TMZ ‘tipped’ Nancy Guthrie is dead after being seen in Mexico

April 7, 2026

Someone claiming to know Nancy Guthrie is dead, but was last seen alive in Mexico, is offering to deliver her kidnappers “on a silver platter.”

A tipster looking to collect a Bitcoin told TMZ the missing woman was spotted with a suspect or suspects identified as “them” in the Mexican state of Sonora. TMZ said it receive a pair of notes Monday offering to lead searchers to “an exact location” if that cryptocurrency demand equal to nearly $70,000 is met.

The person making that offer is said to be the same individual who contacted TMZ about being able to identify Guthrie’s abductors on other occasions since she was reported missing on Feb. 1.

Sonora is on the Mexican border roughly 60 miles south of Guthrie’s Tucson, Ariz., home. That’s where the 84-year-old mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie was believed to have been abducted overnight after having dinner with her other daughter.

The tipster reaching out to TMZ reportedly expressed frustration their efforts to offer information since Feb. 11 don’t appear to be seen as credible. That person — who claims to have nothing to do with Guthrie’s disappearance — also indicated they left the U.S. around 2021.

“I just want what’s fair and to live peacefully with enough to start my life again quietly with out [sic] having to join a witness protection program,” one of the sender’s letters claim.

Savannah returned to hosting “Today” on Monday for the first time since her mother was reported missing. She and her siblings are offering a $1 million reward for information leading to their mom’s rescue or “recovery.”

The FBI is also offering $100,000 for information leading to Guthrie’s location or the conviction of anyone involved in the apparent crime.

Authorities have released little evidence explaining her disappearance outside of images of an armed and masked man outside her home taken by a doorbell camera hours before Guthrie’s assumed abduction. In an email to the Daily News, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said it was “aware of reports circulating about a possible ransom note(s) related to the investigation into Nancy Guthrie” and was taking all tips seriously. They referred inquiries about the ransom notes to the FBI, which couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.

TMZ said Bitcoin hasn’t been deposited into the account the person contacting them established in February. The tabloid media outlet cites that claim as evidence investigators may not believe the information to be legitimate. TMZ’s tipster said in February they don’t trust law enforcement.
