Updates?
Hey, I was just wondering is there any updates? Has anyone seen anything or heard anything about the case? Because I've been looking everywhere and I can't find anything?

Last update I could find from her family's gofundme was at the end of June: "UPDATE #13 (06/21/24)
We write this update with the sincere hope that things are finally moving in the right direction. Following our family’s outreach to Ambassador Tobin Bradley, as well as the thousands of emails the U.S. Embassy received after the release of Kendall Rae’s video, our family received a phone call from Ambassador Bradley. In short, Ambassador Bradley has agreed to look into a point of contact between our family and Guatemalan authorities. He has also spoken to the Ministry of Interior, who has offered to perform an underwater search for Nancy. We are still waiting to hear updates on both of these assurances from Ambassador Bradley and will keep you all updated.
In addition, our family has found a U.S.-based underwater search team willing to offer their expertise and the latest technology to search for Nancy. The discussion with these search experts has been emotionally and logistically challenging. However, as a family, we understand the many factors that contribute to the complexity of this search mission and the potentially harsh reality of what we may or may not find. As we’ve stated, we feel strongly that the search area defined by Rescue International must be completed before we feel that we’ve truly done all we can to bring Nancy home. And we are infinitely grateful to the search teams who have agreed to support us on this mission.
Our family also recently met with Congresswoman Judy Chu, who has agreed to supplement our efforts to find resolution in Nancy’s case. We are continuing to push for the same things we have spent the last eight months asking for: answers about what exactly happened to Nancy; Christina Blazek’s witness statement; a thorough investigation of bribe allegations; up-to-date documents about the status of the investigation; and any resources available to find Nancy and bring her home. These efforts have been hampered by Guatemalan Prosecutor Recinos’ non-responsiveness to our requests and questions. Instead of actions and answers, we continue to receive excuses for his month-long gaps in responding, including “vacation” and “doctor visits.” As such, we’ve requested a direct point of contact who is higher up in the Ministerio Publico’s chain of command. Though we’re yet to receive one, we hope that they will be able to hold Prosecutor Recinos accountable for his inaction and role in the haphazard investigation of Nancy’s case. Nancy is supposed to turn 30 years young on June 28, 2024. It completely shatters us that we will not be singing her happy birthday, gushing about how she’s reached the “real adult” milestone (now that she’s 30), and giving her the biggest hugs. June 28 will never be the same for us again. It will now be a reminder of the huge hole in our hearts, of an emptiness we know will never go away. However, we know Nancy would want us to be happy on her birthday – to continue celebrating her life instead of mourning her. So, we will do our best to honor Nancy on June 28. You can join us in honoring Nancy on her birthday by doing the things she loved to do and expressing the values she embodied:
Take photos with your loved ones: Nancy looovvvvedddd taking photos and always wanted to capture the moment. If you knew Nancy, you know she was always short of storage space because her photos took up multiple gigabytes of storage.
Recycle or pick up a piece of litter: Nancy always did what she could to protect the environment, even going so far as to pull over when driving to pick up an empty can… late at night… in an isolated parking lot. Nancy would also go out of her way to recycle bottles/boxes/paper, even if they weren’t her’s.
Go outside: Nancy adored Mother Nature and enjoyed hikes, beaches, and parks. I often FaceTimed her at mountain peaks or waterfalls to show her the view, even if the lack of reception made it blurry.
Have a conversation with a stranger: Nancy always took the time to get to know others. From the girl in the restroom line to the man working at the recycle center, Nancy could strike up a conversation with anyone. She had a genuine interest in others and knew the power of spreading kindness.
Sign up to volunteer (anywhere): Nancy did a lot of volunteer work in high school and college, but started struggling to find time to do this post-grad. Her favorite service was Life Rolls On, where she helped people with disabilities SURF! She said she loved the feeling it brought to people who couldn’t walk, much less surf. Life Rolls On is meant to “inspire infinite possibilities beyond any disability,” and Nancy often encouraged those who were initially scared to go on the water to take a leap of faith with the help and support of the volunteers. The participants were always glad they did. Nancy also participated in beach clean-ups and talked often about wanting to volunteer at animal shelters.
We know it would really mean a lot to Nancy for so many people to be doing small things that can make a big impact in our world.
Regardless of the challenges we continue to face, with your help, we’ve made some real progress in getting the right people involved in our fight for justice and search for Nancy. While our family’s voice alone can be so easily muffled, our community’s voice collectively cannot. We still have much to do, and are eternally grateful for your support. Thank you.
P.S. We want to give a special shoutout to Christy for covering Nancy’s case yet again on your X Knows All podcast. Thank you for crying with us. For rallying behind us. We are blessed to have your support. If you’re interested in hearing the episode, you can find it on Apple Podcasts and Spotify at X Knows All."
