Sheriff releases Nancy Guthrie ransom notes six months after she vanished

Sheriff releases Nancy Guthrie ransom notes six months after she vanished

Authorities have released notes received shortly after Nancy Guthrie went missing, as the search crosses the six-month mark, according to FOX 26. The Pima County Sheriff's Office in Arizona says the two notes reveal distinctive patterns of word choice, syntax and phraseology, and hopes someone might recognize the writing and come forward. A note sent on February 2nd said the family's mother was safe but scared, while a February 6th note claimed she had perished shortly after she was taken, believed to be heart related. Investigators remain focused on doorbell camera videos showing a masked man at the home, and Sheriff Chris Nanos says the information is being released now to jog memories, with no suspect named and no sign of the 84-year-old.

Authorities have released notes received shortly after Nancy Guthrie went missing, according to a report by FOX 26. As the search crosses the six-month mark, the Pima County Sheriff's Office in Arizona and the Guthrie family say they are still looking for answers.

The two notes reveal distinctive patterns of word choice, syntax and phraseology, according to the Sheriff's Office. Investigators hope that someone might recognize the writing and come forward.

The note sent on February 2nd reads in part, hello Savannah, we have your mother Nancy, and says she is safe but scared, according to FOX 26. It was addressed to Guthrie's daughter.

The note sent on February 6th then says she perished shortly after she was taken, and that they believe it was heart related, according to the report. The notes were originally sent to the local CBS affiliate in Tucson.

In a post commemorating six months since her mother went missing, Savannah Guthrie appealed for anyone who recognizes the writing in the notes to come forward, according to FOX 26. She said it can be done anonymously and that a reward is available.

Investigators remain focused on two doorbell camera videos showing a masked man at the home the night of the disappearance and potentially from a different day, according to the report. The Sheriff's Department says the videos are critical to understanding the unidentified male's behaviors and indicate he took steps to prepare for the event on the night of January 31st into February 1st.

Sheriff Chris Nanos says they are releasing all of the information now in the hopes it will jog someone's memory, according to FOX 26. Six months after the disappearance, there has still been no suspect named and no sign of the 84-year-old.
