The heartbreaking disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother has taken another disturbing turn.

A new report claims one of the ransom notes sent after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona, home included a strange apology for her alleged death — and raised the possibility of returning her body for money.

According to Air Mail, sources close to the investigation said the message arrived on Feb. 6 and sounded very different from an earlier ransom demand. The note reportedly had a “new, less confident tone” and was described as “sputtering and labored.”

It allegedly came from the same IP address as an earlier message demanding millions for Nancy’s safe return.

Nancy, the mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on Feb. 1 after vanishing from her home in Arizona. Her disappearance quickly became a nightmare for the family as investigators searched for answers and loved ones pleaded publicly for her return.

The first message reportedly arrived just hours after Nancy was reported missing. It claimed the beloved grandmother was “safe but scared” and demanded $4 million in Bitcoin.

The ransom note warned that the money had to be sent by Feb. 5 “or else,” according to the report. The demand later allegedly jumped to $6 million if payment was not received by Feb. 9.

But instead of paying the massive ransom, authorities reportedly sent just $152 to the Bitcoin address. Investigators were hoping the person behind the demand would try to cash it out and expose their identity.

The money was never touched.

Air Mail described that move as a major misstep in the early days of the case, calling it a failed attempt to “tickle the wire.”

Then came the reported Feb. 6 message.

According to the outlet, that note allegedly apologized for Nancy’s accidental death and floated the idea of returning her body in exchange for money. The exact amount was not specified.

However, the situation became even murkier after TMZ reported Monday that a ransom note it received on Feb. 3 did not include an apology or any admission that Nancy was dead. It remains unclear whether the outlets were referring to the same message.

Savannah appeared to reference the ransom notes during an emotional March interview with Hoda Kotb, when she spoke publicly for the first time about the family’s tragedy.

“I believe the two notes that we received that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real,” Savannah said.

Savannah and her siblings, Camron Guthrie and Annie Guthrie, also made direct public appeals to the alleged kidnapper in several Instagram videos.

After the reported Feb. 6 message, Savannah said the family had received the message and begged for their mother to be returned.

“We received your message and understand,” she said at the time. “We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her.”

Savannah also called the message “valuable” and said she was willing to pay the ransom.

Later that month, the devastated TV anchor made another emotional offer. This time, she said the family would pay $1 million for Nancy’s return.

“We know that she may be lost,” Savannah said in the heartbreaking video. “She may already be gone. And 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.”

The case has haunted the Guthrie family for months.

Security camera footage from the night Nancy vanished showed a masked suspect outside her Tucson home holding what appeared to be a plant. Despite the video and months of investigation, the suspected kidnapper remains at large.

Savannah returned to Today in April, even as the search for her mother continued and the mystery deepened.

Now, nearly five months after Nancy disappeared, her family is still waiting for the one thing they have begged for from the beginning: answers.
