HUMAN REMAINS FOUND JUST 15 MILES AWAY — BUT NANCY GUTHRIE IS STILL MISSING
HUMAN REMAINS FOUND JUST 15 MILES AWAY — BUT NANCY GUTHRIE IS STILL MISSING
A discovery in the Arizona desert briefly raised a chilling possibility in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
Human remains were found near West Ajo Way and South La Cholla Boulevard, approximately 15 miles from Nancy’s Tucson-area home.
But investigators say the discovery has not provided the breakthrough Nancy’s family has been waiting for.

POLICE SAY THE CASES ARE NOT CONNECTED
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said there is currently no indication the remains are connected to Nancy’s disappearance.
Authorities also said the remains appeared to have been at the location for an extended period.
That means investigators are treating the discovery as a separate matter while continuing to pursue leads in Nancy’s case.
NANCY’S DISAPPEARANCE REMAINS UNSOLVED
Nancy, 84, was last seen on January 31 and reported missing the following day.
Investigators have continued examining evidence from her home and recently released the contents of two ransom notes, hoping the unusual wording could help identify whoever may have written them.
Yet months into the investigation, Nancy’s whereabouts remain unknown.
No confirmed recovery.
No publicly identified suspect.
And no explanation for what happened after she disappeared.

ANOTHER DISCOVERY. ANOTHER QUESTION.
The human remains may eventually help authorities solve a different case.
But for Nancy’s family, the painful question remains exactly the same:
WHERE IS NANCY GUTHRIE?
The desert discovery may have attracted immediate attention because of its proximity to Nancy’s home.
But authorities are urging the public not to confuse proximity with evidence.
For now, investigators say there is no known connection.
And Nancy’s family is still waiting for the one piece of information that could finally bring her home.
The search continues.
Authorities have not publicly identified the remains. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says there is currently no indication they are connected to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
