Nancy Guthrie's disappearance took a stranger turn this week in southern Arizona and across the border in Mexico, as the Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed its latest response to an anonymous 'tip' claiming her body was buried near the Mexico–Arizona border and announced the arrest of a YouTube livestreamer outside her home in Tucson.
Nancy, 78, mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing from her home on 1 February. Her disappearance has drawn sustained national attention in the United States, not just because of her daughter's profile, but because investigators have yet to publicly identify a clear lead. The uncertainty has created fertile ground for speculation, online sleuthing and, increasingly, people physically turning up at the Guthrie property.
