A major new search is underway after a tip was received claiming to pinpoint where Nancy Guthrie's grave is.
As previously reported, Nancy Guthrie - mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie - was last seen on the night of January 31 at her home in Tucson, Arizona.
In the early hours of the morning, a masked figure was captured on the 84-year-old's home security cameras approaching her door, before Nancy was allegedly abducted from her home.
Blood believed to belong to Nancy was found on the front steps of the property in the wake of her disappearance.
Despite search efforts, no trace has yet been found of where Nancy was taken, and it is not known if she is still alive.
After her disappearance, Savannah and her family issued an urgent appeal, revealing that their mother requires daily medication.
Several ransom demands were issued after the case went public, however, police struggled to verify if any of the were credible.
As of the time of writing, Nancy remains missing, with no further details on her whereabouts or whether she is alive.
A new search has been launched this week after a group that works to locate missing people in Mexico revealed that they'd received an anonymous tip that Nancy's body was buried around the border in an unmarked grave.
Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, head of Buscando Corazones Nogales, told the New York Post that the anonymous tip was received on Wednesday.
Nancy had lived in Tucson, which is over 70 miles north of the border city of Nogales.
The group had carried out an initial investigation of the area the anonymous source had suggested - where they'd previously found 25 unmarked graves - but Ayala Ortiz told El Imparcial that they have not found Nancy.
The group is continuing to search the area for Nancy or the remains of any other missing persons.
Mariposa, the area being searched, is located northwest of Nogales, and the group are venturing further than where they'd previously found the 25 unmarked graves.
Ayala Ortiz told the outlet: "We received an anonymous call telling us that the woman’s [Guthrie’s] remains were in the Mariposa area — in a grave over a stream."
The search was conducted with the help of the Sonora State Commission for the Search of Missing Person, with municipal and state officials providing security forces to protect the safety of the workers and volunteers.
Currently, no arrests have been made and there are no further leads in the disappearance. The Guthrie family continues to hold out hope that the people responsible for their mother's disappearance will face justice, and that Nancy will be found.
