FBI determines Nancy Guthrie kidnapping notes to be fakes, source says
Investigators say the notes were sent to media outlets and not linked to the case, while the family is offering a $1 million reward.
- On Tuesday, the Federal Bureau of Investigation determined three ransom notes related to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance are fakes. Officials stated none of the communications, which surfaced after the 84-year-old vanished, are believed to be genuine.
- Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, in early February, and the messages in question were initially delivered to various media outlets before being turned over to authorities.
- Savannah Guthrie, co-host of NBC's Today, has repeatedly appealed to the public for information regarding her mother. Her family remains in "agony" and continues to offer $1 million for details leading to her recovery.
- Citing an agreement to refer inquiries to the FBI, the Pima County Sheriff's Department declined to comment on the notes. Officials confirmed the case remains an active investigation involving ongoing forensic analysis.
- Investigators believe the notes, which included cryptocurrency demands and claims of video evidence, originated from individuals unconnected to Guthrie's disappearance. This finding complicates the fundamental premise that she was abducted for ransom.
