Needless to say, these claims have sparked a buzz online among those tracking the octogenarian's disappearance.
It has been six months since, and no suspects have been announced to the public by the Pima County Sheriff's Department, who are lead on the case, or the FBI, who are assisting. Nancy Guthrie has not been located either in this time.
Zabel Jr's claims come even as a private investigator, Bill Garcia, claimed he had found a death certificate issued for Nancy Guthrie.
Bill Garcia has been a private investigator for over 35 years and is best known in Southern California for solving many difficult missing persons’ cases as per KTLA 5 News. He was speaking on the ThornBridge X Unfiltered show, when he made the claims about Nancy Guthrie's death certificate.
During the interview, Garcia said “when I was doing one of these vetted searches yesterday, I pulled up uh Nancy…we have access to a lot more information than anybody in the general public. And what I noticed in her comprehensive report, there's a box and it listed Nancy Guthrie as deceased.”
He added that he found it ‘interesting’ because one would need a death certificate for that. “And so this particular box said Nancy had expired. She had died. Her date of death was listed as February 1, 2026,” Garcia further said.
The PI noted that this was the same day that Nancy Guthrie was reported missing. “So, my thought is, okay, are we not being told that she's been found and they're continuing their investigations? Could that be why law enforcement is not on the ground searching?,” he further asked. However, Garcia did not make any assumptions about the death certificate. “I will be reaching out to the company who provided this information and I'm going to question them. I'm also going to contact the agency where this should have been filed,” Garcia noted.
