Mexican officials have issued an urgent plea to the Guthrie family for a DNA sample as volunteer searchers receive a new anonymous tip pointing to two new sites near Nograles, Sonora, a region where 25 unmarked graves were previously discovered near the Arizona border. The Sonora State Attorney General's Office formally requested the family's DNA to verify whether any remains match 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, whose abduction from her Tucson, Arizona home has gone unsolved for nearly five months.
The new clue was an anonymous tip pointing to a specific location approximately 70 miles from Guthrie's residence, prompting the Buscando Corazones Nogales search collective to concentrate efforts on two new sites near Nogales, Sonora. Retired FBI agent Steve Moore and ex-SWAT commander Bob Krieger said the remote Native American reservation could be a crucial route out of Arizona. Krieger noted: 'If I were a betting man and someone said they absolutely went into Mexico, I'd say they probably went through the reservation at some point.'
