Authorities are investigating a potential new ransom note concerning the nearly eight-month-old case of Nancy Guthrie, who went missing from her home outside Tucson. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI Guthrie Task Force received this possible ransom communication along with related social media comments but have not disclosed specifics about its content or discovery method. Previous ransom notes suggested Guthrie was either safe and would be released for a cryptocurrency payment or had died shortly after being kidnapped; however, her current status remains unclear as no suspects have been arrested in the case.

Story summary
Nearly eight months after Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, was forcibly abducted from her home outside Tucson on February 1, authorities are investigating a possible new ransom note related to her disappearance. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI Guthrie Task Force received information about this potential ransom note along with social media comments suggesting its authenticity. However, after further review, investigators determined that the text message is not credible, ruling it out as one of several red herrings sent in the months following her disappearance. Earlier, two ransom notes were released: the first demanded $4 million in cryptocurrency and claimed Guthrie was safe but scared; the second note falsely stated she had died shortly after being kidnapped. Despite extensive investigation involving federal authorities, no suspects have been arrested, and there has been little progress in resolving this case that drew national attention.
