SerbiaThe FBI has determined that three ransom notes linked to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, are not genuine. According to an unnamed FBI official speaking to Reuters, none of the three letters—two sent in early February and a third more recent one—are authentic. The first two letters, sent to TMZ, demanded cryptocurrency payments of 'millions' with specific deadlines, while the second claimed Guthrie had died but did not request money for her return. The FBI tested the authenticity of the first letter by making a small cryptocurrency payment to the provided account, but the funds were never withdrawn. Based on this and other unspecified methods, the FBI concluded the letters were likely sent by someone unrelated to Guthrie’s disappearance. A third letter, sent to TMZ last week and claiming knowledge of the abductors’ identity, was also deemed inauthentic. Authorities believe Guthrie was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona, and she has been missing since February 1.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 75): Factual accuracy aligns closely with the primary source document, reporting the FBI's determination that the ransom notes were fake.
