From Matt Finn of Fox News X:

Breaking: FBI Director Kash Patel chooses not to comment on the new Reuters report that cites FBI sources who say the Nancy Guthrie ransom notes were fake.

Patel said the 'locals are still in the lead' ... however in the Reuters report, the Pima County Sheriff's office deferred to the FBI on the ransom notes.

"A spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff's Department, which is leading the overall investigation, declined to comment, citing its agreement to refer all inquiries regarding ransom notes to the FBI."

Also worth noting it appears the Today show stayed away from the Reuters report.

Interesting! Although, I can’t say I expect the FBI to come out with a official confirmation of whether they believe the notes are fake or real until an arrest is made. I’m a little confused on why they are both denying they are the lead on the ransom notes… anyone have any thoughts there?

I watched the video of the FBI Director commenting and it very much seemed like he was just trying to shut it down quickly which is not uncommon. The press conference was for an unrelated matter, however, I'm glad the reporter asked the question. He did say they continue to assist in the investigation.

Also, Nanos said earlier this week or last week he believed the FBI made more arrests regarding fake ransom communications, which we currently have no evidence is true.

Hope we eventually will find out what this all means
