The New York Times • • nation
Key Points:
- Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped on February 1 near Tucson, Arizona, and ransom notes were sent shortly after her abduction.
- The first ransom note, dated February 2, demanded $4 million in Bitcoin for Nancy’s release, stating she was “safe but scared,” while a later note claimed she died unexpectedly from a medical condition.
- The Pima County Sheriff’s Department released the ransom notes nearly six months later, hoping the distinctive language patterns might help identify the kidnapper, though they have not confirmed the notes' authenticity.
- Despite releasing doorbell camera footage showing a masked and armed man at Nancy Guthrie’s home, investigators have yet to identify the suspect or make significant progress in the case.
