A devastating twist has emerged in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, as two ransom notes sent by the alleged kidnappers have been released by the local police. The notes, which were sent to the Guthrie family in February, have been made public in an effort to generate new leads and bring an end to the six-month ordeal.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her home near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has been investigating the case, and despite numerous leads, no one has been arrested or charged.

The Ransom Notes

The first note, sent on February 2 to a local news outlet, demanded $4 million in bitcoin by February 5. The note also mentioned a white smartwatch on the floor at the foot of Nancy’s bed and the destruction of the backyard floodlight. It warned, ‘Do not play games, law enforcement will not be able to help you.’

The second note, sent on February 6, revealed a shocking twist: Nancy Guthrie had died soon after her kidnapping. The note stated, ‘We believe it was heart related. She is buried in nature now. Nothing you could have done could have changed the outcome. We want your family to know this and hope you all can find peace. We are truly sorry.’

The Guthrie family has been devastated by the news, and Savannah Guthrie has been vocal about her desire for justice. In a recent post on Instagram, she wrote, ‘This is our beautiful Mom. Six months ago, someone took her out of her bed in the dead of night. We have lived every moment, every breath and every heartbeat in agony and despair ever since.’

The family is now begging for help, pleading with anyone who may have information to come forward. They are desperate for a resolution and are willing to do whatever it takes to bring Nancy home.

The Investigation

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has been working tirelessly to solve the case, but so far, no one has been arrested or charged. The department has released a list of behaviors that could signal involvement in the kidnapping, including suspicious behavior around the time of the incident and any unusual writing or communication.

In July, a California man pleaded guilty to sending phony ransom notes to the Guthrie family in an effort to harass them. This incident highlights the importance of verifying the authenticity of any ransom notes or communication.

The investigation is ongoing, and the police are urging anyone with information to come forward. The family is holding on to hope that justice will be served and Nancy will be brought home soon.

In a desperate bid to generate new leads, the police have released the ransom notes on X for the public to view. They are also asking anyone who may have information to contact them directly.

The Family’s Plea

The Guthrie family has posted a heartfelt plea on Instagram, asking for anyone with information to come forward. They are desperate for a resolution and are willing to do whatever it takes to bring Nancy home.

‘We are begging for help. We are desperate. We need someone to come forward. Someone knows something. Someone suspects something. Someone recognizes the writing in the ransom demand notes. Someone has noticed something different, strange, troubling or just unusual — perhaps with someone they deeply love,’ the post reads.
