United StatesA California man, Derrick Anthony Callella, has been ordered by a federal judge to undergo inpatient substance abuse treatment while awaiting sentencing for sending fraudulent ransom messages to the family of missing Arizona woman Nancy Guthrie. Guthrie, 84, went missing from her home in Tucson on February 1, and ransom demands were made to both her family and local media. Callella was arrested after the FBI identified him as the sender of the fake messages. He pleaded guilty to two counts of harassment using a telecommunications device and is set to be sentenced on September 10. Federal investigators have stated that an earlier ransom demand sent to local media does not match Callella's behavior and remains under investigation. The court's order requires Callella to reside at a treatment facility or halfway house, comply with program requirements, and contribute to treatment costs. The U.S. Marshals Service can detain him if he fails to comply, and upon completion, he may live in a home approved by pretrial services.
