NEW: The FBI has reportedly determined the original ransom notes tied to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance were fake, according to a new Reuters report citing two FBI sources.

The report says investigators concluded the initial notes sent to media outlets were not authentic, though the FBI has not publicly commented and Reuters says it's still unclear how investigators reached that conclusion. Federal sources have previously distinguished those notes from later communications in the case.

Meanwhile, a California man accused of sending extortion texts and calls to the Guthrie family after Nancy's disappearance is expected to plead guilty in federal court tomorrow.

NYC says the required payment for certain nonresident city employees is not technically a tax.

But employees still have to pay an amount tied to what they would owe if they lived in the city.

Cops say their wallets know the difference.

NEW: King County prosecutors said they have refiled aggravated murder and attempted murder charges against Henry Eugene Washington in the 2020 Bothell police shooting that killed Officer Jonathan Shoop and injured Officer Mustafa Kumcur.

Washington was charged Friday with aggravated murder in the first degree with a firearm enhancement, attempted murder in the first degree with a firearm enhancement and vehicular assault.

The vehicular assault charge is connected to another man, who court documents say was hit by Washington’s car during the incident. Prosecutors are asking that Washington be held without bail.

In court filings, they said the aggravated murder and attempted murder charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison, and that a conviction for aggravated murder in the first degree would require a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
The case stems from a July 2020 traffic stop in Bothell.
