Summary
Do any of the ransom notes or emails indicate Nancy Guthrie is dead? The first ransom note went to Tucson TV stations and TMZ shortly after Nancy disappeared. It demanded $4 million of dollars in Bitcoin to be paid by two deadlines. The entire contents of this note has not been made public, but we do know it included details about a broken floodlight at Nancy's home, information about her Apple Watch, and what she had been wearing.
The second ransom note arrived February 6, sent to KOLD. In it were claims that Nancy had died shortly after the abduction and that her death was unintended and she is now buried "in nature."
