Hunter Biden Complains Family Is Broke During Deposition

“None of the ransom notes are believed to be genuine,” the FBI official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss details of the active investigation.

Officials from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, who are leading the investigation with FBI assistance, have not publicly detailed the contents of all notes.

However, sources familiar with the case previously revealed that the first note demanded millions in bitcoin for Guthrie’s safe return.

A second note reportedly claimed she had died, with the apparent abductors apologizing and stating they did not mean for her to die.

A third note, sent to TMZ in late June, claimed to have video evidence of the abduction.

The FBI Phoenix Field Office later issued a statement clarifying that while some notes appear to be extortion attempts, others “may potentially be legitimate and are still being investigated as such.”

The agency emphasized, “This case continues to be investigated as a kidnapping for ransom case.”

Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31, 2026, after her daughter Savannah dropped her off at home following a family dinner.

Surveillance footage captured an armed, masked figure tampering with her security camera before her disappearance.

Authorities discovered signs of a struggle inside the home, including hallway blood and a broken lamp.

Savannah Guthrie publicly pleaded for information after stepping away from her NBC duties to assist in the search.

Law enforcement kept many details private to avoid compromising the investigation, but leaks to media outlets fueled public speculation and theories ranging from a genuine kidnapping to a hoax.

A $50,000 reward was offered for information leading to Nancy’s safe return or the arrest of those responsible.

Mixed DNA evidence has been analyzed, but no arrests have been made.

“We are following every lead,” he said in recent updates.

The family continues to cooperate fully while dealing with what Savannah has called “unending trauma.”
