The American television host Savannah Guthrie says that her family is “in agony” following the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, in January.
Her situation has grown increasingly anguished after investigators revealed that a ransom note sent days after Guthrie, then 84, was kidnapped at her home claimed that she had died.
The note was one of two addressed to Guthrie’s family and sent to the media after her kidnapping. The first demanded millions of bitcoins in exchange for her release, while the second announced her death.
While the family remains in anticipation of news about the woman’s whereabouts, the Pima County Sheriff said the investigation remains ongoing.
A social sharing widget was included on the page, with a link to the article titled “Note asserts that Nancy Guthrie had died.”
