Within a week of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, two notes purportedly written by her abductors were sent to local news outlets. The first note demanded a ransom of millions of dollars for her return, while the second note claimed she was dead, although the culprit did not intend to kill her.
Investigation Ongoing
The contents of the second note were only recently revealed, nearly five months after Guthrie’s disappearance. Law enforcement had requested that the contents of both notes be kept private to aid in the investigation. They wanted to authenticate the notes and determine if they were sent by the actual kidnappers.
Authorities also believed that releasing the information would compromise the investigation and potentially harm their chances of finding Guthrie. The case remains active, and investigators are still reviewing evidence, including video footage, cellular analysis, and DNA testing.
Savannah Guthrie, Nancy’s daughter, has urged anyone with information about her mother’s disappearance to come forward, even if anonymously. The FBI hotline is 1-800-CALL-FBI.
