SAVANNAH, GA – The family of Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for nearly two months, has released a statement imploring the public to continue remembering her name and details of her disappearance for a little while longer. The plea comes as local news cycles reportedly begin to pivot towards a particularly aggressive squirrel terrorizing the downtown area.

“We understand that there’s a lot going on in the world, and attention spans are, shall we say, fluid,” stated a family spokesperson, Brenda Albright, in a press conference that briefly interrupted a live report on the aforementioned squirrel. “But we’re just asking for another week, maybe two, of sustained public thought. Just enough to keep her face on the local evening news before the annual ‘Best Fall Foliage’ segment takes over.”

Albright noted that the family has already seen a dip in social media engagement, with hashtags related to Nancy’s case now competing with a viral video of a cat playing the piano. “We’re not asking for round-the-clock obsession,” Albright clarified, “just a consistent, low-level hum of concern. Perhaps a brief thought during a commercial break, or a quick mention during Sunday brunch. Anything to prevent her from becoming ‘that one missing person from a while ago.’”

Police officials confirmed they are still actively investigating the case, though one detective, speaking anonymously, admitted, “It’s tough when the public moves on to the next shiny object. We’re competing with pumpkin spice lattes and the urgent need to decide on a Halloween costume.”

The family hopes that by publicly acknowledging the fleeting nature of public attention, they can somehow trick the collective consciousness into retaining interest just a little bit longer.
