\n

As the search continues for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie<\/a> in southern Arizona, authorities say there is no evidence she was taken across the U.S.\u2013Mexico border, even as experts note that federal border protocols automatically come into play in disappearances near the international boundary.<\/p>\n

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Fox News\u2019 Jonathan Hunt that investigators have found no indication Guthrie was<\/a> transported south of the border.<\/p>\n

“You know, I\u2019m sure the FBI<\/a> has looked into that as well, but no,” Nanos said. “We check all the leads we have\u2026 we\u2019re like everybody else. We know where Mexico is in relationship to this, and it\u2019s a possibility. But no, we have nothing to indicate that.”<\/p>\n

While the sheriff emphasized there is no evidence pointing to Mexico, retired FBI supervisory special agent Jason Pack says cross-border coordination<\/a> is not dependent on confirmed proof.<\/p>\n

“When any disappearance occurs near the international border, certain federal protocols activate almost automatically, regardless of whether there\u2019s confirmed evidence the victim crossed,” Pack told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

According to Pack, the FBI maintains dedicated Border Liaison Agents stationed along the southern border who work directly with Mexican law enforcement counterparts in real time.<\/p>\n

“That coordination happens at the working level, in real time, without waiting for a formal case to develop,” he explained.<\/p>\n

Those agents operate alongside the FBI\u2019s Legal Attach\u00e9 office in Mexico City, which serves as the bridge between FBI Headquarters, the U.S. Embassy, and Mexico\u2019s federal attorney general\u2019s office, he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“These are not reactive positions,” Pack said. “They exist precisely so that when something like this happens, the relationships and channels are already in place.”<\/p>\n

Pack stressed that Sheriff Nanos is being “accurate and responsible” in stating there is no indication Guthrie<\/a> was taken into Mexico. However, he added a key investigative distinction.<\/p>\n

“From an investigative standpoint, the absence of evidence is not the same as evidence of absence,” Pack said. “Border protocols don\u2019t require a confirmed lead. They require geographic proximity and a missing person. Both boxes are checked here.”<\/p>\n

If cross-border movement were ever to become a credible line of inquiry, Pack said the formal mechanism for cooperation would be a Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty request, known as an MLAT.<\/p>\n

“An MLAT allows U.S. authorities to formally request that Mexican authorities preserve evidence, conduct interviews, or share records,” he explained. That process runs through the Department of Justice\u2019s Office of International Affairs and can move quickly “when there\u2019s urgency and diplomatic goodwill \u2014 which currently exists between the two governments at the law enforcement level.”<\/p>\n

For now, authorities say there is no evidence Guthrie crossed into Mexico. Pack noted that established border coordination protocols are designed for cases occurring near the international boundary.<\/p>\n

The search continues<\/a> as investigators follow every available lead.<\/p>\n
