Ransom Notes in Guthrie Case Released to Spur New Leads

Police in Pima County released two ransom notes tied to the February kidnapping of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, including a claim that she died of a heart issue and a bitcoin payment demand that began at $4 million and later rose to $6 million; authorities say the writing style may help identify the author and urge anyone who recognizes it to come forward, while Savannah Guthrie publicly pleads for information and the Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return.
