A woman was found dead along a canal in Phoenix — prompting speculation over a possible connection to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.

The remains were found Friday, more than 100 miles from Tucson, from where the 84-year-old matriarch went missing on Feb. 1.

“Details on the call indicated that an adult female was on the nearby canal bank and was unresponsive,” the police said in a statement. “When officers arrived, they located the woman, who was ultimately pronounced deceased on scene.”

A woman was found dead alongside a canal in Phoenix, Arizona â but authorities in Pima County, Arizona, said they havenât received any word that the case is related to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.

Phoenix police have yet to release any identifying information about the woman they found, but the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement to Fox News Digital that they have not been alerted that there’s any connection to the Guthrie case.

The slow pace of the investigation has frustrated Guthrie’s loved ones — including her daughter, “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, who has offered a $1 million cash reward for information leading to her safe return or recovery.

Security footage recovered from Nancy’s doorbell camera captured a masked man — possibly two different men — loitering on her doorstep the night before police believe she was kidnapped.

A large amount of evidence recovered from the home, including traces of blood, is still being investigated. However, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos warned it could take up to “a year” to analyze it all, particularly the evidence containing DNA.

The PCSD told The Post that the investigation remains very active with some 300-400 personnel still assigned to the case, the same as when the case was first opened.
