referenced an old Bitcoin address. a nickname he used for himself. So there's no way anyone else could be copycatting him or replicating him. They say, this is the same dude. Now, what they said he told them in this email, first of all, he said, I'm not the idiot who recently called in a tip about her burial site in Mexico.
T.J. Holmes 3:06
Well, they're keeping up with current events.
Amy Robach 3:07
Yes, and he seemed to be offended that there was any sort of suggestion by the FBI that he was that person.

How does TMZ authenticate the recurring ransom-note sender?

T.J. Holmes 3:16
It ain't weird. That almost felt like somebody... You're not going to steal my thunders. Exactly.
Amy Robach 3:21
It was a bizarre... You think I did that? No, that was someone else. I'm different. That was a...
T.J. Holmes 3:27
That was a weird one that maybe gave us a lot. I would love to talk to one of these FBI profilers or something, what that tells them about this person.
Amy Robach 3:35
Inflated sense of self or the need for importance for whatever reason. But yes, in this email, he claims Harvey said that he'd always kind of referenced kidnappers, plural. But in this email, he got specific and said there were two kidnappers involved. He was not one of them, but he obviously was supposedly, according to him, in contact with them close enough where he could have video of them. So he says, 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 them, meaning 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 ages.
Amy Robach 4:30
This is what he claims to have.
T.J. Holmes 4:32
OK, now we are dealing now, Rose, with a person and we talked about this prior. I mean, how bad is what's worse if somebody who is playing a hoax is writing in and maybe trying to get the ransom?
