Investigators say the alleged ransom note received by a media outlet contains a specific reference to missing floodlights at Nancy Guthrie’s home, one of which is broken.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona, home at around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.

Officials didn’t initially comment on the circumstances of her disappearance, but Sheriff Chris Nanos said Monday that “we do, in fact, have a crime.” A spokesperson for the sheriff’s office told Fox News Digital it’s believed Nancy Guthrie was either kidnapped or abducted. 

The FBI said a possible ransom note in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance sent to a news outlet mentioned a “floodlight.” Fox News Digital found two possible floodlights outside her house, and the Fox Flight team also found another two floodlights in Nancy Guthrie’s backyard, one of which is broken.

Two broken floodlights could be seen dangling from a wire in the back of the house. During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Heith Janke, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Phoenix field office, said the possible ransom note contained the mention of a floodlight at Nancy Guthrie’s house. 

“Yeah, the ransom itself. One talked about an Apple Watch and one talked about a floodlight,” he said. “And we’re not going to go into specifics. It’s very important that we keep this investigation moving forward.”

In an interview Thursday with Fox News’ Sean Hannity on “Hannity,” TMZ’s Harvey Levin spoke about the possible ransom note his outlet received.

“The letter begins by saying she is safe, but scared, and they go on to say she knows exactly what the demand is,” he said. “And so they are, you know, through us, telling the family — and obviously the sheriff’s department gave the family the letter we received — exactly what they’re demanding, and they’re saying that Nancy is aware of it.”

He believes the person who wrote the note is in the Tucson, Arizona, area.

“There is a phrase in this email that absolutely makes me believe this person who wrote this, and if they’re telling the truth, that Nancy is within a radius of the Tucson area — not in Tucson right now, but in a radius. It could be New Mexico. I don’t know how far, but I think at least what the authorities have is they’ve got a radius, and that’s something,” Levin said.

The TMZ host said there was a demand for payment in the form of bitcoin in the note.

Democrats evaded questions on Friday about whether there could be a link between their past heated rhetoric towards Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought and news that a man had been charged with attempting to kill him.

Authorities arrested Colin Demarco, 26, for arriving at Vought’s residence with a firearm after stating an intent to murder him last year.

The offices of Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Rep. Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn., and other high-ranking Democrats who have described Vought as a threat to the country did not respond to inquiries from Fox News Digital.

One Democrat, Rep. Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., did not address the questions about rhetoric but reacted to the arrest.

“I am deeply alarmed by the news that a man allegedly planned to murder OMB Director Vought. I am relieved the suspect was caught before any violence occurred,” Boyle said in a statement.

“Political violence is unacceptable and represents an attack not only on an individual but on our democracy itself. There is no place for political violence in the United States of America.”

However, in the past, many Democrats — including Boyle — have characterized Vought as a threat to the country.

“Make no mistake — his nomination is as dangerous as it gets. His views aren’t just extreme; they are a direct threat to our democracy, the rule of law and the basic principles of our government,” Boyle said last year when Trump announced Vought as the pick to lead OMB.

Similarly, Schumer called Vought “a danger to working people, a danger to America’s beliefs and ideals” in a speech delivered on the Senate floor.

According to authorities, Demarco approached Vought’s residence in Arlington, Va., on Aug. 10 while wearing a surgical mask and rubber gloves, carrying a backpack and concealing a weapon under his shirt.

Authorities arrived on the scene in time to deter Demarco’s alleged plans.

Police said a search of Demarco’s communications revealed he expressed intent to kill his target in online messages.

Demarco faces four charges: attempted murder, criminal solicitation to commit murder, wearing a mask in public to conceal identity and carrying a concealed weapon.

Vought, who was among the first Cabinet members nominated by Trump, has had a high level of influence on the administration even ahead of the election.

Vought was one of the chief architects behind Project 2025, a policy platform published by the conservative-leaning think tank, the Heritage Foundation, that the administration has mirrored on issues like immigration, the federal workforce and public funding.

At the time of his confirmation, Vought’s calls to shrink the government’s footprint brought fierce condemnation from critics like Warren.

“You can absolutely bet on Russ Vought pulling out the rug from working people over and over again. We don’t know where he will stop,” Warren said in remarks on the Senate floor.

“We don’t know how far Russ Vought’s extremism will go, but we can’t afford to wait and find out,” she added.

Other Democrats followed up on her calls.

“Vought is an extremist who believes the president is all-powerful. He has a radical plan to destroy and dismantle Congress’ investments in our families’ health, safety, and prosperity,” DeLauro, a top Democrat in the House, said of his plans to cut government programs.

Demarco is due in court on Feb. 23 for a preliminary hearing, according to the Arlington General District Court.

A meeting was held under the chairmanship of Bahujan Samaj Party President Mayawati regarding the 2027 elections in Uttar Pradesh. More than 1400 officials participated in this meeting, including the District President and the Assembly Speaker. In this meeting, discussions were held regarding expanding the organization and saving the support base.

BSP supremo Mayawati also spoke to journalists after this meeting. He said that the party officials will also be warned about the conspiracies being hatched by the opposition parties to weaken the BSP in Uttar Pradesh.

Mayawati targeted her opponents

The BSP supremo said that at present the central and state governments are busy in shining their politics under the guise of caste and religion instead of working on issues of public interest. This is creating a feeling of hatred in the society which is not good for the country and public interest.

During this time, Mayawati also targeted the uproar in the Parliament and said that instead of discussing in the Parliament, a drama is being done to humiliate each other. The laws made for running the Parliament should be implemented. Due to their mutual fighting, all the issues were sidelined. The government and the opposition should avoid these actions.

Politics of caste and religion instead of public interest

On the US-India trade deal, the BSP supremo said that even today work is not being done to improve the condition and conditions of farmers, laborers and Muslims in the country. He said that the position on tariffs should be clarified in Parliament. This country is watching. Dirty politics is being played by both the opposition and the ruling party to humiliate each other.

Opposition parties are conspiring every day to weaken BSP. Mayawati said that now there is very little time for assembly elections in UP. There was a big party meeting today in the interest of the party movement. State board and president of 403 seats also participated in this meeting. During this period, the annual activities of the party were carried out and SIR Was also discussed.

The sheriff leading the investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie acknowledged that missteps were made in the case’s early hours, including removing crime scene tape and delaying requests for assistance from outside law enforcement agencies.

According to reporting from The Arizona Republic, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said his department released Guthrie’s home as a crime scene too soon, only to return days later to recover additional evidence. Nanos acknowledged that, in hindsight, the scene should have remained secured longer and that other agencies could have been called in earlier.

Fox News Digital also obtained a statement indicating that the pilot of the county’s high-tech search aircraft had been disciplined following a dispute with Nanos and reassigned to street patrol, according to local law enforcement sources. As a result, the aircraft’s takeoff was delayed for several hours after Guthrie was reported missing around midday Sunday, the sources said.

“Three hours in a search for a vulnerable adult is an eternity,” a law enforcement source with knowledge of the situation told Fox News Digital.

INVESTIGATORS RETURN TO NANCY GUTHRIE’S HOME AS SEARCH FOR NBC HOST’S MOTHER CONTINUES

The Pima County Deputies Organization criticized the decision to reassign the pilot, telling Fox News Digital that it opposed the move at the time because it left a critical law enforcement asset understaffed.

According to the deputy organization, the pilot personally appealed the decision to Sheriff Chris Nanos but was reassigned to patrol anyway. The group said the move reflected what it described as a broader pattern of leadership decisions, citing another instance in which the department’s most experienced Search and Rescue deputy was transferred to patrol late last year without a replacement.

The deputy organization said those staffing decisions left key units short-handed during what became one of the highest-profile searches in the sheriff’s department’s history and during one of the busiest times of year for Search and Rescue operations.

Nanos said investigators believed they had completed processing the scene at the time, but later determined that conclusion was premature.

Authorities believe Guthrie — the mother of NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie — was forcibly taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona, though no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified. Nanos said Thursday that investigators are continuing to pursue all leads.

“Everybody is still a suspect in our eyes,” Nanos said.

Investigators outlined a timeline of events during a news conference Thursday, saying Guthrie was dropped off at her home around 9:48 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31, after having dinner with family.

Authorities said the home’s doorbell camera disconnected from the security system at 1:47 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 1. About 25 minutes later, software detected movement near the home, but no video footage was captured. At 2:28 a.m., Guthrie’s pacemaker application disconnected from her phone, which was later found inside the residence.

Nanos confirmed that blood discovered on the front porch was tested and that DNA analysis showed it belonged to Guthrie.

The FBI has since joined the investigation and is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to Guthrie’s recovery. Federal authorities said they are vetting ransom notes connected to the case and confirmed that at least one person has been arrested in connection with what investigators described as an “impostor ransom demand.”

Nanos said the case has evolved into a possible kidnapping and that multiple agencies are now sharing information and resources. He added that it does not matter which agency is leading the investigation, saying the priority remains locating Guthrie.

Guthrie’s son, Camron Guthrie, made a new video appeal Thursday directed at whoever may be holding his mother, urging them to contact the family.

“We haven’t heard anything directly,” he said. “Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you.”

Authorities have not released additional details, citing the ongoing investigation.
