SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT RELEASES GUTHRIE RANSOM NOTES

Nearly six months after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona, investigators released the full contents of two ransom notes in hopes of new leads that will bring investigators closer to her recovery. The first note came from someone who claimed they have her, and that “she is safe but scared” and would not be released until payment, $4 million USD in bitcoin, is received, according to the full messages released by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI Phoenix Field Office on Friday. The second note was directed at the “Guthrie Family” and claimed that Guthrie had died. “We did not fully grasp the seriousness of her physical condition,” the note read. “We never intended to hurt her, that was not our intention. She perished shortly after she was taken.” Correspondent Leigh Waldman has the latest in a 9:30pET PKG with FREE custom tags.
