The sheriff’s department overseeing the investigation into the suspected abduction of Nancy Guthrie has issued an alert warning of another kidnapping suspect wanted in a separate incident less than 10 miles from her home in Tucson.
Coral Michelle Smith, 40, is the suspect wanted in connection with a kidnapping and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon investigation, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a “be on the lookout” message over the weekend.
It happened on May 29 at the intersection of River Road and La Cholla Boulevard — about 6.8 miles from Guthrie’s home in the Catalina Foothills. The sheriff’s department declined to release additional details about the incident.

Authorities have not indicated any connection between Smith and Guthrie’s disappearance.

Guthrie is the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, who discussed the case with colleague Jenna Bush Hager Monday.
“It’s really hard to come back,” she said. She had taken just over two months off from the show during the early stages of the investigation and returned to air in April.
While deputies detained multiple people earlier in the investigation, they were released without charges.
