What happened

Pima County authorities publicly released two ransom notes in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, including a Feb. 6 message claiming the 84-year-old died soon after being taken and was “buried in nature.” Guthrie, the mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, vanished six months ago from her Tucson, Arizona, home after being taken from her bed. Investigators said they released the handwritten notes because the author’s language, grammar, phrasing or handwriting may be recognizable. Savannah Guthrie renewed the family’s plea for information, saying they need someone to come forward.
