The newly released Nancy Guthrie ransom notes may have revealed more than investigators intended.
Yes, investigators.
Those who have closely watched this tragic case unfold spotted an apparent inconsistency.
Did authorities lie about this case?
‘I don’t have any note’
On Friday, July 31, investigators released two ransom notes, seeking clues in the writing style and diction employed by Nancy’s one-time captors.
The day after her disappearance, one note taunted: “Hello Savannah, we have your mother.”
That note demanded $4 million in a bitcoin ransom in exchange for Nancy’s safe return. The note also contained details about the interior of Nancy’s home.
“We never intended to hurt her, that was not our intention,” confessed another note, four days later.
The second note admitted: “She perished shortly after she was taken. We believe it was heart related. She is buried in nature now.”
“Hello Savannah, We have your mother Nancy.”

Just one day earlier, however, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos had painted a very different picture.
Speaking to CBS News at the time, he counted himself among those who wouldn’t rule out that Nancy might be alive.
“I have nothing to indicate she’s dead,” Nanos said on Thursday, approximately six months after the first ransom note came in.
“I don’t have a body,” he said accurately. Nanos added: “I don’t have a burial site.”
The sheriff then claimed: “I don’t have any note.”
Did he lie?
It is entirely possible that Sheriff Nanos lied.
Sharing a piece of misinformation — a small piece as part of a larger statement — is a sound policy when following an investigation, even if it means misleading the public.
Many killers, kidnappers, terrorists, and more will monitor the news, either out of self-preservation or narcissism.
A simple misstatement can, in rare cases, taunt a particularly hotheaded criminal into making a mistake — such as writing in to journalists or investigators to correct them.
Remember how they caught the BTK killer. He was effectively taunted out of hiding, and then tricked into communicating. Statistically, most killers are not especially bright — especially not the ones who get caught.

There is an alternative possibility: that Sheriff Nanos either did not consider the note genuine, or simply wasn’t sure if it’s legitimate and therefore wasn’t willing to stop looking for a missing person.
You do not, under any circumstances, “gotta hand it” to police, but that is a sound and safe approach to any missing person’s case. There were a lot of fake notes, and ending a search prematurely is a bad move.
When the Titan submersible went silent, it was almost certainly because every member of the expedition — one of whom may have been an innocent, pressured into going by a parent — died in a fraction of a second as the ocean’s depths crushed them. But the search continued, just in case.
Even without the note, it seems very likely that Nancy died shortly after her abduction.
Whoever took her (the emphatic use of “we” in the kidnapping note seems to suggest just one culprit) could not have planned that. But it is entirely their fault — which is likely why that individual will live in fear of being caught every day until they are.

Kelly Osbourne is mad.
And even though she didn’t mention her baby daddy by name, it seems like he might be the cause of her current fury.
As we previously reported, Kelly and Sid Wilson broke off their engagement in March.
Sid’s tough times continued this week when he was fired from Slipknot after over 25 years with the band.
“Strange how the loudest defense of the guilty is rarely innocence … It’s distraction,” Kelly wrote in her Instagram Story on Monday.
“When the mask slips, they don’t face the mirror they throw it at someone else,” she continued, adding:
“I also heard that when you break a mirror you get 7 years bad luck! Or is that just karma? This is why I always take accountability. As they say some are sicker than others.”
Again, she didn’t mention Sid by name, but it’s worth noting that the members of Slipknot wear literal masks while performing on stage.
Kelly continued to lash out in subsequent posts.
“Wake the f–up and take some responsibility I will not take your s–t anymore! I’m done,” she wrote at one point (via Us Weekly). “I want to be happy and I have a beautiful son to raise. Leave me alone. Let me heal. I can’t protect you from yourself anymore.”
Osbourne then shared a meme that read:
“My job is to protect my kids. Not your feelings. Not your expectations. Not judgements I didn’t ask for. My responsibility is to protect their well-being. Their nervous systems. Their emotional safety. I will choose them every single time. Over anyone. Over anything.”
Sid proposed to Kelly at Ozzy Osbourne’s final concert last summer.
The couple share a three-year-old son, but they never made it to the altar.
The cause of their split is unclear, but many have noted that Kelly took Ozzy’s death very hard, and the loss has reportedly taken a tremendous psychological toll.
The cause of Sid’s firing is similarly mysterious, but insiders say he had been clashing with his bandmates for quite some time.
In any event, it’s been quite a year for these two.
