Alleged Note Claims Nancy Guthrie Died After Abduction

Ekhbary News Agency | May 15, 2024

American media outlets received a note in February alleging the death of Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, shortly after her disappearance. Multiple law enforcement sources, privy to the investigation, conveyed these claims to CNN, prompting authorities to request a temporary publication blackout.

Law Enforcement's Request for Secrecy

Both CNN and a local television station in Tucson, Arizona, complied with an urgent request from law enforcement and the Guthrie family. The decision, for what it's worth, aimed to safeguard the integrity of the ongoing investigation and ensure the authenticity of any potential future communications from the alleged abductor or abductors, highlighting the delicate balance between public interest and investigative necessity.
