Profiler John Kelly Doubts Nancy Guthrie Ransom Notes, Citing 2 Distinct Voices

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 25

John Kelly said the ransom demands tied to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance do not appear authentic, arguing the first and second notes read like they came from two different personalities.
The veteran profiler said the first note focused coldly on millions in Bitcoin, while the second used emotional language about Guthrie’s death being unintentional and that she was “buried with nature.”
Kelly said that tone clashes with the Feb. 1 abduction itself — an armed home invasion of the 84-year-old that left blood at her doorstep — which he said suggested a remorseless, psychopathic offender.
Authorities have not confirmed whether the notes are genuine, though investigators initially treated them seriously and have said multiple plotters remain possible even though only one masked suspect appears on doorbell video.
The case remains unsolved, with the FBI seeking tips and a combined reward of more than $1.2 million offered for information.
