Tucson Locals Pulse: Search for Nancy Guthrie, City Updates, Weather, and Community Support

Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, February 19. We kick off with the biggest story gripping our community, the ongoing search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Catalina Foothills home. Pima County Sheriffs report biological evidence found inside her residence is under lab analysis, with DNA profiles being tested against databases like CODIS and even genealogical sites like 23andMe for family matches. Doorbell video shows a suspect, about five foot nine with average build, and they havent ruled out an accomplice. Rewards now top 200 thousand dollars, including a fresh 100 thousand anonymous donation to 88-CRIME on top of the FBIs offer. FBI has alerted Mexican authorities amid ransom note claims shes south of the border, though no confirmation yet. Locals, we urge you to check footage from January 31 into February 1, especially within two miles of her home. Our hearts go out to the Guthrie family, whove fully cooperated.

Shifting to city hall, yesterday's mayor and council study session covered the Safe City Initiative to curb gun violence, a Costco economic review for Ward 4 near Kolb and Broadway, and FY26 budget updates that could impact our roads and parks. They also appointed a new city clerk.

Weather today brings mild highs near 70 under partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor plans, though a light breeze might kick up dust near the Santa Catalinas. Expect the same tomorrow before cooler temps roll in over the weekend.

New business buzz includes that Costco proposal pushing forward, promising jobs and shopping options. Job market stays steady with about 15 thousand openings citywide, many in healthcare around the UA Medical Center. Real estate sees median home prices holding at 350 thousand, up slightly near Tanque Verde Road.

Mark your calendars for this afternoons event at the College of Medicine-Tucson, Supporting Family Caregivers in STEMM from 3 to 4:30, a call to action report sharing.

Salpointe Catholic boys basketball notched a win last night, keeping their playoff hopes alive.

And a feel-good note, community support swells at our News4 Tucson banner on Swan and Elm, with flowers and messages for Nancy bringing us together.
