Summary
A cybersecurity firm worth two billion dollars classified Nancy Guthrie’s alleged abduction as a wrench attack by proxy. Their language, not ours. A wrench attack is a crypto-targeted crime. Nancy Guthrie is eighty-four years old with no known cryptocurrency holdings. That disconnect is the center of this conversation. If CertiK’s classification is accurate, the person who was taken may not have been the intended target. Catalina Foothills is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Tucson. Someone in that ZIP code may hold the kind of crypto that draws a six-million-dollar ransom demand. And if whoever showed up at Nancy’s address was looking for that person, they found an eighty-four-year-old woman instead — and had a problem they couldn’t walk away from. Meanwhile, volunteers have searched the border region three separate times after anonymous tips. Twenty-five unmarked graves found. None connected to Nancy. The Tohono O’odham reservation offers seventy-two miles of minimally monitored border. DNA sits at Quantico. The sheriff faces a recall. And the question nobody else is asking out loud: if Nancy wasn’t the target, the real one may still be living nearby. Jennifer Coffindaffer, contributor to Hidden Killers, breaks it down.
