A Tucson woman, Coral Michelle Smith, is currently evading authorities as she is wanted for her alleged involvement in a violent incident that occurred near River Road. This case has drawn attention, especially given its proximity to the ongoing investigation into the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, but officials have confirmed there is no connection between the two cases.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has issued a public appeal for information on Smith, 40, who is linked to a disturbing event that took place on May 29. Reports indicate that this incident involved an assault with a deadly weapon near La Cholla Boulevard, and the authorities are urging anyone who spots her to call 911 immediately, cautioning against any attempts to confront her.
Smith’s past is marked by legal troubles, including previous charges of kidnapping and assault. Although a kidnapping charge from 2020 was dismissed, she was convicted of residential robbery in the same case, which involved a victim under the age of 15. With multiple prison sentences under her belt, she is known to use several aliases, such as “Corral Albright” and “Under the Sea Smith.”
Described as approximately 5 feet, 6 inches tall and weighing around 136 pounds, Smith has distinctive tattoos, including a smiley face and heart on her right ankle, a rose with flames on her right foot, and the phrase “love, life family” on her left leg. She has blonde hair and blue eyes, making her recognizable to those who might encounter her.
As the search for Smith continues, authorities are offering a $1,000 reward for any information that leads to her capture. Meanwhile, the Guthrie family remains focused on finding Nancy, who disappeared on February 1. No suspects have been publicly named in her case, but investigators have released a description of a man seen on surveillance footage at her home.
As the community grapples with these unsettling developments, one question lingers: what will it take to bring these cases to a resolution?
