reported<\/a> that a second ransom note sent after her mother\u2019s disappearance said Nancy Guthrie had died shortly after she was abducted from her home in the Tucson area and had been buried in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u201cI don\u2019t have any comment on this story, and I\u2019m not involved in our coverage,\u201d Guthrie said after the report aired. \u201cBut I can\u2019t pretend I\u2019m not here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She said the case was now being brought to a wider audience but had been part of her family\u2019s life every day since her mother disappeared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is the life that my sister lives, I live, my brother lives, our extended families live, our children live every day,\u201d Guthrie said. \u201cWe are in agony. We cannot be at peace, no matter how much I try to come out here every day and smile and find that joy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Guthrie urged anyone with information to come forward, saying even small details could help investigators and that tips could be made anonymously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSomebody knows something,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is the moment to tell you that we need your help. We\u2019re begging for your help. I\u2019m not going to miss that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Brian Entin of NewsNation reported that the second note indicated Guthrie\u2019s death was not intentional but did not include a direct apology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Investigators considered the notes potentially credible and the FBI tried to trace where they came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The message reportedly surfaced on February 7, when Savannah Guthrie released a video appeal after investigators began reviewing the notes sent to KOLD, a Tucson television station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe received your message and we understand,\u201d Guthrie said in the video at the time. \u201cWe beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Authorities have said Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will from her home. The FBI has offered a reward for information in the case, while the family has separately offered $1 million for information leading to her recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPlease do the right thing for us, for our family, for our children,\u201d Savannah Guthrie said Tuesday. \u201cWe love our mom. We\u2019ll never stop looking for her, never.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
