Finding Nancy: The Nancy Guthrie Investigation
Aug 11, 2026 · 21 min · 24 segments
You've followed the Nancy Guthrie case from the first night, so you know what the July 31 release of the ransom notes actually changed: for the first time, the public can read the writer's own words…
Blood on her porch, her doorbell camera dead, her pacemaker disconnected at 2.28 in the morning.
For six months now, the people investigating this held two letters that claimed to explain everything, including one that says she'd already been dead and buried somewhere in nature.
On July 31st, they finally let the public read them and the question was, Filling up our inboxes now ever since is the one no family should ever have to ask.
Do you believe the note? And I guess the big question is, should the family believe it? The second note says she perished shortly after she was taken, that she's buried in nature now.
Should they believe a word of these two notes? And I want to just conjecture it here to why the two are connected, because there's been a lot of notes that have come in.
They were from the same IP address and they appear in that first one to mention things that some believe would be.
Saying that the floodlight was destroyed, which we still have yet to confirm if the damn thing was actually destroyed.
I'm like, was it destroyed? Do we even know if that was destroyed? And nobody seems to know for sure.
And that the watch... was found on the floor and that that was noted and that it was specific enough that, of course, someone would have to have been in the house to know it.
