Dr. Kris Mohandie questioned the veracity of the notes due to inconsistent pronouns and the suspicious nature of the sender declaring it a ransom note. Criminal profiler John Kelly went further, concluding the notes appear to be written by two different people—one cold and one emotional—and stated, "I don't believe they're real."

A forensic psychologist who once helped talk O.J.

Dr. Kris Mohandie, a forensic psychologist who spoke to Fox Digital about the case, said he believes the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie from her home in Tucson, Arizona, was not the sophisticated abduction the ransom letters suggest.

Two ransom notes followed within days, one sent to a local television station, the other to the Guthrie…Open
