Volunteers in Mexico are trying to find Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing for greater than 100 days.
A gaggle that works to locate missing people in Mexico, called Buscando Corazones Nogales, told El Imparcial that an anonymous caller had alleged that Guthrie’s stays may very well be found near a stream in Mariposa, which is positioned west of Nogales and near the Arizona border.
Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, head of Buscando Corazones Nogales, told the publication that they received an anonymous call “telling us that the girl’s stays were within the Mariposa area in a grave over a stream, and this time we got here to explore this stream that we didn’t explore in the primary intervention.”
Ortiz said the group previously searched the world from April to May and discovered greater than 25 unmarked graves containing the stays of not less than 32 individuals in the world.
The top of Buscando Corazones Nogales said the seek for Guthrie got here up empty but they might proceed future search operations in the world to seek out Guthrie.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in an announcement Thursday, “We’re aware of reports regarding an anonymous tip related to the Nancy Guthrie investigation that was provided to a bunch in Mexico. Right now, we’ve not been contacted by Mexican authorities.”
“This investigation stays energetic and ongoing and we’ll proceed to follow up on any credible information,” the department added.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department also said Thursday that it made an arrest near Guthrie’s home.
“On June 11, 2026, just before 5:00 p.m., deputies with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) arrested 54-year-old Alexander Zabel Jr. in front of Nancy Guthrie’s home,” the department said in a media release.
“PCSD had received several complaints regarding Mr. Zabel’s behavior. On the time of the incident, Mr. Zabel was live streaming from outside the residence. Deputies made contact with him and, in the course of the arrest process, a PCSD sergeant was knocked to the bottom,” police added.
Zabel was taken into custody without further incident and booked into the Pima County Adult Detention Complex. He’s facing charges of resisting arrest and public nuisance, in response to police.
Authorities consider Nancy Guthrie was taken against her will after they found blood near the doorstep of her home within the foothills outside Tucson, Ariz., in February. The FBI later released surveillance videos showing a masked man on the porch that night.
Since their mother’s disappearance, Savannah and her siblings have shared multiple videos on social media and offered a US$1-million reward for information resulting in the recovery of their mother.
“Every hour and minute and second, and each long night, has been agony since then,” Savannah said in a video in February. “Worrying about her and fearing for her and aching for her. Most of all, just missing her.”
In April, Savannah returned to the Today show anchor desk, appearing for the primary time in greater than two months since her mother’s disappearance.
She was surrounded by viewers wearing yellow ribbons in honour of her missing 84-year-old mother and holding signs that read, “Welcome back, Savannah.”
Savannah stepped away from her Today show role in early February after her mother was reported missing.
The morning show host, who has been a Today host since 2012, read the morning’s biggest headlines and said, “We’re so glad that you just began our week with us and it’s good to be home.”
Her co-host, Craig Melvin, who was wearing a yellow tie, said, “It’s good to have you ever back at home.”
