Volunteers Search For Nancy Guthrie After Anonymous Tip Points Toward Mexico.

The search for Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, has taken another emotional and unsettling turn after a volunteer group in Mexico received an anonymous tip about her possible whereabouts.

Nancy, 84, was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona, home on the night of January 31. Her family reported her missing the next day after she failed to show up for a virtual church service with friends. Since then, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI have been working to find her, while her family has continued pleading for answers.

Now, the search has expanded across the border.

According to PEOPLE, the Mexico-based volunteer organization Buscando Corazones Nogales received an anonymous tip claiming Nancy may have been buried near Nogales, close to the U.S.-Mexico border. The group’s name translates to “Looking for Hearts,” and it often helps families search for missing loved ones in areas where unmarked graves have previously been found.

The tip reportedly pointed volunteers toward a stream area near Mariposa, Mexico. Searchers first examined the area on May 16 but found nothing. After receiving a second call with additional information, the group searched again on June 10. That second search was also unsuccessful, and another search was reportedly planned.

So far, there is no confirmed evidence that Nancy Guthrie is in that area. That detail is important. The tip remains unverified, and authorities have not publicly confirmed that Nancy was taken to Mexico or buried there.

Still, in missing-person cases, even uncertain tips can matter. Families often live in a painful space between hope and fear. Every new lead can feel like a possible breakthrough, but it can also bring more heartbreak when nothing is found.

For Savannah Guthrie and her loved ones, that emotional weight has been unbearable. Savannah has spoken publicly about the pain of not knowing where her mother is, saying she continues to pray and search for answers. For months, her family has lived with the same questions: What happened to Nancy? Where is she? Who knows the truth?

The search in Mexico has intensified public attention because the region has a troubling history. Volunteers have previously searched nearby areas where multiple unmarked graves were discovered. That background makes the anonymous tip especially disturbing, even though investigators have not confirmed a direct connection to Nancy’s case.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the agency is aware of the anonymous tip but had not been contacted by Mexican authorities at the time of the report. He added that the investigation remains active and that officials will continue following any credible information. The FBI also said the investigation is ongoing.

For now, Nancy Guthrie remains missing.

The latest search has not brought the answers her family desperately needs, but it shows that volunteers, investigators and loved ones have not stopped looking. Every effort matters. Every tip must be checked. Every possibility must be followed carefully.

For Savannah, this is not just a public story. It is a daughter’s nightmare.

And until Nancy is found, the search continues — with hope, fear and the painful need for truth.
