The FBI Guthrie Task Force and Pima County Sheriff's Department determined that a possible ransom text that surfaced on 28 September was not credible in the Nancy Guthrie investigation, according to the report on the case. By Sunday, 4 October, the search for the mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie had reached eight months.
The message followed earlier fake emails, messages and social media posts, some containing demands for cryptocurrency or Bitcoin. Authorities have continued to state that they are searching for leads, while the report states that no suspects have been named in Guthrie's disappearance.
