Days after the Pima County Sheriff’s Department released two ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie case to the public, in hopes of breaking the case wide open, a forensic psychologist has offered his insights about the senders, suspecting that the notes were written by two different people.The ransom notes date back to February 2026, after Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in Catalina Foothills, a suburb of Arizona. While the first ransom note demanded money in cryptocurrency, the second revealed that Guthrie died shortly after she was taken.With the investigation still active in the Nancy Guthrie case, expert Gary Brucato has revealed new details about the senders, believing that the notes were written by two different individuals, who were likely experiencing a 'rupture' in their dynamics:“These two ransom notes… do suggest to me two different people who are perhaps experiencing some kind of rupture in terms of their attitude about what happened.''More on this in our story.Nancy Guthrie case update: What have the ransom notes revealed?A recent conversation between NewsNation journalist Brian Entin and Gary Brucato has revealed new details about the Nancy Guthrie case. While the police released the ransom notes in hopes of getting some tips about the matriarch, forensic psychologists have conducted their own studies, believing that the notes were written by two different people, with contrasting emotions, psychologies and motives.The first ransom note, written to Savannah Guthrie on February 2, revealed that the Guthrie matriarch was abducted for ransom. The note demanded $4 million in cryptocurrency and assured the family that Guthrie would be released 12 hours after the deposit. However, a second ransom note revealed that the kidnappers failed to grasp the seriousness of Guthrie's physical condition, who died shortly after she was taken and is now 'buried in nature'. The note even apologized for the matriarch's death, claiming that it was unintentional and that the abductors never intended to hurt her.Gary Brucato suspects that the ransom notes were written by two different people: an 'intelligent' person who wrote the first letter with a clear intention (to seek ransom) and an emotional person, who likely regrets sending the first letter. Brucato further claims the second sender could be a woman who likely knew Guthrie's famous daughter, Savannah. Lastly, Brucato sees the second ransom note 'with the modicum of sympathy and the distancing,' feeling that the sender took a huge risk in sending the letter.This is what Gary Brucato believes about the ransom notes sent in the Nancy Guthrie case:“The first one is demanding money and the second one is undoing the ability of the first person to get money, which suggests to me that the first person would’ve been kinda mad that the second person wrote the note.”Brucato further suspects a 'rupture' or disagreement between the two senders about the events. However, the police have found no leads in the case.Is the 'masked man' related to the ransom notes?Additionally, Gary Brucato believes that neither of the ransom notes was written by the masked figure who was loitering outside Nancy Guthrie's property before her disappearance and tampered with her doorbell camera. Brucato believes that the armed individual, whom he called the 'porch guy' was a “cool-headed character under pressure,'' who was brought in to do the dirty work.This is what Brucato believes:“I think [it] is clear [he] was some sort of goon that was put there to give the impression of a totally outside agent who never met this woman who came in to do the dirty work...behind the scenes I think there are at least two people with different psychologies and motives.”While Brucato suspects that the 'porch guy' got involved in Nancy Guthrie's case for money, he is yet to figure out the motive of the second sender. The writer of the second ransom note was likely driven by money and emotion, and regretted their decision when the plan went haywire.For the latest scoops on your favorite TV shows and movies, follow SoapCentral.
