Tucson Local Pulse: Missing Person Update, Rate Hike Concerns, and Community Events
Published 1 month, 1 week ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, March 19th. We kick off with breaking news on the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, last seen at her home near Kolb Road and Tanque Verde on January 31st. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says theres no active threat to the public, but the FBI has joined the investigation, focusing on key dates and surveillance footage, with Savannah offering a one million dollar reward. Sara Haines from The View shared how this hits close to home for media families, leaving us all hoping for answers soon.
Shifting to our communities, Cesar Chavez events faced changes this week after troubling abuse allegations surfaced against the labor icon. Organizers at Rudy Garcia Park canceled the march but rebranded Saturdays rally as the Comunidad y Labor Unity Fair, with Mayor Regina Romero voicing support for survivors. Tucson Symphony Orchestra performs Music from Carmen tonight at Centennial Hall, and tomorrow brings Metal By The Tracks at 191 Toole Avenue.
From City Hall, the Arizona Corporation Commission debates Tucson Electric Powers proposed 14 percent rate hike, with experts calling it too high and burdensome for our households. On a brighter note, Apothecurious lounge opens soon on Fourth Avenue, promising cozy vibes with craft beers, mocktails, and board games in an old apothecary style.
Weather today stays mild with highs near 72 degrees under partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor plans, though a light breeze off the Catalinas might chill evening events. Expect the same tomorrow before warming up over the weekend.
Jobs look steady with about 5,000 openings in healthcare and tech around Tucson International Airport. Real estate sees median home prices holding at around 350,000 dollars, up slightly near the University of Arizona.
In sports, Arizona baseball fell 6-3 to New Mexico midweek at Hi Corbett Field, but womens hoops gears up amid transfer buzz. Local high schools report strong track meets at Tucson High.
Crime in the past day stays low key, with no major incidents beyond the Guthrie case updates, keeping our neighborhoods safe.
Finally, a feel-good shoutout to Salpointe Catholic Highs robotics team qualifying for nationals after dominating regionals.
