A volunteer search effort for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie, has been launched in Mexico after an anonymous tip claimed her grave may have been found. The Buscando Corazones collective in Nogales, Sonora, received the tip on Wednesday, prompting an initial search in the Mariposa area near the Mexico-Arizona border. However, no remains were discovered. Pima County Sheriff's Office confirmed it is aware of the reports but has not been contacted by Mexican authorities. The investigation remains active, with officials vowing to follow up on credible leads.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31, 2026, after being dropped off at her daughter's home in Tucson, Arizona. She was reportedly abducted from her residence in the early hours of February 1, 2026. Authorities believe she was taken, though there is no evidence she crossed the border. A doorbell camera captured a masked individual near her home around the time of the abduction, as well as a similar figure three weeks earlier.
Savannah Guthrie has publicly expressed grief over her mother's disappearance, revealing she cries daily. The Buscando Corazones collective has previously uncovered 25 unmarked graves in the area and will continue searching for Nancy and other missing persons.
