The Pima County Sheriff's Department has released two ransom notes received by local media in Tucson, Arizona, in the days after Nancy Guthrie was taken, while calling for the public's help in identifying their writer.
The redacted versions of the notes arrive six months after the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie was kidnapped from her Tucson-area home.
"These communications reveal distinctive patterns of word choice, syntax, and phraseology that reflect the writer's unique linguistic style," the Pima County Sheriff's Department said in a press release on Friday.
"They also provide valuable insight into the person's mindset, motives, and the evolution of their tone over time."
