On Friday, the Mexican government confirmed that there are no leads or evidence to suggest that Nancy Guthrie, the mother of American news anchor Savannah Guthrie, is in Mexico after her kidnapping. Omar García Harfuch, the head of the Federal Secretariat of Security, stated that despite some media reports claiming potential leads in Sonora, there is no investigation underway regarding these claims. He emphasized that the FBI has directly corroborated that there are no indications leading to Sonora or a collaboration with Mexican authorities on this matter.

García Harfuch's remarks came during a morning press conference where he clarified the status of the investigation into Guthrie’s disappearance, which has now lasted almost 20 days without any significant updates from authorities. He reiterated that there are no investigatory teams from the U.S. working in Mexico related to this case, and he dismissed any rumors linking the kidnapping to locations within Mexico.

The case of Nancy Guthrie has attracted considerable attention due to her familial connection to a high-profile news personality in the United States. The lack of evidence suggesting her presence in Mexico brings some relief, but it also underscores the challenges that law enforcement agencies face in kidnapping cases that cross international borders. With ongoing concerns about safety and security, particularly related to cross-border criminal activity, the situation remains a critical focus for both Mexican and U.S. authorities.
