The Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) announced the discovery of a possible ransom note in the ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. This news emerged on late Monday, September 28, 2026, as authorities continue efforts to resolve the case.
The PCSD/FBI Guthrie Task Force recently learned about the note, as revealed by a post on X. This development follows nearly eight months after Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished on January 31 from her home in Tucson, Arizona, at the age of 84.
The investigation team is evaluating discussions and posts on social media regarding the note. This step aims to assess its authenticity and determine if it contributes significant insights to the case.
Newsweek remains in contact with the sheriff’s department for further details. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
