Savannah Guthrie believes the 2 ransom notes her family received regarding her mother Nancy Guthrie's disappearance were legit.

The "Today" host reflected on the ransom notes during her sitdown with Hoda Kotb ... saying she believes the notes her family responded to are real, and the rest likely phony.

We were first to report on a ransom note back in February ... demanding millions in bitcoin, while claiming Nancy was safe but frightened. We received that note and immediately contacted the Pima County Sheriff, and hours later, we received the first of many calls from the FBI.

What's puzzling ... Savannah said early on her family would pay the ransom, but we have been monitoring the bitcoin address and the money was never paid. We know the family was in constant contact with the FBI, but we do not know if there was a change of heart.

UFC boss Dana White is stepping in to change a young girl’s life ... offering to cover every penny of Maya Gebala’s medical care after she survived a horrific school shooting.

TMZ Sports has confirmed White is footing the bill for treatment at a top Los Angeles-area hospital … and is willing to foot the accommodations for the 12-year-old's family so they can be by her side.

The incredible gesture was revealed by Maya’s mother, Cia Edmonds, who shared an emotional update on GoFundMe after finally receiving some long-awaited good news.

Edmonds says the UFC president reached out early in Maya’s hospitalization ... offering fully paid treatment at one of the “top tier” hospitals in L.A. -- a move that wasn’t possible before now because Maya wasn’t stable enough to travel.

But that could be changing.

As TMZ first reported, the reality star and Slutty Vegan owner rushed to court last week, claiming a creditor seized one of her rental homes and changed the locks on the 6-bedroom, 4-bathroom, 2,814-square-foot home in the city of Loganville ... despite her bankruptcy putting a pause on any collection efforts.

YNW Melly has been in jail for 7 years waiting for another trial in his Florida murder case ... and he wants out on bond pending that trial.

In court docs, obtained by TMZ, the 26-year-old rapper -- legal name Jamell Demons -- is requesting a release from custody pending trial, through his attorney Drew Findling.

The papers go in depth about the purportedly "dehumanizing" living conditions in the Broward County Jail and their impact on Melly.

Ne-Yo said he didn't sign off on the deal and didn't even know about it ... but he says it's cool in his book, as long as human beings are writing the lyrics and producing the songs.

Officers were initially dispatched for a “burglary hot prowl” -- essentially when a suspect is trying to break in when a resident is inside -- around 12:45 AM.

Officers took a report of an attempted burglary at the scene after an employee at the house called police. Police said there was an attempt to enter through the rear door, but suspects did not gain entry. Another person monitoring surveillance video also called LAPD.

She said, "We thought she must have had some kind of medical episode in the night and that somehow the paramedics had come, because the back doors were propped open, and that didn't make any sense."
