Linguistic Clues Behind Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Revealed in Two Ransom Notes

Arizona police publicly released two ransom notes tied to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance: the first demanded $4 million in bitcoin (rising to $6 million if unpaid by Monday), while the second claimed she had died. Officials say the notes’ distinctive word choices could help identify the writer, and Savannah Guthrie urged the public to come forward. Nancy Guthrie disappeared on Feb. 1 and was reported to take daily medications whose absence could be fatal.
