The Pima County Sheriff’s Department released two notes allegedly from the kidnapper of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared six months ago. The first note, sent on February 2, demanded a $4 million ransom in bitcoin from her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, a “Today” show co-host, threatening to kill Nancy if the ransom wasn’t paid by February 9. The second note, dated February 6, claimed Nancy died shortly after being taken, possibly from heart-related issues, and expressed regret, stating she was buried in nature. The sheriff’s department hopes the unique writing style in the notes might be recognized by the public to aid the investigation.
