Summary
Pima County authorities said Coral Michelle Smith, 40, is not linked to the Feb. 1 disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, despite Smith being wanted in a separate Tucson-area kidnapping and assault case.
Smith remains at large over a May 29 attack near La Cholla Boulevard and River Road, about 6.8 miles from Guthrie's home, and deputies told the public not to approach her and to call 911 instead.
Court records show Smith has faced prior kidnapping, assault and disorderly conduct allegations; a 2020 kidnapping charge was dismissed, but she was convicted of residential robbery in the same case.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, still has no publicly identified suspect in her suspected abduction, though investigators have described a man seen on her porch as about 5-foot-9 to 5-foot-10.
The Guthrie search now carries more than $1.2 million in combined rewards, including a $1 million family offer, while tips on Smith can bring a separate $1,000 reward.
