Local authorities in Arizona release two ransom notes tied to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TV host Savannah Guthrie. Multiple outlets report that the notes are provided as investigators seek new leads in a case that began after Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson-area home in early February. ABC News and the New York Times say she has been missing for nearly six months. Sky News and NBC News describe the release of early ransom notes and additional correspondence sent to her family after her disappearance. Several reports state the first note is addressed to Savannah Guthrie and was sent about a day after Nancy Guthrie went missing. Other coverage says a second note is also purportedly from the kidnappers and references the amount of a demanded ransom. Some outlets further report that the later note alleges Guthrie died shortly after being taken. Newsweek and the Sydney Morning Herald say the notes were released in full to the public following the sheriff’s efforts to generate tips.
