"Some have been deemed to be extortion attempts without legitimacy. Other ransom demands may potentially be legitimate and are still being investigated. As such, this case continues to be investigated as a kidnapping for ransom case."
The FBI Phoenix office issued a statement clarifying that while some ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case have been determined to be illegitimate extortion attempts, other demands are still under investigation. This follows conflicting reports from Reuters and TMZ about whether all communications were fake. Crime scene investigator Cheryl McCollum criticized the investigation, stating the notes contain no proof of life or information only a true abductor would know.
