The Arizona sheriff whose department, along with the FBI, is investigating the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie, is speaking out after a new demand letter claimed to have evidence tying two people to the case.
TMZ reported on Friday, June 26, that the person who sent the email to the outlet said they have a phone stashed in a “secure location” containing what they claimed was a video of the “main” suspect with Nancy on the last day they believe she was alive.
The sender added that the phone also contains pictures, names, ages and addresses of “both involved,” as well as a bitcoin address. TMZ reported that it forwarded the note to the FBI.
On Tuesday, Savannah Guthrie made an emotional plea from the “Today” show set asking the public for help finding her mother.
“Please, if you’re watching, no matter how small the reward is there, you can tell us. It can be anonymous,” the NBC anchor said. “We love our mom and we’ll never stop looking for her. Never.”
KOLD-TV – a Tucson, Arizona, station that received both notes – held off on reporting their contents, news outlets including Air Mail, NBC and ABC over the past week began to publish what the notes said.
“Friends, we have held off on sharing the contents of the notes we received from someone allegedly involved in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. We initially did this because we wanted no part in compromising the investigation and out of respect for the family, and that has not changed,” KOLD’s Mary Coleman wrote on Facebook on Monday morning.
