Summary
A slight increase in tips reached Pima County investigators after they released the full text of two alleged ransom notes on July 31, and officials said every lead is being followed up.
The notes, sent Feb. 2 and Feb. 6 after Nancy Guthrie disappeared, claimed she was being held for ransom and later said she had died shortly after being taken.
One message cited a white smartwatch on the floor and a broken backyard floodlight — details authorities say were not yet public when the first note arrived.
Retired FBI negotiator Jason Pack said the watch detail suggests familiarity with the Tucson home, while authorities still have not authenticated the notes and continue seeking public help.
