TMZ reports second letter demanding bitcoin in exchange for name of Guthrie kidnapper

TMZ reported Thursday afternoon that it had received a second email from a person demanding one bitcoin in exchange for the name of Nancy Guthrie's alleged kidnapper. 

"I am not being taken seriously," the person reportedly said in the message. 

TMZ reported that the person making the demand said he or she wants one bitcoin, worth about $65,000 today, to "lay low" out of fear of retaliation for giving up the kidnapper's name.

The messenger also reportedly said it would be the last demand and that he feared being incriminated like Carlos Palazuelos, who was detained and questioned in Rio Rico, Arizona, Tuesday night. 

The outlet says no bitcoin has been exchanged. 

Former FBI Assistant Director Chris Swecker told Fox News’ "The Faulkner Focus" he was "highly skeptical" regarding a first email requesting money in exchange for the kidnapper's name that was sent to TMZ Wednesday. 

"I just don’t think anything TMZ has brought forward has panned out. I mean it’s a good vehicle for people to come in and do this. TMZ gets some viewership, and it sort of ties up the investigative team trying to run this down. But I sense a scam here," Swecker said.

Swecker added he "may be absolutely wrong," but "bottom line" is he's "very skeptical of it."

Jim Gaffigan says comedy audiences are tired of political drama and just want to laugh again

Comedian Jim Gaffigan revealed in an interview why he's mostly steering clear of politics in his stand-up material these days. Gaffigan told Variety that comedy fans don’t attend stand-up shows to hear lectures. They go to escape the real world and simply laugh at silly jokes. When the interviewer mentioned the recent crossover between comedy and politics, Gaffigan responded, "People are coming to a show to have a break from some of this drama. That’s not to say there aren’t great comedians who talk about social commentary. The spirit of George Carlin is very important."  And he recalled his political jokes after President Donald Trump's first election victory in 2016 not landing how he'd imagined. COMEDIAN DUSTY SLAY REVEALS HOW FAITH AND SOBRIETY PAVED THE ROAD TO HIS STAND-UP SUCCESS "I remember when Trump was first elected, and my opening act had some political jokes.
