TUCSON, Ariz. – Authorities are investigating a potential new ransom note related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for nearly eight months from her home near Tucson, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
Recently, the sheriff’s department and the FBI Guthrie Task Force became aware of this possible ransom note, in addition to various comments on social media about the case. They are currently working to verify the note’s authenticity and what it might mean for the investigation.
Details regarding how the note was discovered or its specific contents have not been shared with the public yet. This follows a troubling timeline since Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance on February 1, when authorities first received ransom notes sent to a Tucson television station just days after she went missing.
The first note, dated February 2, claimed that Nancy was safe but scared, stating that she would be released unharmed once her captors received $4 million in cryptocurrency. A second note, sent on February 6, controversially claimed that Nancy had died shortly after her kidnapping. Authorities have not confirmed whether she is still alive.
As of now, no suspects have been arrested in connection with her disappearance. The investigation remains complex and filled with unanswered questions, including how many individuals were involved in her abduction and whether the perpetrator was someone known to her.
In addition to the ransom notes, the FBI has released surveillance footage showing a masked individual tampering with a camera on Nancy Guthrie’s front porch and subsequently blocking it with a plant. This footage adds another layer of intrigue to an already perplexing case.
Nancy Guthrie’s family has been actively seeking information about her disappearance, sharing heartfelt pleas through videos on social media. They continue to hope for answers and the safe return of their loved one.
