Ransom note in Nancy Guthrie case claims abducted woman died
What's new: A second note sent days after Nancy Guthrie vanished reportedly dropped the bitcoin demand and apologized for her death.
A ransom note sent after the abduction of Nancy Guthrie claimed the missing Arizona woman died, as investigators in Pima County and the FBI continued to pursue leads months after her disappearance. Guthrie vanished after relatives dropped her off at her home near Tucson on Jan. 31. An initial note sent the next day demanded millions of dollars in bitcoin and included detailed information about her house, investigators told CBS. A second note, reportedly sent on Feb. 6, used similar language but made no demand and instead apologized, saying her death was inadvertent. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings later released a video pleading for their mother's return, while authorities warned she was in poor health and without critical medication.
