Nancy Guthrie's Two Notes Don't Add Up to One Kidnapper

Nancy Guthrie has now been missing for five months, taken from her Tucson home at 84 years old, and the case has produced more written communications than actual leads. Start with the notes. One reportedly came from the man who took her, describing her as at rest somewhere in nature. A second, sent to a Tucson television station days later, was described by law enforcement as a legitimate communication from the actual kidnappers, and reportedly claimed she had died shortly after being taken. If real, it may be the closest thing to a written confession this case has produced. Then there's TMZ. One tipster emailed the outlet claiming urgency had passed. A separate, repeat emailer has claimed to have a phone containing video of Nancy and her alleged kidnapper from what was probably her last day. The FBI has already arrested multiple people for sending fake ransom notes tied to this case, and Sheriff Nanos has dismissed the newest claim as likely another one. But the FBI is reportedly investigating that same emailer at the same time, a contradiction no one in law enforcement has explained. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and criminal defense attorney Bob Motta break down what each communication actually proves, how investigators try to authenticate a note when there's no body, and why efforts to independently confirm Nancy's death have reportedly failed. A first note demanded millions. A second offered her body back for close to the same amount. Whether that points to one plan falling apart or two people working the same case is still an open question. All claims here are reported and unconfirmed, and no one has been charged. This is everything filed and reported so far, laid out in order.
