The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie
Published by RawNews1st
Arizona’s Family sister station, KOLD 13 News in Tucson, has received a second message that appears to be from the same person(s) previously claiming to have abducted Nancy Guthrie.
Station staff received the message on Friday morning, which was sent to law enforcement along with the IP address. While it did not have the same IP address as the previous message, it appeared that the sender used the same type of secure server to hide their real IP address.
Specific details are not being released out of respect for the family. However, the new note reportedly contains information that will prove to investigators that it is the same person or group who sent the first message earlier this week.
Friday marked day six in the search for Guthrie, who was last seen at her home last Saturday night, Jan. 31. Authorities have still not identified any suspects or persons of interest in the 84-year-old’s disappearance.
The latest message arrived a day after “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s brother renewed the family’s plea for their mother’s possible kidnapper to contact them.
“Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly,” Camron Guthrie said in a video posted on social media.
Authorities think she was taken against her will from her home in Tucson over the weekend. DNA tests showed blood found on Guthrie’s front porch was a match to her, the sheriff said.
“Right now, we believe Nancy is still out there. We want her home,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said at a news conference Thursday. He acknowledged, however, that authorities have no evidence she’s OK.
A previous ransom note was sent to at least three media outlets, including KOLD, on Monday. Heith Janke, the FBI chief in Phoenix, said details included a demand for money with a Thursday evening deadline and a second deadline for Monday if the first one wasn’t met. At least one note mentioned a floodlight at Guthrie’s home and an Apple watch, Janke said.
