A YouTuber who conducted a private search for missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie found human bones near the site.
Analysis of prehistoric bones from Tucson revealed that they were more than 1,000 years old. Additionally, authorities discovered they had no connection to her disappearance.
The skeleton was found less than five miles from Guthrie’s home in the Catalina Foothills on May 7. The discovery initially shocked family members and volunteers searching for the mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, who has been missing since early February.
It was soon determined that there was no link between this case and Guthrie’s possible kidnapping. Watson noted that the Sonoran Desert’s difficult terrain and periodic flooding often revealed ancient cemeteries.
The search for Guthrie continues, with a total reward of more than $1.2 million available for anyone who helps locate her.
On Mother’s Day, Savannah Guthrie posted a tribute to her missing mother, writing, “We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you.”
