(Tucson, AZ) Reports state that a second ransom note regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie indicated that she died. The Guthrie family received two notes in the days after the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie was abducted from her Tucson-area home in the early morning hours of February 1st. Both notes were sent to Tucson media outlets and were determined as potentially credible by investigators. The first note demanded cryptocurrency for the return of Nancy Guthrie. News reports confirm that the second note said that she had died shortly after her abduction, but did not include an apology or request for payment in exchange for her body.
