Nancy Guthrie Breaking Update: Anonymous Tip Prompted Search Group to Look for 84-Year-Old's Remains
A search for remains in Mexico near the U.S.-Mexico border was underway on Wednesday, June 10, after Buscando Corazones Nogales-a group that works to find missing people-received an anonymous tip about Nancy Guthrie's possible whereabouts.
Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, head of Buscando Corazones Nogales, said that the group was alerted to an "unmarked grave" in the area, according to the New York Post. The group found 25 unmarked graves, and despite efforts to search the area, they did not locate Guthrie, Ortiz said.
Parade reached out to the Pima County Sheriff's Department for comment and was referred to the department's social media account where a statement was released.
"We are aware of 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 Mexican authorities," the statement read. "This investigation remains active and ongoing, and we will continue to follow up on any credible information."
This isn't the first time that people following the Guthrie case have heard about Nogales, an area in Mexico that is about 60 miles south of Tucson. Back in February, NewsNation's Brian Entin traveled to Nogales in the state of Sonora, after unverified ransom notes claimed that the case had gone "international."
Entin spoke to a number of people in the area, and reported that none of those people were familiar with the case or even knew who Guthrie was.
Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. Authorities believe that she was abducted from her Arizona home in the middle of the night.
Last month, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told People magazine that the case was still very active although there haven't been any public updates.
"When the labs tell us, ‘Hey, there's nothing else we can do,' well, then maybe we've got a problem… we've got a cold case… but right now, the labs aren't telling us that," he said.
Anyone with information about the case is asked to call Tucson's 88-Crime hotline at 1-520-882-7463 or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
