1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 8

Summary

  • Pima County deputies issued a weekend be-on-the-lookout alert for Coral Michelle Smith, 40, wanted in a May 29 kidnapping and aggravated-assault-with-a-deadly-weapon case near River Road and La Cholla Boulevard in Tucson.
  • The location is about 6.8 miles from the Catalina Foothills home of Nancy Guthrie, 84, who authorities believe was abducted on Feb. 1, but investigators said they have not identified any connection between the two cases.
  • Smith is described as 5-foot-6, about 136 pounds, with blonde hair, blue eyes, multiple tattoos and several aliases; authorities are offering a $1,000 reward for information leading to her arrest.
  • Court records show prior accusations including kidnapping, assault and disorderly conduct; a 2020 kidnapping charge was dismissed, but she was convicted of residential robbery in the same case.
  • Nancy Guthrie's disappearance remains unsolved, with no public suspect named; investigators have only described a 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10 person seen on her doorbell camera wearing a black 25-liter backpack.
