亚利桑那州皮马县警长向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻证实，“今日”（Today）节目联合主持人萨凡纳·格思里的母亲南希·格思里（Nancy Guthrie）失踪后，当地一家新闻电视台收到了一封勒索信。
皮马县警长克里斯·纳诺斯（Chris Nanos）表示，该电视台于周一收到了这封信（并同意暂不报道），信中包含了关于南希·格思里家中的具体细节，以及她当晚的穿着，但他无法证实这些信息的准确性或信件的合法性。
“这就像任何一份证据，”纳诺斯告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，“你交给我们，你给我们一个线索，我们会调查这条线索的各个方面。”
纳诺斯没有具体说明信件是寄往哪家电视台，但哥伦比亚广播公司附属KOLD-TV电视台周二表示，他们收到了一封“似乎是所谓勒索信之一”的电子邮件，并已将其转发给警长办公室。
纳诺斯称，调查人员已对信件进行分析，并正在认真对待此事。
他表示，联邦调查局（FBI）已审查该信件，并决定将其交给萨凡纳·格思里。当局原本希望此事不对外公开，但纳诺斯称，该信件被《好莱坞生活》（TMZ）获取，该媒体在联系警长办公室前就已报道此事。
皮马县警长部门此前在社交媒体上表示，他们已注意到“关于可能存在勒索信的相关报道”，并补充称“所有收到的材料都会直接交给负责与联邦调查局协调的侦探”。
纳诺斯向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，目前家庭安全系统的监控录像一无所获。他称，调查人员认为该系统可能被设置为在短时间后自动删除录像，他们现在正试图通过法医手段恢复数据。
纳诺斯此前曾向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻表示，调查人员认为这位84岁的老人是在周末深夜被从家中绑架的，他将现场描述为“犯罪现场”。当局自周日起就开始搜寻她的下落。
纳诺斯称，南希·格思里周六晚上最后一次被看到在家中，但直到第二天早上她没有参加教堂活动，家人才意识到她失踪了。
警长多次强调，独居的格思里不可能自行离开家，因为她没有认知障碍且行动能力非常有限。
他还表达了对老人需要每日服用药物的担忧，称“时间真的在流逝”。
“你让她处于极大的危险中，没有给她服用关键药物，”纳诺斯告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，“再说一遍，就像我说的，如果她得不到这些药物，可能会致命。”
警长表示，目前尚不清楚可能有多少人参与了这起明显的绑架案。
“可能是一个人，也可能更多，我不知道，”他说。
一位熟悉此案的执法部门消息人士向哥伦比亚广播公司新闻透露，在南希·格思里位于图森市的家中发现了少量血迹，周二前门门外的门垫旁也发现了疑似少量干涸血迹。

A ransom note was sent to a local Arizona news station following the disappearance of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, the Pima County sheriff told CBS News.
The note, which the station received Monday and agreed not to report on, contained specific details about the home and what Nancy Guthrie was wearing that night, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said, although he would not confirm the accuracy of that information or the legitimacy of the note.
“It’s like any piece of evidence,” Nanos told CBS News. “You give it to us, you give us a lead, we’re going to look at every aspect of that lead.”
Nanos did not specify which station the note was sent to, but CBS affiliate KOLD-TV reported Tuesday it had received an email that “appears to be one of the alleged ransom notes,” which it forwarded to the sheriff’s office.
Investigators have analyzed the note and are taking it seriously, Nanos said.

He said the FBI reviewed the note and made the decision to share it with Savannah Guthrie. Authorities had hoped to keep the information from becoming public, but the note was obtained by TMZ, which reported on it before contacting the sheriff’s office, Nanos said.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department had earlier said on social media it was aware of “reports circulating about possible ransom note(s),” adding, “Anything that comes in, goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI.”
Surveillance video from a home security system has yielded nothing so far, Nanos told CBS News. He said investigators believe the system may have been set to automatically delete footage after a short period of time, and they are now attempting to recover it through forensic means.
Nanos previously told CBS News that investigators believe the 84-year-old was abducted from her home in the middle of the night over the weekend, and he described it as “a crime scene.” Authorities have been searching for her since Sunday.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home Saturday night, but no one knew she was missing until she didn’t show up for church the next morning, Nanos said.
The sheriff has repeatedly said Guthrie, who lives alone, could not have wandered away from her home because she has no cognitive issues and very limited mobility.
He also expressed concern that she needs access to medication that she must take daily, telling CBS News, “The clock is literally ticking.”
“You’ve placed her in great jeopardy without giving her meds that are critical to her,” Nanos said. “Again, like I’ve said, could be fatal if she doesn’t get those meds.”
The sheriff has said it’s unclear how many people may have been involved in the apparent abduction.
“It could be one, it could’ve been more, I don’t know,” he said.
A little bit of blood was found inside Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home, a law enforcement source familiar with the case told CBS News, and what appeared to be a small amount of dried blood was seen next to a doormat outside the front door of the home on Tuesday.
