Instagram TMZ’s Harvey Levin is clearing up some reporting about the Nancy Guthrie ransom note. Some backstory about the Nancy Guthrie ransom notes If you don’t know, there were reports of multiple ransom notes sent during the early days of the disappearance of Nancy , who is mother to the Today show’s Savannah Guthrie . Savannah and her siblings were seemingly speaking directly with the captors in videos uploaded to her Instagram account . It is said that the ransom was for $6 million , and the deadline came and went without being paid. TMZ says the FBI confirmed the ransom note they received was real Some new details were reported this week about the ransom notes. An unverified report suggested that an apology was made in the ransom note – suggesting that Nancy had passed away. The site reports: “The Nancy Guthrie ransom note TMZ received was the real deal, according to the FBI, but contrary to new reports, it did not contain an apology or a revelation she was dead.” Harvey uploaded a video to TMZ and did confirm that the ransom note did say Nancy was scared. TMZ also received a different ransom note from a person who claimed to know where Nancy was TMZ revealed that this person in question said that “time was no longer of the essence” in the case, implying she had passed. There’s no confirmation that this person had any knowledge. The site then shared, “We have been in touch with the FBI since the beginning — when we received the ransom note. Around a month ago, we called the FBI and said we believed the person who was asking for the bitcoin in return for information was authentic. Why would he say ‘”‘time is no longer of the essence’ if it was a scam — a scammer would want to maintain urgency.” TMZ says the FBI ghosted them after making this request TMZ says the FBI never paid the second ransom, but did put $270 in the initial ransom request. TMZ shared, “We told the FBI we wanted to do a documentary and asked how the agency would feel if we paid the bitcoin to see where it lead. We did not want to interfere with the investigation or the Guthrie family so we asked the FBI if that would be helpful. They said it was ‘interesting’ and would get back to us…we have tried contacting the FBI a half dozen times since, and they have ghosted us.” By the way, if you didn’t see, Savannah recently gave a major interview where she revealed new info about the scene of the crime that had not been previously disclosed.
