Sheriff leading the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has explained why authorities decided to release two ransom notes
Sheriff Chris Nanos of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) has explained why authorities decided to release ransom notes received following the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy Guthrie - insisting he hopes members of the public will be able to help track down who wrote them.
The Sheriff leading the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has explained why authorities decided to release two ransom notes.
Two letters sent in relation to the vanishing of Savannah Guthrie's elderly mother in Arizona in February have been made public for the first time and Chris Nanos of the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) has explained he hopes the release of the documents will provide a much-needed lead in the case as they could "jog" someone's memory.
In a video posted on X, Nanos explained: "We just saw what was being said, and we felt like we needed to put something out that’s really accurate, and this was the time.
"Investigators felt like there’s a number of pieces of information in these notes that it just might jog someone to say: 'I’ve heard that', or [recognize] the wording, the style of the writing. It might jog somebody to think about who would’ve written this, how was this done?"
He added: "My investigators, we look at it, and clearly there’s things in there that are very concerning to our investigative team. So we hope that by releasing the actual note we’ll get some response from the community."
