Summary
Federal investigators have determined that three ransom notes sent to media outlets regarding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie — the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie — were fake and unrelated to her abduction. Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson-area home on January 31. The notes, sent to local media and TMZ, demanded Bitcoin payments totaling millions of dollars and later claimed she was dead. Investigators confirmed the notes had no connection to the case.
