Authorities and multiple outlets report that a second note sent to media outlets after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance says she died. NBC News and MSNBC both report that the second note contains no request for payment for the return of her body, and it does not include an apology or a request for money. CBS News reports investigators believe the two notes addressed to Guthrie’s family were likely produced by the person or group that abducted her. CBS describes the first note as demanding millions in bitcoin, while the second indicates she died, not intentionally.

Other reporting, including the BBC, states the note reportedly says the kidnappers did not mean for her to die and includes an apology to the family. Sky News also reports the note claims she died, without further detail. The discrepancies among outlets center on whether the second note includes an apology and/or conveys that the death was unintended. Investigators continue to review the notes and related information as the case remains under investigation.
