The sheriff in charge of the investigation into "Today" host Savannah Guthrie's mom Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has revealed that there is a "new possible ransom note" discovered in connection with the case.

Nancy vanished from her Arizona home in the early hours of Feb. 1; however, little to no information about her whereabouts in the months since has been revealed—despite footage from a security camera at her front door capturing video of an armed intruder approaching the property shortly before her disappearance.

Savannah, 54, has repeatedly turned to the public for help finding her mother, sharing emotional social media videos and directly addressing those believed to be responsible for Nancy's disappearance.

Now, over seven months since Nancy's abduction, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) has revealed an update in the investigation.

The spokesperson told People that the department was "recently made aware of a new possible ransom note related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation."

“Investigators are also aware of social media comments regarding the note and are looking further into the information to determine its credibility,” PCSD added.

Anyone with any information about Nancy Guthrie's case should call 1-800-CALL-FBI, 520-351-4900, 88-CRIME, or visit https://tips.fbi.gov/.

The update comes mere weeks after Savannah issued a heartbreaking new plea over the disappearance of her mom.

Savannah's request came after Emmy winner Allison Janney spoke about the case in the press room following her win, revealing that Nancy and the Guthrie family have remained on her mind.

“I honestly can say I think about her every day and think about the loss and what Savannah and her family are going through. It truly just took over. I don’t think I’m alone too. I think all of America was thinking about her," Janney shared.

Savannah later revealed that Janney's comments had deeply touched her, while using the moment to renew her call for information about her mother's whereabouts.

“I never let a moment pass, if I get one, to talk about my mom and how much we miss her and love her, my whole family, my sister, and my brother, and I and all of our extended families, we’re in such pain. We need help. So thank you, Allison Janney, for remembering us and for giving an opportunity for me to renew that call," she said.

"We just want our mom home, give her a proper goodbye. That’s all," Savannah added.

In a previous clip, the "Today" anchor targeted her message to anyone who might have information about Nancy's whereabouts, begging them to help end "the nightmare" that her family has been going through.

Savannah, who has two siblings, Annie and Cameron, appeared to allude to several ransom notes that were issued in the wake of her mother's disappearance—in which the sender claimed to have knowledge of Nancy's location, while asking for money in return for those details.

It comes just over one month after Savannah last addressed her mother's disappearance publicly—opening up during a live "Today" show broadcast about reports that had surfaced about the ransom notes sent after Nancy vanished.

Two ransom notes were sent to various news outlets in the days after Nancy vanished from her Arizona home in the early hours of Feb. 1—however, the full contents of the second note had not previously been made public.

According to CNN, one of the outlets that received the notes, law enforcement requested that publications refrain from reporting the information in order to give authorities time to authenticate the communications.

Investigators now believe that the notes were legitimate and were sent by those responsible for Nancy's disappearance. The latest note is understood to have contained no apology or request for payment.

Addressing the latest update on the June 23 episode of "Today," Savannah made clear that she was not actively involved in NBC's coverage of her own mother's disappearance, but noted that she could simply ignore the news while she was on the air—admitting that her family had been left in "agony" while waiting to find out what happened to Nancy.
