The Nancy Guthrie case has taken a new turn after the authorities received information about an anonymous tip on the 84-year-old's alleged grave in Mexico.
After months of waiting for new leads in the Nancy Guthrie missing case, the search has taken a dramatic turn. It happened after a volunteer search group in Mexico claimed that they had received an anonymous tip that the missing 84-year-from Arizona's remains are buried in an unmarked grave. The tip claimed that the grave is near the U.S- Mexico border. Although the latest search did not yield any evidence related to Nancy, it has reignited efforts to solve the mystery of her long disappearance.
According to reports, Buscando Corazones Nogales received an anonymous tip. They are a volunteer organisation that helps to find missing persons in Mexico. The tip was received through a phone call, which alleged that Nancy Guthrie's remains were found in the Mariposa area near Nogales, Sonora. In fact, the tip claimed that the 84-year-old was buried in an unmarked grave near a stream close to the country's border with the U.S. In turn, the search organisation quickly started a search operation with the help of Sonora State Commission for the search for missing persons.
The volunteers, along with the authorities, searched the remote area where multiple unmarked graves were found sometime ago. Later, the search group's leader, Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, told the Mexican newspaper, El Imparcial, that the caller had specifically claimed that Nancy's remains were buried somewhere in that area. However, despite an extensive search effort, the investigators did not find any evidence related to Nancy's grave. According to reports, they found several burial sites, but none of them contained Nancy's remains. In their words:
"We began exploring this area and found the first four bodies; however, we saw signs that led us to believe there were more people buried there, so we shared information with another group in the city, who recently reported the discovery of several positive cases."
Still, the organisation plans to continue with their search for the possible grave and the anonymous tip. Meanwhile, the Pima County Sheriff's Department released a statement on the matter and clarified that the Mexican authorities did not directly contact them about the tip or the operation. Meanwhile, officials confirmed that Nancy's disappearance remains an active investigation, and they will follow up on any credible leads that will emerge in the case.
While the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, her daughter, NBC's Today show host, Savannah Guthrie, opened up about her missing mother. She spoke on the four-month milestone of her disappearance and explained how her mother's disappearance has taken an emotional toll on their family, who have no concrete answers.
During a TV update, she admitted that the grief remains overwhelming for them. Savannah shared that she cries every day on her way to work and again when she returns home. Although she tries to appear composed on TV, she has never stopped thinking about her mother and that she will be found soon. Sharing her feelings, she said:
"It's like the two hours of my day—it's not that I'm not thinking about it... But it's something to do. It brings me a lot of joy to be with everybody. My mom would've said the same thing, 'Honey, just keep going, just keep going.' And so, I am."
Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson's Catalina Foothills area during the early hours of February 1, 2026. Authorities believed that she was kidnapped. In turn, both the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are working together on the investigation. In fact, they also got surveillance footage showing a possible suspect who came to her property.
But they have made no arrests and found no suspects. Meanwhile, Savannah and her siblings have released a joint statement expressing their gratitude to the Tucson community for their continued support. Even Nancy's family increased the reward for any useful information to USD 1 million with a separate FBI reward.
