Die Journalistin Briana Whitney hat im Podcast „Crime Junkie“ den Inhalt der ersten Lösegeldforderung verlesen:
Whitney read aloud from the note: "Hello, Savannah. We have your mother, Nancy. She is safe but scared. She will be held for ransom, and once payment is received, she will be released unharmed. We will be holding her for a maximum of seven days."

Whitney said the note went on to demand the millions of dollars stated in U.S. currency and provided two deadlines. Sources previously told PEOPLE it specified two separate sums: $4 million in bitcoin due Thursday, Feb. 5, and if that was not met, an increased demand of $6 million by Monday, Feb. 9.

“Once payment is received to the Bitcoin address below, she will be released within 12 hours of deposit to a safe drop off location back in Tucson,” Whitney continued, reading aloud.

“If the payment is not received by the last deadline on Monday the 9th at 5 p.m., she will be killed. Your mother is aware of this and her life is in your hands. It is in the best interest of everyone to have this completed as soon as possible. You will not be able to contact me from here on out. There will be no negotiation. Do not play games. Law enforcement will not be able to help you,” Whitney read.

At the end of the note, the sender included additional details about Nancy’s home, Whitney said.

"They said she had a white smartwatch that was on the floor near her bed, like at the foot of her bed, and that there was a floodlight in the backyard that had been destroyed," she said.

Whitney added that the FBI is still investigating whether the note is legitimate.

PEOPLE's request for comment from the FBI was not immediately returned. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, the lead investigative agency in the case, said it has "no additional information to provide at this time.

Wie die Journalistin an den vermeintlichen Brief gekommen sein will, geht aus der Quelle nicht hervor. Möglicherweise durch TMZ? Die waren ja Brieffreund mit dem/den angeblichen Entführer/n.
