Unidentified Missing Elderly Woman Near Nancy Guthrie's Home. Need Help

[tricia]

Hey Websleuths Members.
Someone posted an audio dispatch about a missing elderly woman near Nancy Guthrie's house.
There is a post under the audio that says this is based on a missing person's report.
Can someone listen to this and see if they can find that report? Below is the link to the member's post with the information. Don't click on the link in the post. Click on the title to take you to the actual post with more information.
This is just strange.

OK, I'm just gonna put this out there. I think the flatbed truck is the distraction. Almost an hour ago this notification was sent out to LE https://www.uscrimeradar.com/m/2283...&_f=app_share&send_time=1770235314&gen_by=ios

I posted pictures for reference. Forgive me if this is not allowed on this thread but I wanted to put it out there. Now there may just be another 80-year-old woman Missing from the same county. IMO I think this is quite a coincidence.

Just a heads-up. That site/app is AI.

AI app causes distress across US with false crime alerts

An AI-powered app called CrimeRadar has apologised for the distress caused by false crime alerts issued to local US communities after a BBC Verify investigation.

No further info about this on the local scanner FB page.

I can find no other links supporting a second missing elderly woman in Nancy's area.

i reckon it's a hoax created to cause distress/distraction by someone with too much time on their hands and too little between their ears!

Thank you both.

I looked at the local (official) police report sites and most of the ones I saw only went to Jan 31. It might be that these are retrospective lists that only get published at certain times of the month (which seems unhelpful given what they're about!)

I will say, though, having familiarity with the area: this is peak snowbird season in Tucson. Most of them are retired and older, and that's a population that in my experience has this sort of situation happen more often than most. Plus, the gem show is in full swing this week, bringing even more visitors than usual who may be unfamiliar with the area. I wouldn't be at all surprised if someone was lost, then found.

The one thing I do find odd is the raincoat. It hasn't rained in Tucson for a couple of weeks. It's chilly at night, but the highs lately are 75-80 degrees - definitely not coat weather. This individual might have some other things going on as well, which could increase their chances of wandering away. I'm inclined to think it's unrelated.

JMO and speculation!

Yesterday on FB there was another hoax, about an arson of the house close to NG's. I think it may be the same person who posted about "arson"?

Pre-planned?

Hi Tricia, I'm from the podcast but I signed up as a guardian.. Cammy Day -- I just wanted to say hello and look around and see if I can figure this out. I'm so dumb when it comes to all this online stuff. Looking forward to being here.
