TUCSON, Ariz. — A second ransom note received by a Tucson, Arizona, television station following the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie said she died shortly after her abduction, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.<\/p>\n
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her Tucson, Arizona, home in the early hours of Feb. 1.<\/p>\n

In the days after Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, various ransom notes were sent to the media.<\/p>\n
The Guthrie family received two notes that were sent to Tucson media outlets that investigators deemed potentially credible and the FBI had tried to trace their origin.<\/p>\n
The first note demanded cryptocurrency for Nancy Guthrie’s return. The second note, according to sources, said she had died shortly after she was taken and was buried in nature.<\/p>\n
The notes were received within days of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, but ABC News has not previously disclosed the contents of the second note.<\/p>\n
Shortly after receiving the second note, Savannah Guthrie posted a statement in a Feb. 7 Instagram post.<\/p>\n

“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah Guthrie said at the time. “We beg you now to return our mother to us. … . This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”<\/p>\n
Images from Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell camera showing a masked man at her house were released early on in the investigation, but the 84-year-old’s whereabouts remain unknown and the suspect remains unidentified.<\/p>\n
In March, Savannah Guthrie spoke out in her first interview, telling her friend and former co-host Hoda Kotb, “Honestly, we don’t know anything.”<\/p>\n
Savannah Guthrie said her family “cannot be at peace” without answers and she pleaded for anyone with information to come forward.<\/p>\n
“Someone can do the right thing, and it is never too late to do the right thing,” she said.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information is urged to call 911, the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.<\/p>\n
