Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP148757)
Nancy Curry, a 61-year-old woman, was last seen on August 3, 2025, after boarding a Greyhound bus in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with plans to travel to Wisconsin, where her daughters lived. According to reporting at the time, Nancy’s family believed she had successfully gotten onto the bus, but she never arrived at her intended destination. What began as a family’s hopeful relocation quickly became a frightening search along a long interstate route, with loved ones trying to determine where
she may have gotten off the bus or where she might have become disoriented during the trip.
Nancy’s daughters were especially concerned because the trip was supposed to bring her closer to them. One of her daughters said the family had even tried to intercept her in Chicago so they could bring her home safely, checking buses there in hopes of finding her, but Nancy was not found among them. Her family told reporters that she had depression, took antidepressant medication, and was without her medication during the time she was missing. They also said she did not like being alone, adding to the urgency and emotional weight of the search.
As the search widened, Nancy’s family focused on the route the bus may have taken between Florida and the Midwest. They looked closely at possible stops and cities along the way, including Gainesville and Lake City in Florida, as well as Valdosta, Tifton, Macon, and Atlanta in Georgia. Univision reported that Greyhound was contacted about whether the company had information on where Nancy may have gotten off, but the company said it could not release that information because it involved sensitive data. Her daughters pleaded for the public to respond with care if they saw her, explaining that she was not dangerous and asking that anyone who encountered her while she appeared lost or confused help get her to a hospital.
Official missing-person records also reflected the case after Nancy disappeared from Fort Lauderdale, with NamUs listing her as missing from Fort Lauderdale and showing a case creation date of August 6, 2025. Later, Nancy appeared in a separate missing adult report in Madison, Wisconsin, where police described her as new to Madison and believed she may have wandered away in the early morning hours near Packers Avenue and International Lane. Madison police issued a Silver Alert and released descriptive information, including that she was about 4 feet 11 inches tall, weighed around 135 pounds, had brown and salt-and-pepper short hair, and may have been confused about where she was traveling. That Madison search ended safely, with police reporting that Nancy was located safe.
The available online record shows a case that began with a vulnerable woman leaving Fort Lauderdale by bus for what was supposed to be a move toward family support, followed by days of uncertainty as her daughters searched possible stops and asked strangers to respond with compassion. Although the Fort Lauderdale disappearance raised serious concern because Nancy did not arrive as expected and was believed to be without needed medication, official reports later indicate that she was found alive and is no longer an active missing person in that case. In overview, Nancy Curry’s case centered on a 61-year-old woman who vanished during interstate travel from Florida to Wisconsin, prompted an urgent family and public search, and ultimately ended with her being located alive.Last Seen: Aug 3, 2025
