The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and FBI have released two ransom notes sent to the family of Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared earlier this year, in an effort to identify those responsible for her kidnapping. The first note was delivered one day after Guthrie went missing, addressed directly to Savannah Guthrie, while the second indicated that Guthrie “perished shortly after she was taken.” Investigators are hoping the public will recognize “distinct linguistic characteristics” within the notes.
The ransom notes detail a claim that Nancy Guthrie was initially ‘safe but scared,’ according to NBC News’ review of their contents. However, the second note asserts her death soon after being abducted. The Sheriff's Department released the notes seeking assistance in identifying the writer(s), as reported by the Washington Examiner and Hollywood Reporter.
The Daily Caller also reports that one of the ransom notes claimed Guthrie had ‘perished shortly after she was taken.’ No right-leaning outlets covered this story beyond the Daily Caller and Washington Examiner.
With the release of these communications, authorities hope to generate new leads in a case that has remained unresolved for months.
