Ransom note claims Nancy Guthrie died after abduction
Ransom note claims Nancy Guthrie died after abduction (BBC)A ransom note sent days after the 84-year-old mother of US presenter Savannah Guthrie was abducted from her home claimed she had died, according to investigators.
The note was one of two addressed to Nancy Guthrie's family and sent to news media in the days after her January kidnapping.
The first demanded millions in bitcoin for her release, but the second stated that she had died, according to sources cited by US media.
The note from the possible kidnappers reportedly stated they did not mean for her to die and included an apology to the family. The Pima County Sheriff's Department declined to comment on the contents of the notes, but said the investigation "remains active and ongoing".
