00:00A purported ransom note and the disappearance of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy,
00:04contained chilling details from the night she was allegedly abducted, authorities said.
00:09The note, sent to a local Arizona news station, contained details about the 84-year-old matriarch's
00:14home near Tucson and what she was wearing on the night of her disappearance, Pima County Sheriff
00:18Chris Nanos told CBS News, although he declined to give any specifics. Nanos refused to say
00:24whether the note was legitimate or if the details it provided matched the crime scene where drops
00:28of blood as well as signs of forced entry were found. It was not clear whose blood it was.
00:34It isn't clear if the purported note sent to the CBS affiliate in Arizona, which chose not to report
00:39the exact contents of it, is the same that was sent to TMZ on February 3rd. The note to TMZ provided a
00:45deadline for the ransom payment in Bitcoin for her safe return and implied something sinister would
00:51befall Nancy if the towering sum wasn't paid. According to authorities, a relative made a 911
00:57call around noon on February 1st to report Nancy Guthrie was missing after she failed to show up
01:03for a church service. She was last seen by Savannah's brother-in-law, Tommaso, after he dropped Nancy
01:08off at her home in Catalina Foothills, north of Tucson, at around 9.30 p.m. on January 31st,
01:14after a dinner, authorities said.
