Tonight we're learning more about that
second note received by Savannah
Guthrie's family after the disappearance
of her mother, Nancy Guthrie. That
second note saying she died shortly
after being abducted. And tonight
Savannah's new and tearful plea saying
we cannot be at peace, convinced someone
knows something that could help. Here's
Aaron Katersky.
>> Tonight a renewed plea from the family
of Nancy Guthrie after sources told ABC
News a second ransom note claimed she
died shortly after she was abducted from
her home and was buried in nature.
Daughter Savannah begging for someone to come forward.
>> This is a new story today that is on your radar, but this is the life that my sister lives, that I live, that my brother lives, that our extended families live, that our children live every day. And we are in agony.
And we cannot be at peace. So no matter how much I try to come out here every day and smile and find that joy, and I will, I promise I will.
This is the moment to tell you that we need your help. We're begging for your help.
>> Savannah and her siblings received two notes the FBI believed were from the same sender, but so far have not led to the kidnapper.
The first note demanded millions in Bitcoin.
Sources said the second claimed Nancy Guthrie was no longer alive.
>> Do the right thing for us, for our family, for our children. And we love our mom and we'll never stop looking for her, never.
>> Investigators have not stopped either.
They're still working to identify the masked man at her front door and trace the items he carried including a backpack sold at Walmart, gloves, holster, and gun.
>> And David, investigators have not given up on DNA.
They're testing a mixed sample and a hair found at Nancy Guthrie's home. That kind of analysis could take months, David.
>> Let's hope that DNA breaks this open,
Aaron. Thank you.
