Missing New York Woman Sparks Family Search After Bitcoin Texts
A family from New York is in a frantic search for a woman who disappeared while visiting a friend in Las Vegas. The search has taken a strange turn when the missing woman’s daughters began receiving texts from her phone demanding bitcoin.
The Disappearance
The woman, who was traveling to Las Vegas to visit a friend, was last seen leaving the hotel on a Friday evening. Her family reports that she never returned to the hotel or her home in New York. Police in both states have opened investigations, but no leads have emerged.
Cryptic Bitcoin Demands
After the disappearance, the woman’s daughters received a series of texts from her phone. The messages, which were sent from the missing woman’s number, demanded that the family send bitcoin to an unknown address. The texts also threatened to reveal personal information if the demand was not met.
Family’s Desperate Efforts
In an emotional appeal, the family has posted on social media and reached out to local law enforcement for assistance. They are also asking anyone with information about the missing woman or the bitcoin address to come forward. The family’s social media accounts have been flooded with messages of support, but the situation remains urgent.
Law Enforcement Response
Both New York and Nevada police departments are coordinating to track the missing woman’s last known movements. Investigators are also looking into the possibility that the bitcoin demands are a ransom scheme or a scam. The FBI has been notified, and cybercrime units are monitoring the digital trail.
