Authorities Release Ransom Notes in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Case After Six Months

Authorities Release Ransom Notes in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Case After Six MonthsPreviousNext

Authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie, have released two ransom notes six months after she vanished from her Tucson home. The notes demand $4 million in cryptocurrency, threaten harm if unpaid, and claim she died shortly after abduction, though officials have not confirmed her status. Investigators hope the notes' language will help identify suspects. Savannah Guthrie has made emotional public appeals for information, while law enforcement continues an active search with no arrests yet.
