Pima County Sheriff Releases Ransom Notes in Nancy Guthrie Case to Spur Leads
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has released two ransom notes related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, hoping to generate new leads in the investigation. Guthrie, the mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, went missing from her Tucson-area home on February 1. The first note demanded $4 million in bitcoin, claiming she would be released unharmed, while a second note suggested she had perished and was buried in nature. The sheriff's office believes that the writing style or content of the notes might be recognized by someone in the community, prompting them to come forward with information. The investigation remains active, with detectives analyzing DNA, surveillance footage, and other evidence. Savannah Guthrie has made a public plea for assistance, urging anyone who recognizes the writing or has noticed suspicious behavior to contact authorities.
