Overview
- Volunteers with Buscando Corazones Nogales searched a Mariposa area near Nogales after an anonymous tip and reported they found no remains connected to Nancy Guthrie.
- The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said it has not been formally contacted by Mexican authorities about the tip and that the investigation remains active and ongoing.
- Law enforcement arrested YouTuber Alexander Zabel Jr. outside Guthrie’s Tucson-area home, which deputies said occurred on June 11 and resulted in bookings for resisting arrest and public nuisance.
- Authorities emphasize that FBI-released surveillance footage and physical evidence collected at the scene remain central to the case while DNA and other lab testing continue to take time.
- The region has produced dozens of unmarked graves in past searches, volunteer groups work independently of officials, and the Guthrie family and FBI continue to offer rewards for credible information.
