Nancy Guthrie Missing Persons Case Reopens After Decade-Long Investigation Yields New Evidence
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – 25 March 2025, 10:00 AM EDT – The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed the reopening of the cold case involving Nancy Guthrie, a 34-year-old woman who was last seen on March 12, 2015, after investigators received a new tip. Guthrie’s disappearance from her residence in the Broad Ripple neighborhood has remained unsolved for ten years. According to a press release issued earlier this morning, the tip, which was submitted through a statewide anonymous hotline on March 20, led authorities to a previously unsearched area near the White River. Officials report that a search team recovered items, including a fragment of a personal identification card and a piece of fabric believed to be consistent with Guthrie’s known clothing. Forensic analysis is now underway at the state crime lab. Meanwhile, the department is urging anyone with additional information to come forward. Why the case stalled after initial leads proved unfruitful remains under review, with detectives citing the need for witness cooperation. This development follows a renewed public awareness campaign led by Guthrie’s family, who have maintained a digital presence seeking justice. The investigation is ongoing.
