After Savannah Guthrie returned to the 'Today' show, a new, unexpected detail about her missing mother has made headlines. Here's what you must know about it.
Nancy Guthrie has been moving ahead without any major leads or suspects after she went missing on February 1, 2026. While cops are continuing to pursue her case, a new and mysterious claim has added another twist to the high-profile disappearance, shocking netizens. On one hand, while Savannah Guthrie made her comeback on the Today show after weeks, a tipster has come forward with a bold allegation raising doubts that Nancy might be in Mexico.
According to TMZ, Nancy Guthrie's missing-person case has seen a recent development after an anonymous tipster reportedly tried to contact media outlets for weeks. According to reports, the individual had sent messages to these outlets that he had seen Nancy Guthrie alive with her alleged kidnappers in Sonara Mexico. For those unaware, the region is situated on the border of Arizona, the place from where Nancy went missing months ago. Sharing his information, the tipster said:
"I saw her alive with them in the state of Sonora, Mexico."
Although the tipster provided a specific location in his message, the claim became even more confusing when the same person quickly added that Nancy might no longer be alive. Subsequently, the contradiction of his claims has raised more questions. Things do not stop here because the tipster has demanded a payment in Bitcoin in exchange for sharing the details about the 84-year-old's alleged kidnappers.
Moreover, the person initially asked for 1 Bitcoin but soon said he would accept Passes' payment upfront, with the rest when his information helped the authorities catch the alleged kidnappers. Notably, the individual also revealed that he/she has no connection to the crime and has been living outside the United States for several years. But authorities are still sceptical of these claims. According to the tipster's words:
"It's unbelievable that millions have been wasted and yet here I am willing to deliver them on a silver platter since February 11 for a bitcoin, but I am disregarded as a scam ... they are free, and the case is frozen, but the egos remain hot when it comes to me. Arrogance at its finest."
Some reports suggest the information was already shared with federal agencies sometime ago, but they did not confirm whether the tip is being investigated or is credible. Since the investigators have taken no action on the tip or made no payments, it is assumed that they are possibly treating it as a potential scam. Experts had already warned that high-profile.
The new information about Nancy Guthrie comes at a time when her youngest daughter, Savannah Guthrie, made an emotional comeback to the Today show on April 6, 2026. After being absent for two-months ever since her mother went missing, Savannah has returned to work. Once the broadcast started, she acknowledged that she had been through a difficult phase and that it felt "good to be home" and to resume her role. Needless to say, Savannah's return was emotional, and fans gathered with welcome signs hoping together for Nancy's safe return.
Meanwhile, the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's missing case has continued. She was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. Since then, there have been no confirmed sightings, arrests or suspects in the case. The FBI, assisting the local authorities in the case, got a breakthrough when footage from a broken camera showcased a masked man near her home at midnight.
Apart from those updates, there have been no major updates in the case. Some evidence collected from the crime scene suggests that Nancy might have struggled, which has led everyone to the belief that she might have been taken away against her will. Subsequently, the Guthrie family announced a USD 1 million reward for any information that might lead to Nancy's safe recovery.
