The 84-year-old mother of American television personality Savannah Guthrie was abducted from her home in January. Investigators have revealed that a ransom note was received several days after the kidnapping. This note claimed Nancy Guthrie had died, according to BBC News reports. Two messages were sent to the family and subsequently disseminated to the press following the abduction. Authorities are currently investigating the validity of the claim and the circumstances surrounding both the kidnapping and the ransom demands. The investigation remains active as officials work to determine Nancy Guthrie’s fate and identify those responsible.
