Former FBI Agent Breaks Down Nancy Guthrie Ransom Notes—And What They Mean For Investigation

The search for Nancy Guthrie has officially passed the six-month mark, and the 84-year-old still hasn’t been found and no suspects have publicly been named. One day after Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told CBS that he had “nothing to indicate she’s dead," including any note, his department released the text of two ransom notes that were sent on February 2 and 6. The first addressed “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie directly, and demanded 4 to 6 million dollars in bitcoin for her mother’s safe release. The note threatened that Nancy would be killed if the money was not received by a February 9 deadline. The second note, which addressed the Guthrie family, said that whoever took her failed to “fully grasp the seriousness of her physical condition,” she died shortly after she was abducted, and she “is buried in nature now.” Retired FBI Special Agent Daniel Brunner joined “Forbes True Crime” to discuss the notes and where the case stands a full six months after Nancy Guthrie went missing.

How To Build A Monthly AI Budget For Your Small Businesses

Companies are no longer using AI as an experiment, they are now at a point where they view AI spending as a serious financial risk. Uber burned through its entire 2026 budget for AI coding tools in four months, and the company’s chief operating officer said the costs are getting harder to justify. But enterprise budgets contain "cushion" that no small business has. If the AI costs for small businesses were treated similarly to those for Uber's (a large company), they would create payroll pressures for a 12-employee firm. Forbes contributor TerDawn DeBoe explains how small businesses can future-proof their AI spending.
