Nancy Guthrie investigators reviewing ‘new possible ransom note,’ sheriff’s department says

Investigators in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, say they are reviewing a new possible ransom note.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department released a statement late on Tuesday announcing that the joint sheriff’s department and the FBI task force was “recently made aware of a new possible ransom note related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation.”

“Investigators are also aware of social media comments regarding the note and are looking further into the information to determine its credibility,” the statement said.

Content of possible new Nancy Guthrie ransom note unknown

The department did not say who received the note, what is says or when it was sent. The sheriff’s department previously released the full text of two ransom notes sent to Tucson television station KOLD in hopes that someone would recognize the writer’s distinctive word choice and phrasing.

The first of those notes demanded bitcoin and included details about a white smartwatch and a destroyed floodlight that had not been made public.

The second claimed Guthrie died shortly after she was taken, according to the department’s release.
