Authorities confirmed they are aware of a new possible ransom note connected to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
It’s been nearly eight months since the mother of Savannah Guthrie went missing from her Catalina Foothills home. She was 84-years-old at the time of her disappearance.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said officials were recently made aware of the possible ransom note as well as social media comments related to it, and that investigators are working to determine its credibility.
There was no further information that officials could provide, said Salma Duarte, a public information officer for the sheriff’s department.
In July, authorities released two ransom notes initially sent to KOLD, CBS-affiliate television station in Tucson after Guthrie went missing on Feb. 1 from her home.
The first note was sent Feb. 2, according to the investigators, and said Guthrie was safe but scared and would be released unharmed once her captors received $4 million in cryptocurrency.
The second note, sent four days later, said Guthrie died shortly after she was kidnapped. Authorities have not said whether Guthrie is still alive.
No suspects have been arrested in her disappearance.
On Feb. 10, the FBI and the sheriff’s department released surveillance video and still images of a masked, armed suspect who approached Guthrie’s front door. The footage appeared to show the suspect tampering with a camera on Guthrie’s front porch and blocking the camera with a plant.
Savannah Guthrie and her family have issued multiple emotional public pleas for information regarding the abduction.
