Authorities have released two ransom notes as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, six months after she was kidnapped from her Tucson-area home. The Pima County Sheriff's Department is seeking public assistance in identifying the author of the notes, citing a unique linguistic style.
The first ransom note was released to the public on May 16th as investigators hope someone will recognize the handwriting or phrasing. According to the sheriff’s department, Guthrie was taken from her home in early December and remains missing. The release of the notes is an attempt to generate leads in the case.
Both the ABC News and Fox News reports emphasize the unique style of the ransom demands as a key element in the search for the perpetrator. Fox News specifically noted that the Pima County Sheriff’s Department believes someone may recognize the author based on this stylistic trait. The Independent also reported on the release of an early ransom note, echoing the hope that public recognition of the writing will aid the investigation.
No details regarding the content of the notes beyond their linguistic style have been released to the public. Authorities have not disclosed the amount of any ransom demanded or provided information about potential suspects. The investigation remains ongoing, and Guthrie’s whereabouts are still unknown. With no new leads emerging publicly, the case hinges on whether someone recognizes characteristics within the released notes.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department has not announced a timeline for when they expect to have more information regarding the case or if any suspects have been identified.
