The FBI has been in contact with the Mexican government and law enforcement in the country over the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, according to a new report.
CBS News detailed that the FBI has dedicated border liaison agents stationed along the border working with Mexican counterparts on these kinds of cases.
Authorities believe the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie was forcibly taken from her house in Tucson, Arizona on February 1. The city is located about 60 miles from the Nogales crossing in the southern border.
The outlet cited a source saying that the FBI suboffice most relevant to the case is in Hermosillo, Sonora, which shares the border with Arizona on the Mexican side. The State Department currently has a Level 3 travel advisory to the state, detailing risk of violence from terrorist groups and cartels, among others.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, however, has said that there is no indication that Guthrie was taken to Mexico. Sonora Attorney General Gustavo Romulo Salas Chavez echoed the claim, saying "we have no information to suggest that this person is in Mexican territory, specifically in Sonora."
Regardless, local organization Madres Buscadoras De Sonora said they have been contacted by the Guthrie family to help with the search. The group is known for seeking people who disappear in Mexico, usually at the hands of cartels and other criminal organizations.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing by her family on February 1 after she failed to appear for a morning church service and could not be reached. Authorities have described signs of forced entry at her Tucson home and noted that she requires daily medication for serious health conditions, raising concerns for her welfare. Local law enforcement has classified her as a vulnerable adult and said they suspect she was taken against her will.
