Ransom notes in Nancy Guthrie case released; second note claims kidnapper victim died

In late January, Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman in Tucson, Arizona, was taken from her home — and the handwritten notes that followed, sent to a local television station, told a story that no ransom could have resolved. The kidnapper first demanded millions in bitcoin, then claimed she had died of heart-related causes shortly after the abduction and was buried in an unnamed place in nature. Months later, investigators have released those notes publicly, hoping that someone, somewhere, will recognize the particular way a person writes when they are trying to explain the inexplicable.
