Federal investigators have dismantled the central piece of evidence driving public belief that Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped for money.
The FBI has told Reuters that all three ransom notes tied to the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of NBC 'Today' anchor Savannah Guthrie are fabricated. The assessment covers two notes reported in early February, days after Guthrie vanished, and a third, more recent message sent to the celebrity gossip outlet TMZ. The finding does not confirm whether Guthrie was abducted for ransom at all, and it arrives five months into an unsolved case that has gripped American television audiences.
