An anonymous new tip has sent searchers scrambling for answers in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, head of Buscando Corazones Nogales, a group that works to locate missing people in Mexico, said they received a tip on Wednesday that a grave belonging to Savannah Guthrie’s mother may have been found, sparking a massive search effort south of the border.
The claim has not been confirmed, however, and authorities have not revealed whether there is any actual evidence that Nancy, 84, was taken to Mexico — or that the reported grave was connected to her disappearance.
The tip was reportedly investigated by volunteer searchers in Mexico, who have been combing remote areas as part of the ongoing effort to find the missing Arizona woman, Ayala Ortiz told El Imparcial.
Nancy, the mother of “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her Tucson-area home in February. Authorities have said they believe she was abducted after evidence of a struggle was found at the residence.
At the time, the Los Angeles Times reported that authorities found blood inside the home of Nancy, although it’s unclear whose it is.
Law enforcement sources also confirmed that there were signs of forced entry, further raising concerns that she was the victim of foul play.
During an initial press conference, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed they were doing a thorough search of the area. However, they had involved homicide detectives after finding a scene at the house that raised “some concern for us as well.”
Savannah has been holding it together — but that’s not to say there haven’t been tears. As Page Six previously revealed, she’s gotten emotional between commercial breaks, but has been able to quickly compose herself before cameras start rolling again.
“We will never stop looking for you,” Guthrie wrote in a Mother’s Day Instagram post. “We will never be at peace until we find you.”
An insider previously told us it’s “of course not ‘back to normal’ for Savannah,” nor does anyone “expect” it to be for a while.
“The grace and strength she shows each day, putting one foot in front of the other despite the pain, is truly inspirational,” the source added. “It’s incredibly difficult to grasp that there have been no new viable leads, and no significant evidence beyond the doorbell camera footage. How is that even possible?”
