TUCSON, Ariz. (13 News) – CBS News<\/b><\/u><\/i> is reporting that investigators familiar with the case believe the two alleged ransom notes 13 News<\/b><\/u><\/i> received in February likely came from the person or persons who abducted Nancy Guthrie.<\/p>\n

13 News can confirm we received two notes in the days after Guthrie went missing from her Catalina Foothills home on Feb. 1.<\/b><\/u><\/i><\/p>\n

Just like then, 13 News is now not releasing the full details of the notes out of respect for the family and the investigation. We also shared the IP address from which the notes came to law enforcement. While they were not from the same IP address, the sender used the same type of secure server to hide their address.<\/p>\n

The first note came one day after doorbell camera videos were released of a masked person appearing to tamper with the camera in the moments before Guthrie vanished. That note demanded millions in Bitcoin in exchange for Guthrie\u2019s return. The Guthrie family responded and said they would pay.<\/p>\n

In the second note, the writer claimed Guthrie had died after the abduction.<\/p>\n

The family took both notes seriously because they were written in simlar language and system, and came from the same computer address, according to several sources.<\/p>\n

13 News reached out to the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department about the CBS report, and the PCSD referred us to the FBI.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe both (FBI and PCSD) are grateful for the media\u2019s attention and assistance in handling such pieces of evidence with such sensitivity to both the case and the family,\u201d the PCSD said.<\/p>\n

The FBI has said it believes the two notes came from the same person, but did not comment on the claims that they came from the actual suspect.<\/p>\n

The first note contained details about the crime scene, while the second note had details the senders believe would prove to investigators they\u2019re the same people who sent the first note.<\/p>\n

Guthrie\u2019s daughter, \u201cToday\u201d show co-host Savannah Guthrie, said in a March interview that she believes the notes came from the abductors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are a lot of different notes, I think, that came, and I think most of them \u2014 it\u2019s my understanding \u2014 are not real, and I didn\u2019t see them,\u201d she said. \u201cBut I believe the two notes that we received, that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real.\u201d<\/p>\n

As 13 News has reported, there is a $1.2 million reward for information leading to an arrest in the case or the recovery of Guthrie or her remains.<\/p>\n

If you have information on Nancy Guthrie\u2019s disappearance, Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Detectives want to hear from you. You can contact them at 520-359-4900. You can also call 1-800-CALL- FBI.<\/p>\n

A third ransom note was sent out, but investigators determined it was a hoax, and a California man was arrested.<\/b><\/u><\/i> Derrick Callella was supposed to go to trial in a federal courthouse in Tucson this week, but a motion to continue was granted, and a change of plea hearing was set for July 2.<\/p>\n
