Plea for Info: Mother Vanished, Ransom Notes Sent
1 Aug
Summary
- Authorities released two ransom notes six months after mother's disappearance.
- The first note demanded $4 million in bitcoin for her safe return.
- A second note stated she died shortly after being taken.
Six months after Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, her daughter Savannah has made a public appeal for any information that could help solve the case. Authorities in Pima County have released two ransom notes, hoping to uncover new leads.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31st. The first ransom note, sent to a local news outlet, directly addressed Savannah. It stated that her mother was being held and would be released upon payment of $4 million in bitcoin, specifying a seven-day window for the transaction.
A second note, received on February 6th, tragically contradicted the first. This message indicated that Nancy Guthrie had died shortly after her abduction, attributing her death to a heart-related issue. The note expressed sorrow for the outcome and stated she was buried in a natural setting.
The family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to their mother's return. They are pleading with anyone who might have noticed something unusual to come forward anonymously, emphasizing that any information, no matter how small, could be crucial in resolving this deeply distressing situation.
