A massive search has erupted in Mexico after a local organization received an anonymous tip claiming Nancy Guthrie was buried in an unmarked grave.

The Search for Nancy Guthrie Intensified
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1.
Ramona Guadalupe Ayala Ortiz, the group's leader, told local news outlet El Imparcial that the group investigated the area and uncovered 25 unmarked graves, but Nancy was not among the remains discovered.
"We began exploring this area and found the first four bodies; however, we saw signs that led us to believe there were more people buried there, so we shared information with another group in the city, who recently reported the discovery of several positive cases," he told the outlet.
Ramona told the outlet the searches would continue in hopes of finding the remains of other missing persons.

Nancy Guthrie's Case Is 'Difficult,' Says Sheriff
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos called Nancy Guthrie's disappearance a 'sensitive case.'
In a more recent update on June 1, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos called Nancy's case "difficult" and revealed why the investigation has stretched on for several months.
"This is a sensitive case, but what really makes it prolonged is [that] we do rely on labs," he said in an interview with Tucson's KOLD News 13. "You don’t want to jeopardize, not just the integrity of this case, but the integrity of DNA as a supplement to law enforcement work."
"Nobody wants to arrest the wrong person," he continued, adding complex cases like Nancy's "move at a snail's pace."
