  "account": "Human remains discovered near the residence of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie's mother are not connected to the ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department. The authorities made the announcement on Monday, declining to provide further details about the discovery, such as the identity of the finder, the location, or the reason for the clarification. Six months after Nancy Guthrie's vanishing, ransom notes purportedly written by her captors were released earlier this month. The Pima County Sheriff's Department had previously posted copies of the two email messages alleging the kidnapping on their website, urging the public to assist in identifying the masked individual spotted on video by Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera near her Tucson home on the day she went missing. Nancy Guthrie, who has frail health and limited mobility, was last seen alive on January 31 at her Tucson home and was reported missing on February 1 after a friend informed her family that she had not attended Sunday church services as usual.",
  "summary": "CNN reported that the sheriff's department had declined to comment about who found the remains, when they were located, and why the announcement had indicated that they were unrelated.",
