Overview
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson-area home and is believed to have been abducted on Feb. 1 after blood was found on her porch and surveillance showed a masked person near the house.
- On June 11 the Mexican volunteer group Buscando Corazones Nogales said it had received an anonymous tip about a grave in the Mariposa area and searched the site but found no remains or evidence linking the graves to Guthrie.
- The Sonora prosecutor’s office reported it found no objective evidence that Guthrie entered or traveled through Sonora, and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office said it has not been formally contacted by Mexican authorities about the tip.
- Investigators and the FBI continue forensic work on blood, DNA and hair samples processed at multiple labs, and officials say lab timelines and strict protocols are delaying definitive results.
- The case remains active with a $1 million family reward, extensive volunteer search activity and an appeal for anyone with credible information to contact law enforcement.
