Nancy Guthrie investigators probing authenticity of ‘new message’ sent to local Arizona TV station

Federal and local authorities are investigating a “new message” connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie after it was sent to the Tucson-area news outlet that previously received one of the purported ransom letters.

The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a joint statement that they are “actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity.”

Arizona-based CNN affiliate KOLD 13 News reported that it forwarded the message it received Friday afternoon to law enforcement shortly before the statement was issued.

It’s unclear what details were included in the message.
