An Arizona news station was left ‘alarmed’ by a second message from Nancy Guthrie’s alleged captors.
Mary Coleman, a reporter for KOLD, told CNN that the message was sent straight to law enforcement.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said that the IP address from the email did not match the first one sent to the station earlier this week.
However, Coleman said ‘it appears the sender used the same type of secure server’ to hide their information.
The station reported: ‘The new note contains information the senders seem to think will prove to investigators they’re the same people who sent the first note.’
It comes after Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos admitted that they were unable to recover any evidence in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance from the 84-year-old’s doorbell camera.
Investigators have found that the home’s doorbell camera was disconnected early Sunday – the day the daughter of ‘Today’ show star Savannah Guthrie – and that software data recorded movement at the home minutes later.
But Nancy Guthrie did not have an active subscription, so none of the footage was able to be recovered.
‘It is concerning, it’s actually almost disappointing because you’ve got your hopes up,’ Nanos said.
‘OK, they got an image. ‘Well, we do, but we don’t.’
The frantic search for Guthrie has entered a sixth day. Authorities have not identified any suspects or ruled anyone out, Nanos said at a news conference Thursday.
Authorities think she was taken against her will from her home just outside Tucson over the weekend. DNA tests showed blood on Guthrie’s front porch was a match to her, Nanos has said.
The sheriff said Thursday that investigators have not given up on trying to retrieve footage from the home.
The Daily Mail revealed how Savannah Guthrie‘s mother was abducted from her $1 million home late on January 31 into the early hours of February 1, according to police.
On Thursday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that no suspect had been identified in the investigation, but that no one had been ruled out.
TMZ’s Harvey Levin claimed that a ransom note sent to the newsroom by an anonymous source disclosed a ‘radius’ around Tucson, Arizona, that Nancy may be held captive.
