Investigators are intensifying the search for Nancy Guthrie as her disappearance enters a third week. Authorities are reviewing tens of thousands of leads while exploring possible cross-border angles.
Investigators probe cross-border leads
Arizona law enforcement and the FBI have reportedly contacted Mexican authorities in neighbouring Sonora to share information, although officials have not publicly confirmed this. Sources say investigators have no evidence Guthrie crossed the border, but they continue routine coordination in cases near Mexico.
The family has also asked the Searching Mothers of Sonora, a non-profit group, to help locate her. Officials have not linked the case to organised crime.
Leads, evidence, and ransom claims
Investigators have examined about 40,000 tips since her disappearance. Media outlets report a ransom message demanding cryptocurrency was sent to a news organisation and forwarded to federal authorities, though officials have not verified its authenticity.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona, home on 31 January. Investigators believe someone abducted her in the early hours of 1 February. Relatives have been ruled out as suspects.
Active search measures
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said DNA from a glove found near the home did not match any profiles in FBI databases, despite its similarity to gloves worn by a masked individual captured on surveillance footage.
Authorities are using technology that detects Bluetooth signals from her pacemaker, including aerial searches with signal-tracking equipment. They are investigating whether more than one person was involved.
Officials continue searching and following leads, determined to locate Savannah Guthrie mother despite the challenges posed by cross-border possibilities and limited evidence.
