Catherine Nelson, 42, and her fiancé Charles Russell were last heard from after traveling from Phoenix to Tucson on February 2, 2002 to inspect a Ducati motorcycle advertised for sale. They were driving a red Ford SVT Lightning F-150 and carried a cashier’s check intending to buy the bike. When both failed to show up for work on February 4, they were reported missing.

The couple’s pickup was found abandoned on February 7, 2002 in the Santa Cruz Catholic Church parking lot in Tucson. Charles Russell’s checkbook was in the glove compartment; no other obvious signs of a struggle or evidence were reported from the vehicle. Friends said leaving their dog alone at home was out of character for the pair. Investigators later concluded the motorcycle ad was likely a ruse and considered the possibility they had been lured to be robbed. Their bodies have not been found and many questions remain.

Does anyone have information about Catherine or Charles, or about the Tucson area around February 2–7, 2002?
