"CBS is actually releasing what the ransom note actually said, word for word. And what's chilling is that it said Savannah. It was addressed to Savannah. In fact, it actually opened with the words, hello Savannah. We have your mother, Nancy."
CBS News has disclosed previously withheld details from the ransom note sent after Nancy Guthrie's abduction, revealing the note directly addressed Savannah Guthrie by name and contained specific details about the location of Nancy's Apple Watch in her bedroom. These details had been kept confidential by investigators and multiple media outlets who received copies of the notes.
