Multiple US outlets report that a ransom note connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC’s “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, states that Guthrie has died. CNN and other organizations are cited as reporting on the contents of the note, with some accounts saying the letter also claims the abductors did not intend for her to be killed and that she died shortly after her disappearance. Indian outlet Mint and Australian outlets including The West Australian and PerthNow similarly describe investigators’ belief that the note saying she died came from the abductors. ABC Australia also reports that one of the notes includes the claim she died after being abducted. The Mirror characterizes the note as including an apology related to her death. The Hollywood Reporter adds that, according to local news stations, two different letters were received in the days following her disappearance. Across reports, authorities are still treating the situation as an ongoing case tied to ransom note communications sent to media.
