The Federal Bureau of Investigation made a bombshell announcement about ransom notes received in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case.

The FBI said ransom notes sent to a news station and gossip website TMZ are fake.

The 84-year-old mother of longtime “Today” show host, Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since January 31 and is presumed dead.

Tucson TV station KOLD received two ransom notes soon after Guthrie was kidnapped from her home near Tucson, Arizona. One note demanded millions in Bitcoin in exchange for Guthrie’s return. Another note claimed she had died.

A ransom note recently sent to TMZ claimed Nancy Guthrie was dead and that the sender knew the identity of the kidnapper.

“None of the ransom notes are believed to be genuine,” an FBI official told Reuters.

On Wednesday, the FBI field office in Phoenix issued a statement that read: “Some [notes] have been deemed to be extortion attempts without legitimacy. Other ransom demands may potentially be legitimate and are still being investigated as such. This case continues to be investigated as a kidnapping for ransom case.”

A California man was arrested and charged with sending a a fake ransom note to the Guthrie family.

Savannah Guthrie offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the recovery of Nancy alive or her body.

Savannah also donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children to help families with loved ones who are missing.
