Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, vanished earlier this year in Arizona. Now, new reporting reveals more about a second message sent to the media — a note that reportedly did not include a new demand for money, but instead raised major questions about the sender’s motive, mindset, and what investigators may be able to learn from the timing and language of the message.
Tonight, Josh and James discuss the biggest questions surrounding this development: why would someone send a second note at all, what could the wording reveal about the sender, how investigators evaluate whether a note is credible, and what this could mean for the direction of the investigation.
