A leaked ransom note says Savannah Guthrie's kidnapped mom died
We finally have some horrific clarity on what happened to Nancy Guthrie, but the back-of-the-napkin details of this investigation are deeply, deeply messed up.
So, Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was snatched back in February. We all knew that. But what we didn't know is that just four days after the first multi-million dollar ransom note, the kidnappers sent a second note. The message? She's dead, and they didn't mean to do it. No ransom demand this time, just a digital shrug.
The family actually acknowledged this on Instagram a day later with a cryptic "we understand" video. The media kept the whole thing under wraps to help the FBI. But because this is America, the secret didn't last, thanks to TMZ.
Apparently, some random guy emailed TMZ claiming he knew where the kidnappers were and wanted a $100,000 finder's fee. Harvey Levin actually offered to pay the guy, but the FBI said absolutely not. No body has been found, and the case is still wide open.
When the FBI is busy gatekeeping TMZ from running a parallel, paid kidnapping investigation, the system is officially in uncharted waters.
