The family of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman who disappeared from Tucson seven weeks ago, issued a public statement Saturday expressing gratitude to the community while requesting continued assistance in locating her.

Guthrie's three children released the statement through local television station KVOA, thanking Tucson residents for their support during the search efforts. The family indicated they believe someone in the Arizona community may have information relevant to the case.

Authorities are treating Guthrie's disappearance as a suspected abduction, though specific details about the circumstances of her disappearance have not been publicly disclosed. The case has been ongoing for approximately seven weeks.

The family's statement represents part of ongoing efforts to maintain public attention on the case and encourage anyone with information to come forward to assist law enforcement in their investigation.
