KOLD news anchor Mary Coleman said that the ransom letter included a “dollar amount” and a “deadline”

Details are being shared about the contents of the alleged ransom note received by Tucson local news station KOLD regarding the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy, 84, was last seen on Saturday, Jan. 31, and an urgent search began for her on Sunday, Feb. 1 by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD).

In the days since Nancy disappeared from her Arizona home, there have been reports of alleged ransom notes being sent to media outlets, including local news station KOLD News 13.

On Wednesday, Feb. 4, KOLD anchor Mary Coleman appeared on CNN’s Erin Burnett Outfront and shared information about the alleged ransom note that was sent to the news station via email.

Coleman said it regarded Nancy’s disappearance and said that authorities are “still looking into the legitimacy” of the ransom note.

“There are a few things that we can share as far as what the contents were. A lot of it is information that only someone who is holding her for ransom would know — some very sensitive information and things that people who were there when she was taken captive would know,” Coleman said.

“So those are things that are concerning. We immediately sent that information over to the sheriff’s department,” Coleman added. She said a detective got back to them and asked for more information to search for an IP address for the email.

Coleman also shared that the ransom letter included a “dollar amount” and a “deadline,” as well as “other specifics that only Guthrie’s abductor might know, so that definitely raised some red flags.”

The existence of an alleged ransom note was acknowledged by Savannah, 54, in an emotional Instagram video shared on Feb. 4, where she sat with her siblings, Camron and Annie, and pleaded for their mom’s safe return.

“We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media,” Savannah said in the video. “As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk.”

“However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know without a doubt that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”

No suspect has been identified, nor has any person of interest, in the ongoing investigation into Nancy’s whereabouts, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told PEOPLE on Wednesday, Feb. 4.

“Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. We are also awaiting additional forensic results,” the spokesperson said.

In an interview with NBC’s Liz Kreutz that same day, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said, “We have nothing else to go on but the belief that she is here. She’s present. She’s alive, and we want to save her.”

In the tearful video shared on Feb. 4, Savannah called her mom “our heart and our home,” as she expressed concern about her mother’s medical well-being.

“She is 84 years old,” Savannah said. “Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer.”

“Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman,” Savannah continued. “Everyone is looking for you mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again. We speak to you every moment and we pray without ceasing and we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you.”
