TMZ Reports Ransom Note Claims Savannah Guthrie’s Mother Nancy is Dead
TMZ recently reported on alarming developments in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie. The 84-year-old woman was last seen on February 1, 2026, and new ransom notes allegedly connected to her case have emerged.
Details of the Ransom Notes
According to TMZ, two additional ransom notes have been sent from an anonymous source. The initial note demanded one bitcoin for information regarding Nancy’s whereabouts. The latest message, received just days ago, escalated the situation by claiming that the sender knows where Nancy’s body is, as well as who is responsible for her kidnapping.
In a statement, TMZ founder Harvey Levin shared, “I know where her body is, and who the kidnapper is; give me half a bitcoin and I’ll tell you.” This alarming claim drew significant attention, especially following Savannah Guthrie’s return to the TODAY show after her mother’s disappearance.
Claims Made in the Notes
- The latest notes assert that Nancy Guthrie is deceased.
- One note claims the sender saw her alive in Sonora, Mexico.
- The author of the notes insists they were not involved in the crime but can provide crucial information.
- The sender has expressed frustration at being dismissed as a scam.
The ransom note specifically stipulated that the sender would provide information for half a bitcoin, with an additional half required upon a public arrest. They outlined their willingness to share this information, yet claimed they had been consistently disregarded by law enforcement.
Law Enforcement Response
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office has yet to issue any statements concerning these new ransom notes. Sheriff Chris Nanos and his team are still working to identify any suspects in the case, leaving many questions unanswered for both the Guthrie family and the public.
This ongoing situation raises serious concerns about safety and the emotional turmoil faced by Savannah Guthrie and her family. With the mysterious author persistently contacting media outlets, the investigation continues to unfold.
