Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February 2026 after authorities said she was abducted from her Tucson-area home. New June reporting says a second ransom note claimed Nancy died shortly after the abduction, and investigators are now reviewing what the note may reveal about the timeline, the suspect, and the search for answers.

DutyRon and retired NYPD Detective/CSI expert Ed Wallace break down the case from a law enforcement and forensic perspective: what investigators look for in ransom communications, why certain details are withheld from the public, how false ransom notes can complicate a case, and what this new reporting may mean for Nancy’s family.
