"There are a number of pieces of information in these notes that just might jar someone to say, 'You know, I've heard that,' or the wording, the style of the writing," Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said in the interview-style video.

It remains unclear if the notes were penned by the same sender.

Nanos said investigators remain actively reviewing tens of thousands of tips, videos and forensic leads as they continue searching for the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
