The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Two ransom notes in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, 84-year-old mother of 'Today' host Savannah Guthrie, were released by investigators in Tucson more than six months after she was abducted from her home.
- The notes, sent to a local CBS station in February, demanded $4 million in bitcoin and later claimed she died of a heart-related issue shortly after being taken.
- Their release came a day after Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS News he had no note in the case.
- Authorities hope publishing the notes will help someone identify the sender, though experts question their authenticity and the dropped ransom demand.
What to watch next
- Whether the public release of the notes generates new tips or identifies the sender
- Any official comment from the Pima County Sheriff's office on the apparent contradiction with Nanos's remarks
- Confirmation of whether investigators consider the notes authentic
