Debra E Esarey, 66, went missing in Pima County on July 29, 2026, and was last seen at 6225 W. Ajo Way; she may have a medical condition affecting cognitive ability.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department issued a notice for Esarey, who is 5'5" and weighs 120 lbs, with blonde hair and hazel eyes.
Esarey's case comes six months after Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her Catania Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona on February 1.
Authorities have not linked the two cases, but netizens are worried about the pattern of missing women over 60, with some criticizing the PCSD's delay in announcing Esarey's disappearance.
The PCSD is actively searching for both women, with Nancy Guthrie's case involving ransom notes and a 'very active' search per Sheriff Nanos.
