A newly released ransom note claims Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, died shortly after being abducted from her Tucson home, although authorities say they have not verified the claim and continue to investigate the case as an active missing-person inquiry.
The message, dated 6 February, states that Guthrie "perished shortly after she was taken" and says she is 'buried in nature.' The author apologises to the family, claiming her death was 'heart related' and unintended.
