The latest ransom note linked to the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie may be less about demanding money and more about avoiding a death sentence, according to a former FBI agent who has studied the case.
Former agent Jennifer Coffindafer believes the new communication is written to soften legal responsibility for what happened to the 84-year-old mother of 'Today' anchor Savannah Guthrie, rather than to clarify events. In her view, the wording appears carefully chosen to suggest Nancy's death was not intended, language that could later be used in court.
