Missing Woman Case: Ransom Note Sparks New Theory
31 Mar
Summary
- Nancy Guthrie has been missing for two months.
- Speculation suggests a ransom note was an apology.
- Guthrie had serious health conditions requiring medication.

The investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie is ongoing, two months after she was reported missing on January 31. Recent speculation has emerged suggesting that one of the alleged ransom notes sent to the media may have been an apology letter. This theory, discussed on 'The Megyn Kelly Show,' posits that the sender apologized for not understanding the seriousness of Guthrie's heart condition, indicating she had passed away.
However, former FBI supervisory special agent James Hamilton expressed skepticism about the ransom notes' authenticity. He stated that scam artists often prey on vulnerability and grief, making claims to solicit money. The Pima County Sheriff's Department previously revealed that Guthrie had a pacemaker, limited mobility, and required daily medication for high blood pressure and heart issues. Early in the investigation, two ransom notes were received, with the first demanding millions in Bitcoin for her return.
