Nearly five months after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home, a chilling new detail has emerged — one of the ransom notes sent to her family contained an apology for her accidental death.
The 6 February email was traced to the same IP address as earlier ransom communications in the case. Those earlier messages had already stood out to investigators because they included specific, non-public details — among them, what Guthrie had been wearing on the night she disappeared and the presence of a damaged floodlight in her backyard. That level of detail had led investigators to believe they were dealing with the real kidnappers, rather than opportunists seeking to exploit the case.
