New Ransom Note Claims Nancy Guthrie Died Shortly After Kidnapping
New details have emerged in the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Savannah Guthrie.
According to law enforcement sources, investigators believe a second note sent to media organizations after Nancy Guthrie's disappearance was a legitimate communication from the person or people responsible for her abduction. The note reportedly stated that Guthrie died shortly after being taken from her home near Tucson, Arizona.
The message followed an earlier note that demanded millions of dollars in ransom. Sources familiar with the investigation say both notes contained information that investigators believe could only have been known by those involved in the case.
The second note allegedly claimed the kidnappers did not intend for Guthrie to die and indicated there would be no further communication. Authorities have not publicly identified any suspects and have not confirmed the circumstances surrounding her reported death.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1. Days later, members of the Guthrie family released an emotional public appeal asking for her safe return.
Law enforcement agencies, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Pima County Sheriff's Department, continue to investigate the case. Officials say the investigation remains active and ongoing more than 20 weeks after Guthrie's disappearance.
Authorities have not announced any arrests and continue to ask anyone with information about the case to contact investigators.
