What To Know

  • A volunteer group in Mexico has expanded its search for missing Nancy Guthrie in two new locations.
  • Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today’s Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February 1.
  • The Pima County Sheriff’s Department states the investigation remains active and they are monitoring credible leads.

A volunteer search group in Mexico has launched a follow-up search almost a week after receiving an anonymous tip about missing Nancy Guthrie‘s whereabouts.

Buscando Corazones Nogales, a volunteer group in Mexico that searches for missing people, told TMZ that it is returning to the field to expand its search. The group is focusing on two new locations near Nogales, a border city of Nancy’s hometown of Tucson, Arizona. The new locations were described as “vast” and “difficult to cover.”

Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Today‘s Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February 1, when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson. Investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect and sent DNA for testing at the FBI lab in Quantico, but no suspects have been named.

Last week, the leader of Buscando Corazones Nogales, Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, stated that the group received an anonymous call informing them that Nancy had been buried in an unmarked grave in the Mariposa area. The position is located west of Nogales and near the border strip with Arizona.

While the search uncovered 25 unmarked graves, none were connected to Nancy, and no other evidence was found. However, the volunteer group remains committed to its search in the hopes of finding answers.

On Thursday (June 11), the Pima County Sheriff’s Department issued a statement about the volunteer search, writing, “We are aware of the reports regarding an anonymous tip related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation that was provided to a group in Mexico. At this time, we have not been contacted by the Mexican authorities.”

The statement went on to read: “The investigation remains active and ongoing, and we will continue to follow up on any credible information.”

    I hope the Mexican authorities don't contact Pima County and they contact the FBI instead. Pima County has screwed this high profile case up from the beginning and to this day has done NOTHING..

    Incredible that with today's technology this lady has not been found.... Can't wait to know who did it and how they did it. It seems unbelievable.

    What I can't seem to understand is this and it's been bugging me since the beginning of her disappearance is this..... With all the money the Guthrie family has is this. How is this elderly 80 something year old lady living all alone out in the desert and no CNA or caretaker living with her ? That they were able to get to her and no one else was there and no one saw anything ? And as for security ? A ringtone camera ? They couldn't put a more elaborate security system in place ? At times I feel this is just a hoax. Too many inconsistencies..... People have been know to do things for publicity....

      Its probably her choice as long as she is able. Her mind was good as of the day of the kidnapping/ abduction. Annie would check on her and probably run errands for her. Someone with a good mind you cannot force them to do something against their will.

    I think they need to do a better job at finding her with all the police officers they have and all the fbi and all the investors they have

    That seems crazy to me to look in Mexico. How did they get this sweet older woman across the border???

      WHY is the first question!

      Probably in the trunk. From what I’ve observed, they seldom do trunk checks for cars going into Mexico; and if through the Native Reservation into Mexico; no one will stop them.

      I’m guessing they thought they could tap Nancy’s Crypto & bank accounts, along with hoping for ran$om money.

    Sin palabras. Antes que termine el año espero que den con los responsables y que se pudran en la cárcel.

      Estoy de acuerdo; …. estos culpables son sociópatas sin sentido de empatía o buena voluntad hacia los demás. No vivirán mucho tiempo si son condenados a prisión, ya que incluso los matones en las penitenciarías odian ese tipo de basura humana. ¡¡Rezando por su captura!!
