It does not document the information he wanted.On February 4, 2026, Derrick Callella sent text messages to A.G. and T.C. — Nancy Guthrie’s daughter and son-in-law — from a VoIP number. The message asked about a bitcoin transaction. About three minutes later, a nine-second call was placed to a family member.In the factual basis, Callella admitted he sent the texts to see if the family would respond.
