SHOCKING NEWS: The Body of a Woman Believed to Be Nancy Guthrie Found Near Phoenix Canal — Disturbing Detail Leaves Investigators with More Questions Than Answers
Authorities are investigating a disturbing discovery after a woman’s body, believed to be that of Nancy Guthrie, was found early this morning near the Phoenix Canal. The discovery has sent shockwaves through the community and intensified the ongoing mystery surrounding her disappearance.
According to preliminary reports from local law enforcement, a passerby spotted what appeared to be a body partially concealed near the edge of the canal shortly after sunrise. Emergency responders arrived at the scene within minutes and confirmed that the victim was an adult woman.
However, when investigators carefully turned the body over, they were confronted with a chilling detail: the woman’s entire face appeared severely damaged and almost unrecognizable. Officials have not yet confirmed whether the injuries occurred before or after death, but the condition of the face has made immediate identification extremely difficult.
Sources close to the investigation say the body was found wearing clothing similar to what Nancy Guthrie was last reported wearing before she disappeared. This has led authorities to suspect that the victim could indeed be her, though forensic testing and dental record comparisons are still underway to confirm the identity.
Detectives are treating the case with extreme caution. One investigator at the scene reportedly described the discovery as “deeply suspicious,” noting that the damage to the face could suggest an attempt to prevent identification.
“The circumstances surrounding this discovery raise serious concerns,” a police spokesperson said. “We are working to determine who this victim is and what exactly happened near the canal.”
Crime scene technicians spent several hours collecting evidence from the surrounding area, including footprints, discarded items, and possible surveillance footage from nearby roads and businesses. Divers were also seen searching parts of the canal in case additional evidence had been thrown into the water.
Meanwhile, Nancy Guthrie’s family has been notified about the discovery but authorities have emphasized that the identity of the victim has not yet been officially confirmed.
Investigators are now waiting for the results of an autopsy and DNA analysis, which could provide crucial answers in the coming days.
Trump Warns Iran of ‘Total Obliteration’ if They Try To Harm Him HH
President Donald Trump warned Iran that continued assassination threats made by leaders in Tehran would be met with the country getting “blown up” and “total obliteration.”
“Well, they shouldn’t be doing it but I’ve left notification,” Trump said. “Anything ever happens, we’re going to blow the whole — the whole country’s going to get blown up.”

Biden-era Intelligence officials briefed Trump about the alleged threats against him during his presidential campaign in 2024. Former Attorney General Merrick Garland said the plot was retaliation for the killing of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani by the U.S. in 2020, during Trump’s first administration.
Despite being briefed by his administration, Trump on Tuesday said President Biden “should have said something” on the matter, adding that presidents should defend each other on such matters.
“But I have very firm instructions,” Trump continued. “Anything happens, they’re going to wipe them off the face of this earth.”

Trump also spoke about the ongoing negotiations between the United States and Iran in Geneva.
“What are you expecting from these Iran talks in Geneva?” a reporter asked Trump aboard Air Force One.

“So, I’ll be involved in those talks indirectly, and they’ll be very important. We’ll see what can happen. Typically, Iran’s a very tough negotiator; they’re good negotiators — or bad negotiators. I would say they’re bad negotiators because we could have had a deal instead of sending the B2s to knock out their nuclear potential. We had to send the B2s. I hope they’re going to be more reasonable. They want to make a deal,” Trump said.
“Have you been told that a deal is next to impossible?” the reporter followed up.
Trump replied, “No. I think they want to make a deal. I don’t think they want the consequences of not making a deal. They want to make a deal.”
WATCH:
Trump previously said that he instructed officials to destroy Iran if they killed him.
The president said this after signing an executive order right after taking office that gave him all the tools he needed to talk to Iran’s government and put as much pressure on Tehran as possible.
“They haven’t done that and that would be a terrible thing for them to do,” Trump said at the time. “Not because of me — if they did that, they would be obliterated. That would be the end. I’ve left instructions, if they do it, they get obliterated, there won’t be anything left. And, they shouldn’t be able to do it.”
Trump warned last week that the United States could send additional warships toward Iran if ongoing diplomatic negotiations fail to produce a deal, signaling that military pressure could increase as talks over Tehran’s nuclear program stall.
In remarks to Axios, Trump said the administration is considering deploying a second aircraft carrier strike group to the region in addition to the USS Abraham Lincoln and 9 additional warships already positioned near Iran, though he expressed hope that a diplomatic agreement can still be reached.
“Either we will make a deal or we will have to do something very tough like last time,” the president told Axios on Tuesday, a reference to the bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites in June.
“Last time they didn’t believe I would do it. They overplayed their hand,” Trump added. “We have an armada that is heading there and another one might be going.”
The president emphasized that the United States is seeking to persuade Iran to curb its nuclear ambitions, halt the development of its ballistic missile program, and end support for militant proxy groups. Iranian officials have so far resisted expanding negotiations beyond nuclear-related issues.
He described the nuclear issue as a “matter of course” part of any negotiation, but also insisted that an agreement with Iran must also address Tehran’s ballistic missile stockpiles, per Axios.
Trump said the US “can make a great deal with Iran,” and Tehran “very much wants to make a deal.”
Trump’s comments came ahead of a planned visit to Washington, D.C. by Benjamin Netanyahu, who is expected to press for a tougher U.S. stance and broader terms for any Iran deal that would include constraints on Tehran’s missile capabilities and regional activities.
Before heading to DC, the Israeli leader previewed some of what he and Trump were going to discuss.
“I will present to the president our understanding of the principles of the negotiations (with Iran) – the essential principles that are important not only to Israel – but to everyone who wants peace and security in the Middle East,” Netanyahu told reporters, per the New York Post.
The administration has already bolstered its military presence in the Middle East, with multiple warships and aircraft deployed as a means of deterrence and leverage.
