Savannah Guthrie believes two ransom notes in mom Nancy’s disappearance are real

Savannah Guthrie said that she believes two of the ransom notes linked to her mom Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance are real.

“There are a lot of different notes that came and I think most of them is my understanding are not real,” Savannah said during the first part of her emotional “Today” show sitdown with Hoda Kotb that aired Thursday.

“I didn’t see them, but you know, a person that would send a fake ransom note really has to look deeply at themselves.”

Savannah added, “But I believe the two notes that we received that we responded to — I tend to believe those are real.

Nancy, notably, was last seen in Tucson on Jan. 31.

She is believed to have been abducted from her residence during the early morning hours of Feb. 1, with the FBI teaming up with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department to find her.

Savannah, 54, has been off air while navigating the family crisis, with her NBC colleagues diligently covering the case.

After weeks of searching, a major break in the case came when investigators uncovered security camera footage showing the abductor approaching Nancy’s home and tampering with the camera.

Officials have yet to arrest or charge anyone in the kidnapping.

Multiple ransom notes demanding millions in Bitcoin were sent to media outlets and the Guthrie family after Nancy went missing.

One ransom note sent to TMZ on Feb. 3 included a letter that reportedly contained a threatening message that read, “Or else.”

The note also allegedly mentioned an item of clothing that Nancy was wearing as well as something that had been damaged in her house after she went missing.

In a Feb. 7 social media video, Savannah and her siblings, Cameron and Annie, offered to pay their mom’s alleged kidnapper.

“We received your message and we understand,” Savannah said through tears, begging Nancy’s purported captor to bring her home.

“This is the only way we will have peace,” she added. “This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

Authorities were never able to verify the validity of the ransom notes.

The Guthrie siblings are offering $1 million for information leading to Nancy’s safe return.

The siblings, who have all been cleared as suspects, have repeatedly pleaded with their mother’s captor in multiple videos to no avail.

In the most recent, Savannah acknowledged that her mom could “already be gone.”

She added, “If this is what is to be, then we will accept it, but we need to know where she is. We need her to come home.”

Earlier this month, Savannah’s Studio 1A return made headlines as she was photographed reuniting with her team.

A spokesperson at the network told Page Six at the time that Savannah “plans” to come back on air.

A clip of her interview with Kotb, 61, aired Wednesday, during which the ex-attorney described the “unbearable” pain and “agony” she is experiencing.

“I think of what she went through, I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror,” Savannah said. “Those thoughts demand to be thought.”
