The Issue: A ransom note sent to Savannah Guthrie’s family after the sudden disappearance of her mother.
Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance is already difficult enough without people further muddying the situation with phony ransom notes diverting law-enforcement resources needed to solve the crime (“Ransom note Guthrie shock,” Feb. 6).
With the promise of anonymity, the internet has successfully lowered the standards of some people and let them think that it’s OK to profit from another’s tragedy.
I hope that all Americans unite in this difficult time and can help get Nancy Guthrie safely home. Our prayers are with the Guthrie family.

The alleged ransom note for Nancy Guthrie, obtained via email by TMZ and other media outlets, should be released. TMZ’s Harvey Levin has gone public with much of the information in the note, and there is no law-enforcement reason to keep it under wraps.
On the contrary, the wording and style of the note might give a clue to someone who may be familiar with the author’s writing style.
More important, we are not told, nor has any reporter even asked the Pima County sheriff or the FBI, what the status is of tracing the email to its source. Sadly, time appears to be running out.

The police should look very carefully at all those who were aiding and assisting Nancy Guthrie in her home. One or more of those people may have thought there was access to a large sum of money available.

I’m sorry to hear Nancy Guthrie is missing, and I hope she’s found unharmed. But is she the only octogenarian missing or harmed in the United States in the last week?
