NBC’s “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie made a tearful, emotional plea Tuesday after revelations that a second ransom note sent following her mother’s abduction revealed she died sometime after the abduction.
The note described Nancy Guthrie, according to two sources, as being with nature after her death and made no demand for money. The “with nature” comment seems to suggest the abductors had buried the grandmother. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, working with the FBI, is investigating the kidnapping.
