Nancy Guthrie Ransom Notes Released by Sheriff: ‘She Perished Shortly After She Was Taken’

The Pima County Sheriff's Office has released two ransom notes related to the abduction of Nancy Guthrie. The documents, sent via email by an alleged kidnapper, provide new details regarding the timeline of the victim's death. According to the correspondence, the perpetrator claimed that Guthrie died unexpectedly shortly after she was taken.

The first of the two notes demanded a multi-million dollar ransom for Guthrie’s release. The subsequent message informed authorities that she had already perished. These communications serve as key evidence in the ongoing investigation into the kidnapping, marking the first time the sheriff's office has made the contents of the emails public.
