On February 1st, Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona. Days after the disappearance, two notes deemed “potentially credible” by investigators were sent to media outlets claiming to be from the person responsible.
The first note, received one day after the disappearance, reportedly said that Guthrie was safe and requested millions in cryptocurrency in exchange for her release. Investigators took it seriously because it reportedly went into specific details about Guthrie’s bedroom and the interior of the home that weren’t available to the general public.
