The note threatened Nancy’s life if the ransom is not paid.
They have asked for the money in Bitcoin in exchange for the save return of Savannah Guthrie‘s 84-year-old mother. A second note was reportedly sent to another outlet on Friday, with sensitive information but no deadline.
It comes as police have been in and out of Annie Guthrie’s Arizona home holding brown bags.
The home – around four miles from Nancy’s – was searched from around 8pm to 10.30pm local time.

‘We beg you now to return our mother’
In a video shared to Instagram, Nancy’s three children – Savannah, Annie and Camron – held hands as The Today Show host sent a message to kidnappers.
She said in the short video: “We received your message, and we understand.
“We 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.”
It is not known which note they were responding to, as several have been sent to the family and news stations.
Dr. Bryanna Fox, University of South Florida criminology professor and former FBI agent, told The Daily Mail that each ransom note must be treated as legitimate “because the risk associated with not doing so is too great”.
“The fact they are now negotiating and willing to engage means they believe there is some validity behind [the notes],” she told The Mail.
