Toronto, Canada - March 26th, 2026 - The disappearance of Alice Guthrie, abducted from her home in rural Scotland on March 26th, 2024, remains a haunting case that continues to capture international attention. Today marks the two-year anniversary of her disappearance, and the Guthrie family, based now in Toronto, Canada, issued a renewed plea for information, alongside an update on the ongoing, multinational search efforts.

The initial abduction sent shockwaves through Scotland and garnered significant media coverage. At the time, authorities described the case as complex, with no immediate apparent motive or suspect. Despite an intensive investigation in the immediate aftermath, leads quickly dried up, and the trail went cold. The family, unable to bear the constant reminders and lack of progress in Scotland, relocated to Toronto six months ago to be closer to extended family and to establish a new base for coordinating the search.

"These past two years have been an unimaginable ordeal," stated James Guthrie, Alice's father, in a press conference held earlier today. "We've moved continents, worked with private investigators across Europe and North America, and tirelessly pursued every single lead, no matter how small. We refuse to give up hope of bringing Alice home."

The Guthrie family has been working closely with a specialized team of former law enforcement and intelligence operatives, funded by private donations and a crowdfunding campaign that continues to receive support. This team, led by ex-Interpol agent Isabelle Moreau, is currently focusing on a theory that Alice may have been trafficked internationally.

"The initial investigation heavily focused on local suspects and potential domestic motives. While those avenues haven't been entirely dismissed, we're now exploring the possibility that Alice was targeted as part of a larger human trafficking network," Moreau explained in an exclusive interview. "The lack of a ransom demand, coupled with the swift disappearance and lack of local sightings, points towards a more organized and potentially international operation."

Moreau's team has been analyzing financial transactions, digital footprints, and border crossing records, focusing particularly on known trafficking routes. They've identified several "persons of interest," although none have yet been definitively linked to the abduction. A recent breakthrough came with the discovery of a coded message on an encrypted online forum frequented by individuals suspected of involvement in human trafficking. Decrypting the message is currently a top priority.

Scotland Yard, while maintaining a smaller presence due to resource constraints, continues to collaborate with the Guthrie family's private team, providing access to archived evidence and intelligence. Canadian authorities, including the RCMP, are also assisting with the investigation, particularly in tracing financial flows and analyzing potential connections within Canada. Interpol has issued a global alert, and the family is working with embassies and consulates in several countries to raise awareness.

The family has established a dedicated website, [www.bringalicehome.org](http://www.bringalicehome.org - a fictional website for the purpose of this article), to provide updates on the search and to receive information from the public. They continue to appeal for anyone with information, however insignificant it may seem, to come forward. They have also set up a secure email address: alice.guthrie.info@protonmail.com.

"We understand that two years is a long time, and memories fade," said Sarah Guthrie, Alice's mother. "But even the smallest detail, a fleeting encounter, a strange observation - it could be the key to unlocking this mystery. We believe someone, somewhere, knows something, and we are begging them to come forward."

The Guthrie family acknowledges the immense challenges ahead but remains steadfast in their determination to find Alice. They are urging anyone with information, or those who wish to support the search, to visit their website or contact the designated media contact, David Miller, at david.miller@guthriecase.com.
