Tucson Locals Pulse: Search Continues for Missing Elderly Woman, City Updates, and Community Events

Published 2 months, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, February 15. We start with the biggest story gripping our city, the ongoing search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from the Catalina Foothills. Late Friday into Saturday, FBI and Pima County deputies swarmed a home near East Orange Grove Road and Northstone Avenue, just two miles from her place on Skyline Drive. They executed a federal search warrant, detained a person of interest who was cooperative but released him with no arrest. Nearby at a Culvers parking lot, agents tarp-covered a Range Rover, towed it for evidence, and checked another man, again no charges. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says they are analyzing DNA from her property that does not match Nancy or her close contacts, plus gloves found along a desert road. The suspect is a masked man, five foot nine to five foot ten, average build, carrying a black Ozark Trail backpack sold at our local Walmart. The reward is now $100,000 for tips, and they need your surveillance video from late January near Campbell Avenue. We stand with the family, including daughter Savannah Guthrie, hoping for answers soon.

Shifting to public safety, no other major crimes reported in the past day, but stay vigilant in neighborhoods.

City Hall updates bring good news: council approved a $5 million expansion for bike lanes along Speedway Boulevard, easing our daily commutes and boosting safety.

Weather today is mild, sunny highs near 70 degrees after last nights rain, perfect for outdoor plans, though watch for gusty winds near Sabino Canyon this afternoon. Expect clear skies tonight into tomorrow.

New business buzz: a trendy coffee shop opens tomorrow at Grant and Country Club, and we mourn the closure of the old bookstore on Speedway after 20 years.

Jobs look strong with about 2,000 openings in tech and healthcare downtown. Real estate heats up too, median home prices around $380,000 near the Foothills.

Salpointe Catholic High School hoops team crushed rivals 65-52 Friday. Upcoming, catch the Tucson Gem Show events starting Tuesday at the Convention Center.

For a feel-good lift, local volunteers planted 50 trees at Reid Park yesterday, greening our oasis for generations.
