The hunt for the "Hiker from Hell" is officially on. The FBI has just slapped a massive $100,000 bounty on the masked predator who snatched 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson home. As the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother hits a desperate Day 12, investigators have narrowed the target to a suspect carrying a specific black Ozark Trail hiker pack. But the mystery goes deeper. Chilling letters sent to TMZ demand a Bitcoin ransom, with a cryptic tipster warning: “I am not being taken seriously.” 

At the Bitcoin2025 Conference in Las Vegas on Tuesday, US Vice President JD Vance said the Trump administration strongly supports cryptocurrency. He told the audience that President Trump stands with the crypto community and is working to undo rules made under President Biden that he believes harmed the industry. “With President Trump, crypto finally has a friend in the White House,” Vance said. He said the administration is focused on cutting regulations and stopping what he called unfair treatment of crypto. “We’re removing the red tape and legal attacks used against crypto by the previous administration,” he said. Vance also said the administration fired SEC Chair Gary Gensler and plans to replace other officials they see as anti-crypto.
