Pima County sheriff says Mexican authorities have not made contact over Nancy Guthrie search tip

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department announced on Thursday that they have yet to be approached by Mexican officials following reports of a search initiated by an anonymous tip regarding Nancy Guthrie’s whereabouts.

Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, who leads the organization Buscando Corazones Nogales in Sonora, Mexico, revealed that they had received information suggesting the possible discovery of a grave belonging to Guthrie, aged 84.

According to a report by 12 News, the anonymous source indicated that a body resembling Guthrie’s description might be located in the Mariposa region near Nogales, Sonora, Mexico. Buscando Corazones Nogales is an organization dedicated to finding missing individuals in Mexico.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed the situation via a social media statement, acknowledging awareness of the circulating reports.

“As of now, we have not received any communication from Mexican authorities,” Sheriff Nanos stated. “This investigation remains active and ongoing, and we are committed to pursuing any credible leads that emerge.”

Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona, home in February. Authorities have said they believe she was abducted, but there is no evidence that she was taken across the southern border.

Doorbell camera video shows a masked man wearing gloves on the front steps of the home around the time of Guthrie’s abduction. The footage also captured a masked individual creeping up to the home three weeks earlier.

Her back door was also propped open by the time police arrived hours later, prompting questions about whether more than one person was involved. Supposed ransom notes were sent to TMZ and local media, but no one has been arrested in connection with the case.
