30 september 2026 в 21:02
In Pima County, there has been a new development in the case of the missing mother of television host Savannah Guthrie, Nancy. Sheriff Chris Nanos announced in a statement on Facebook that the investigative team working on Guthrie’s case recently learned about a new possible ransom note related to the investigation.
The statement also notes that investigators are aware of comments on social media regarding this note and are continuing to verify the information to determine its credibility. Nancy, who is 84 years old, was abducted from her home in Tucson on February 1.
In July, six months after Nancy’s abduction, the Sheriff’s Department released a press release detailing the case and two previous ransom notes sent to Savannah’s family. The agency emphasized that investigators continue to utilize all available technological and investigative methods.
The statement also mentions that two videos from Nancy’s doorbell camera have been recovered, which are believed to have been recorded on different days. These videos are significant for understanding the behavior and actions of an unidentified man who, according to investigators, was preparing for the abduction on the night of January 31 to February 1.
The Sheriff’s Department urged anyone who knows this man to report any changes in his behavior that may have occurred during that time. Specifically, these could include changes in mood, physical condition, or daily routine, as well as unexpected interests or lack of interest in Nancy’s neighborhood.
The statement also highlights the two ransom notes that were sent to local and national media. These notes contain unique linguistic features that may be familiar to someone who interacted with the author. The first note contained a threat that Nancy would be killed if a ransom of $ 4 million in Bitcoin was not paid on time.
The second note, which had not been previously published in full, claimed that the kidnappers were unaware of the seriousness of Nancy’s condition and that she presumably died shortly after the abduction. It also expressed regret and hope that the family would find peace.
Anyone with information about the case is strongly encouraged to call 1−800-CALL-FBI.
