Shocking new details are being released of the first Nancy Guthrie ransom note.
This was reportedly sent after the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie.
The note begins with the chilling line: "Hello Savannah, we have your mother Nancy. She is safe, but she is scared!'
The precise details of this communication were shared publicly for the first time by crime journalist Briana Whitney during a special episode of the Crime Junkie podcast. The message was sent to media outlets on February 2, just one day after Nancy went missing from her Tucson, Arizona home.
It demanded $4 million in Bitcoin by February 5, noting how the price would jump to $6 million if a final February 9 deadline was missed.
The author gave strict warnings about law enforcement not being able to assist them and explicitly mentioned to Savannah how her mother is aware of this and her life is in her hands.
