The Federal Bureau of Investigation is continuing to investigate a portion of the ransom notes that emerged following the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, with some still being treated as legitimate.
However, the FBI has officially discounted several of the notes, categorizing them as extortion attempts rather than genuine communications related to Guthrie's case.
Further details regarding the specific number of notes under investigation or the criteria used to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent messages were not immediately available. The FBI has not publicly released information on the progress of these investigations or identified any suspects.
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing in March 2026. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance have been a subject of public interest, with numerous well-wishers sending messages of support. The investigation into her case remains ongoing.
