Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31.

The sender is reportedly the same person who sent letters earlier this year, asking for one Bitcoin in exchange for information on the 84-year-old's disappearance.

The email reportedly said, "I know where her body is, and who the kidnapper is. Give me half a bitcoin and I’ll tell you,” noting that Nancy was "dead."

The sender also blasted being "disregarded as a scam" by authorities.

“It’s unbelievable that millions have been wasted and yet here I am willing to deliver them on a silver platter since the 11th of february for a bitcoin but I am disregarded as a scam," the first letter read. "They are free and the case is frozen but the ego’s remain hot when it comes to me."
