@sacramentourbanmedia916: A California man has pleaded guilty to sending a fake ransom message to the family of #NancyGuthrie, the missing mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie. Federal prosecutors say Derrick Callella, 42, sent texts to Nancy Guthrie’s relatives shortly after they publicly pleaded for information about her disappearance. Authorities say the messages falsely referenced a Bitcoin payment and were not connected to any legitimate ransom demand. Investigators allege Callella was attempting to gather information about the ongoing case. He now faces up to two years in prison or a $250,000 fine and is scheduled to be sentenced on September 10. Should fake ransom messages carry tougher penalties?#fyp #viral
