Ransom Note Claims Savannah Guthrie’s Missing Mom Spotted Alive in Mexico
Nancy Guthrie has been missing since January 31, and recent developments have raised new questions about her fate. On April 6, while Savannah Guthrie returned to NBC’s Today show, TMZ revealed it had received ransom notes from an anonymous source claiming to have information about Nancy. The notes allege she was sighted in Mexico.
Ransom Notes and Alleged Sightings
During an episode of TMZ Live, hosts Charles Latibeaudiere and Harvey Levin discussed a ransom note that suggested Nancy was alive. The note, dated from February 11, stated, “It’s unbelievable that millions have been wasted… since I am willing to deliver them on a silver platter for a bitcoin.” The sender also expressed frustration about being dismissed as a scam.
Shortly after the first note, a second letter claimed the sender had seen Nancy alive in Sonora, Mexico, alongside alleged kidnappers. The note mentioned a desire for a peaceful life without the need for witness protection. This contradicts other claims that suggested Nancy may no longer be alive.
