Nancy Guthrie's Case Takes New Turn: Discovery of Woman's Body Along Phoenix Canal Linked to 84-Year-Old? — What We Know
Authorities confirmed the body found near Phoenix's Grand Canal Trail is a separate case from Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, which remains under active investigation with over 300 personnel involved.
- On March 6, 2026, Phoenix police found an unresponsive woman along the Grand Canal Trail near 27th Place, and responding Phoenix officers pronounced her dead; by Sunday, she was identified as 42-year-old Alex Fleming.
- Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson-area home on February 1, 2026, and the Pima County Sheriff's Department said the canal site lies more than 100 miles from her home with no advised overlap between investigations.
- Investigators say forensic work found blood outside the home sent for testing, neighbors reported security glitches, and a masked individual removed a doorbell camera at 1:47 a.m., while her pacemaker stopped syncing around 2:28 a.m.
- Sheriff Chris Nanos said roughly 300 to 400 personnel remain assigned, the FBI has joined, and forensic analysis could take up to a year.
- With a $1 million reward offered, Savannah Guthrie and her family have repeatedly appealed for public help during recent weeks amid statewide attention, as the canal discovery added uncertainty.
