A second note sent to media outlets has revealed that Nancy Guthrie had died, according to sources familiar with the matter. The note did not contain an apology or a request for payment for the release of her body. This information had not been previously disclosed.
The first note, sent earlier, claimed Nancy Guthrie was safe and demanded cryptocurrency in exchange for her release. The second note differed significantly from the first and did not ask for money. The FBI has described the suspect seen in the surveillance footage as a man of average build, approximately 5 feet 9 inches to 5 feet 10 inches tall, wearing a black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack 25-liter backpack.
Savannah Guthrie addressed her mother’s possible kidnapping in an Instagram video, stating the family would pay for her return. The FBI is urging anyone with information to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324).
