The sheriff's department and the FBI Guthrie Task Force were
recently made aware of the possible ransom note as well as
social media comments related to it, the statement from the
sheriff's department said. Investigators are working to
determine its credibility.
Officials did not immediately release details on how they found
the note or what was in it.
In July, authorities released two ransom notes initially sent to
a Tucson television station days after the mother of “Today”
show host Savannah Guthrie went missing on Feb. 1.
The first note, sent Feb. 2, said Nancy Guthrie was safe but
scared and would be released unharmed once her captors received
$4 million in cryptocurrency. The second note, sent Feb. 6, said
Guthrie died shortly after she was kidnapped. Authorities have
not said whether Guthrie is still alive.
No suspects have been arrested in her disappearance. The
investigation is dogged by unanswered questions, such as how
many people are believed to have taken part in her abduction and
whether she was taken by someone who knew her.
The FBI had also released surveillance videos of a masked person
who authorities said appeared to tamper with a camera on Nancy
Guthrie’s front porch and block it with a plant.
Nancy Guthrie's family has shared their pleas for information in
videos posted to social media.
