The kidnappers of Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, have sent a letter claiming she has died, according to CNN sources. The letter followed an initial ransom demand for millions of dollars. Law enforcement sources indicate the kidnappers stated Guthrie died shortly after her abduction, despite not intending to cause her harm. News outlets CNN and a Tucson, Arizona, television station received the letters but withheld the information at the request of the family and authorities to maintain investigative integrity. Nancy Guthrie, 84, was abducted from her home near Tucson in late January. Despite the claim of death, individuals have since contacted media outlets, including TMZ, offering information about the kidnappers and Guthrie’s location in exchange for cryptocurrency. A reward of one million dollars is offered for information leading to her safe return.
