The Pima County Sheriff’s Department announced it has yet to receive communication from Mexican authorities regarding new developments in the case of missing Nancy Guthrie. Recent news reports suggest a search operation may have been initiated based on an anonymous tip south of the border.
Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, who leads the organization Buscando Corazones Nogales in Sonora, Mexico, revealed the group got a tip pointing to a potential grave of Guthrie, 84, near Nogales, Sonora. This tip indicated that a body fitting Guthrie’s description might be found in the Mariposa area, according to 12 News. Buscando Corazones Nogales is dedicated to finding individuals who are missing in Mexico.

BORDER PROTOCOLS AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGERED IN SEARCH FOR NANCY GUTHRIE, RETIRED AGENT SAYS
Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February 2026, having disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona, residence. Authorities suspect she may have been abducted, yet there is no substantiated evidence suggesting she was transported over the southern border.
Security footage captured a masked man wearing gloves at the front steps of Guthrie’s home at the time of her abduction. A similar masked figure was also recorded approaching the home three weeks before her disappearance. The back door was found ajar when police arrived, raising questions about the involvement of multiple individuals. Despite ransom notes being sent to TMZ and local news outlets, no arrests have been made.
