This woman is Passion Schurz

According to Fox 10, the woman is Passion Schurz. Schlutz, 28, was last seen alive on March 19 at her home. Officials are currently investigating the circumstances of her death.

According to investigators, Schultz was first identified by her tattoos, physical features and clothing. However, there were no signs of violence, such as broken bones, stab wounds or gunshot wounds.

Fox 10 reported that she left the house without her handbag and wallet, which she never did. “She left without her purse and wallet, but she never did. So the circumstances of her disappearance are very concerning,” said Leila Woodard of the Missing America Network.

Woodard also said Schultz was “loved by her family and community” and that she was a mother.

Salt River police are investigating her disappearance and Scottsdale police are investigating her death.

Search for Nancy Guthrie reaches two-month mark, Scottsdale Canal case nearing end

The discovery of a woman’s body in a Scottsdale canal initially sparked concerns it might be linked to Guthrie’s case, which has dominated headlines in recent weeks.

The Scottsdale Police Department shared a press release on X filled with questions about Nancy Guthrie and speculation that the body was that of Guthrie.

In response to a comment, the department clarified that Nancy Guthrie’s case was handled by Pima County, about 115 miles away, and was “unrelated” to Guthrie’s case.

The search for Nancy Guthrie continues as investigators continue to search for clues in Arizona’s high-profile missing persons case.

Authorities have not released significant new details about her whereabouts but said efforts remain active.
