FBI: Some ransom notes in Nancy Guthrie disappearance may be legitimate
TL;DR
The FBI says ransom notes in Nancy Guthrie’s Arizona disappearance are split: some extortion demands are deemed illegitimate, while others remain under investigation as potentially legitimate in a kidnapping-for-ransom case, contrary to Reuters’ report that notes were fake; investigators tested one note with cryptocurrency but left the funds, and the search continues after surveillance showed a masked man on Guthrie’s porch.
