It's April 7. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News. Today, driven by AI, what everyone's talking about. Nancy Guthrie, mom to today's show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February 1, marking three months of intense search efforts. Now journalists Ashley Bamfield reveals the FBI is treating four ransom notes as legit, believing they all come from the same source warning of deadly consequences if ignored. Here this week, two new notes landed at TMZ from that same sender, who first hit up the family demanding one bit coin for key details on the kick-napper. Savannah herself confirmed on her show return that while most tips were bogus, she trust the original pair they acted on and the FBI is on the same page. The public and family have been on edge, with Savannah sharing raw emotion about the fakes flooding in, but these stand out amid millions spent on the case with no breakthroughs yet. Bamfield's scoop highlights how officials are shifting gears, no longer dismissing the claims.

These fresh letters get graphic one, says Nancy's dead and offers her body's location for half a bit coin up front, plus another half after arrest. The other claims the writer spotted her alive in Sonora, Mexico, stressing they're no criminal just seeking fair pay to vanish quietly. As the FBI ramps up with these credible leads, the hunt crosses borders, pushing hard for answers in this drawn out nightmare.
