Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson on February 1st of this year.

The mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie remains missing after all this time, presumed dead at this point.

The Pima County Sheriff’s office has been blamed for countless mistakes in the investigation.

Now they’ve posted to Instagram that there may be a new ransom note. They’re looking into it.

Is it a break? Or another wild goose chase?

It’s inconceivable that Savannah and her family have been put through this horror. Also, that Nancy Guthrie, an 84 year old grandmother, could have been so victimized.
