UMVA has learned that a shocking revelation has emerged in the ongoing case of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC presenter Savannah Guthrie, who went missing in February.
Nancy's alleged kidnappers have sent a ransom note to media outlets, revealing that she died shortly after being taken from her home. The note was sent hours after she went missing on February 1, and it demanded a ransom in Bitcoin.
The ransom note reportedly included accurate details about Nancy, such as a description of her clothes and a broken light at her home in Arizona. The note claimed that Nancy was "safe but scared" and demanded $4 million in Bitcoin, which would rise to $6 million if not paid by February 5.
Investigators reportedly found the message credible and chose to send a smaller sum, $152, in an attempt to track the money. However, the money in the Bitcoin account remained untouched.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that another ransom note was delivered, offering an "apology" for Nancy's death and claiming her body could be delivered for $4 million. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are working together to investigate the case.
Savannah Guthrie and her siblings released an emotional video on February 7, pleading for their mother's return and offering to pay for her safe return. Despite their efforts, Nancy has been missing for nearly five months now.
The case has raised questions about whether law enforcement made a mistake in the investigation's early days. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and Savannah Guthrie's representatives have been contacted for comment, but no response has been received.
Nancy's disappearance has left her family and the community in a state of uncertainty and distress. The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working tirelessly to uncover the truth behind her disappearance and death.
