Authorities say the release of Nancy Guthrie’s ransom notes has generated fresh leads.

Investigators are reviewing every detail, but no single tip has produced a confirmed breakthrough yet.

The phrase “THEY DESERVE TO DIE” appearing in the reference image should not be treated as an authenticated statement from Nancy, a suspect, or an investigator unless a reliable source confirms its origin.

Likewise, the woman pictured in the graphic should not automatically be described as a suspect or witness merely because she appears in an online video or thumbnail.

In a case this serious, viral graphics can combine real photographs with speculative captions.

THE REAL STORY IS IN THE EVIDENCE — NOT THE THUMBNAIL.
COULD THE NEXT BREAKTHROUGH COME FROM A LAB?
That is one of the biggest questions investigators now face.

The FBI has previously indicated that it was waiting for evidence-testing results before providing further details.
