Can Nancy Guthrie ransom note writing quirks help identify the suspect? Expert weighs in
A former Colorado investigator suggests that grammatical patterns in ransom notes related to Nancy Guthrie's case could help identify a suspect.
A Colorado investigator asserts that specific grammatical quirks in the ransom notes linked to the Nancy Guthrie case could aid in suspect identification. Lisa Miller, speaking with Fox News Digital, highlighted two released letters. The first demanded Bitcoin in exchange for Nancy's release, while the second declared her death and burial in nature.
Nancy, 84 and mother of Today's Savannah Guthrie, went missing on February 1 from her Tucson, Arizona home. Authorities have released doorbell camera footage and DNA samples to FBI laboratories, but no suspects have been named. Miller pointed out repeated comma splices in the notes, suggesting continuity likely points to a single author.
The notes also frequently employ open compounds, such as "heart related" instead of "heart-related," and "smartwatch" as two separate words. Miller doubts AI was used due to typos, and notes formatting, like "$100,000" versus "$100,000" and "USD" alongside the dollar sign, were also noted.
