Second ransom note says Nancy Guthrie died after abduction

newsJun 22, 202651229

A second ransom note sent to a Tucson TV station said Nancy Guthrie died shortly after her Feb. 1 abduction. Guthrie, 84, the mother of NBC "Today" host Savannah Guthrie, was taken from her Arizona home in the early morning hours of Feb. 1; an earlier note demanded millions in cryptocurrency for her return. Law enforcement said the second note included an apology and that multiple ransom communications and related emails are being analyzed, with some tied to the same computer IP address. The claim shifts the probe toward a possible homicide investigation, intensifies federal involvement, and raises urgency to identify whoever sent the communications.

It's a damn shame we do not have better leadership in the FBI at the moment.

Seems the only evidence the FBI can produce is evidence of their failure.

Given her heart condition, no way she is still alive. And the horror of being kidnapped, wld for most folks cause heart irregularities. For someone with cardio probs, a death sentence. I was truly just wondering about her last week. Clearly they have not been told where she was buried.

Not to worry, Inspector Patel of the FBI is on it!

Kash Patel was all over this one.....not. Not sober, at least.

I'm still firmly in camp "Let's ask what ICE agents/redcaps were in the area." There's no fucking way that the mother of the one reporter who interviewed Epstein victims suddenly gets targeted like this on a whim.

This is so deeply sad for them and their family.

This is insanely sad - and I cannot believe they haven’t found her yet, just crazy

Unfathomably senseless. I still don't understand why someone wasn't sent to check the home after the security video was triggered. Was no alarm actually set? Where is the monitoring or oversight when you pay for a system to protect your safety?
