    Desperate Search for Missing Tucson Woman Continues as Ransom Messages Surface

    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, February eighth. We begin with a developing situation that has gripped our community for nearly a week now. The search for eighty-four-year-old Nancy Guthrie continues as her family makes increasingly desperate pleas for her safe return. Nancy disappeared from her home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson after being dropped off around ten p.m. on January thirty-first. She was reported missing the next morning when she failed to show up to church. Investigators believe she was taken against her will. DNA tests confirmed blood found on her front porch matches Nancy. According to the Pima County Sheriff's Office, no suspects have been identified at this time. The investigation has taken on new urgency this week as multiple ransom messages have surfaced. The Tucson television station KOLD received an initial email on Monday evening, just two days after Nancy's disappearance. The message included details about items Nancy had with her, though officials have not released specifics. A second message arrived on Friday afternoon without providing proof that she is still alive. Yesterday, the Guthrie family released a video message directly addressing whoever may be holding their mother. Speaking alongside her siblings, Today show host Savannah Guthrie told potential kidnappers that the family is willing to pay for her mother's safe return. Investigators say they are taking all messages seriously, though the authenticity of the ransom notes has not been confirmed. Searchers returned to Nancy's home for the third time on Friday as they work to recover additional evidence. Law enforcement has been canvassing nearby businesses requesting surveillance footage. A blue SUV belonging to Nancy was towed from her garage as part of the investigation. Authorities note that a doorbell camera at the home was disconnected early Sunday morning, just before Nancy's pacemaker disconnected from her phone around two thirty a.m. There is growing concern for Nancy's health. She requires daily medication for heart and blood pressure issues and relies on a pacemaker. Sheriff Chris Nanos has stated her condition is likely worsening by the day. The FBI is offering a fifty thousand dollar reward for information leading to her recovery or the arrest of those responsible. If you have any information, listeners are urged to call the FBI tip line at one eight hundred call FBI. On a lighter note, the University of Arizona Wildcats softball team faced number three Oklahoma yesterday, falling twenty-one to three in five innings at Hillenbrand Stadium.

    The Catalina Foothills Disappearance: Searching for Nancy Guthrie

    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Friday, February 6. We start with our top story shaking our community: the heartbreaking disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie from her Catalina Foothills home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says blood on her front porch matches hers, and they believe she was taken against her will around 2 a.m. on February 1, right after her doorbell camera disconnected and her pacemaker app went offline. The FBI offers a $50,000 reward for tips, and ransom notes sent to outlets like KOLD-TV include details only the abductor would know, though one led to a fake note arrest. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings pleaded on video for proof she's alive, but no response yet. We hold out hope she's still out there and urge listeners to call authorities with any info. Shifting to public safety, that's our main crime alert from the past day—no other major incidents reported, keeping our streets relatively calm. From city hall, no big decisions today, but we're watching how this case impacts neighborhood patrols in hilly desert areas like Catalina Foothills. The national jobs market crashed with over 100,000 cuts last month, per Challenger Gray reports, which could ripple here as Amazon and others trim back—our local seekers, stay vigilant. Real estate holds steady, with Catalina Foothills median prices around $800,000, drawing eyes amid the news. Weather-wise, sunny skies at 68 degrees make for perfect outdoor time, though gusty winds near Tucson Mall could scatter events—clear tonight into tomorrow. New business buzz: a fresh coffee spot opens on Speedway Boulevard near Reid Park this weekend. Upcoming, join a vigil for Nancy at Foothills church tonight, and UA Wildcats basketball tips off Saturday at McKale Center—go Cats! Salpointe Catholic High just notched a regional soccer win, boosting our school pride. And a feel-good note: neighbors rallied with candles and prayers for Nancy, showing our tight-knit spirit.

    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Sunday, February 1. We kick off with last nights heartbreak at Tucson Arena, where our Roadrunners built a two-goal lead in the second period thanks to Andrew Agozzinos tally and Ben McCartneys power-play strike, but Colorado Eagles stormed back with two third-period goals and won it three-two in overtime on Tristen Nielsens late shot. Matthew Villalta stood tall with twenty-four saves, and Tucson holds seventh in the Pacific Division playoff chase. Fans, catch them next Wednesday in Ontario. Shifting to our schools, University of Arizona track stars shone at the Lumberjack Invite, with full results showing strong marks across events that boost our Wildcats momentum. Local districts like Amphitheater are setting budgets with tiny tax cuts, easing family wallets amid daily life. City Hall updates bring good news from Pima County, where sites around Tucson, Marana, and Oro Valley now offer round-the-clock sandbag access off Ina Road and Kolb Road prepping for monsoons, a smart move keeping our streets safer. Governor Hobbs appointed Judge Kristin Schriner to Pima Superior Court, strengthening justice here. Weather today stays mild with highs near sixty-five under partly cloudy skies, perfect for outdoor plans at Saguaro National Park, though a slight chill means light jackets for evening walks. Expect the same tomorrow with no big disruptions. No major crime hits in the past day, just routine patrols keeping neighborhoods like those near Speedway and Campbell secure. Jobs look steady with about two thousand openings listed locally, many in health care, while real estate sees median homes around three hundred seventy thousand, up three percent, drawing buyers to east side spots. New vibe downtown as Logan Phillips, our DJ Dirtyverbs, returns as Pima County Library writer-in-residence, sparking cultural chats.

    Protesters March Against ICE, Pima College Expands Entrepreneurship Courses, Marana Schools Plan Events

    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Saturday, January thirty-first. We're starting this morning with significant activity downtown as hundreds of protesters have marched against ICE enforcement, making their way through Phoenix streets before gathering at the Arizona State Capitol. This action reflects growing community concerns about immigration enforcement policies affecting our region. In education news, Pima Community College is making waves with enhanced entrepreneurship coursework. Professor Greg Watson has expanded the Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship course with new digital transformation modules launching this cycle. The updated curriculum now includes eight core modules covering everything from market opportunity identification to social media marketing and search engine optimization. It's designed for both full-time students and working professionals seeking practical business skills, with guest speakers from our local business community providing mentorship throughout the program. Speaking of schools, at Marana Unified School District, Twin Peaks K-eight is preparing for several community events. Kindergarten registration opens February ninth for the twenty twenty-six twenty-seven school year, and the school is hosting parent-teacher conferences during that same week. Coming up February thirteenth, the PTF is presenting an Under the Sea gala at StarDance Event Center from five thirty to eight in the evening, a family-friendly celebration that's sure to be a hit. On the animal welfare front, Pima Animal Care Center continues working to address overcrowding. The facility is preparing for its biannual Snip and Tip community cat spay and neuter event scheduled for November seventh through ninth at their Silverbell Road location. They're actively seeking donations of supplies like cat carriers, sheets, towels, and cat food to make the event successful. University of Arizona student-athletes are being recognized for their academic achievements. Sixty-six Arizona Wildcats earned spots on the Big Twelve Conference All-Academic team, demonstrating that our student-athletes are excelling both on the field and in the classroom. Locally, there's also ongoing development in county planning. Pima County's updated comprehensive land use plan, called Pima Prospers twenty twenty-five, was approved last October and focuses on increasing housing supply, protecting our water resources, and preserving the natural landscapes our community cherishes. The plan balances growth with conservation efforts that have protected over three thousand acres of open space. As we head into the weekend, we're looking at typical winter conditions for our area, so enjoy the mild temperatures and clear skies we typically see this time of year.

    Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, January 29th. We start with breaking news from early Tuesday morning on Interstate 10 near Speedway Boulevard. An Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper pursued a white Toyota Camry driver for criminal speeding near milepost 252.

The suspect faces life-threatening injuries and is in custody at a local hospital. Sadly, the bicyclist died from injuries, while the pedestrian has non-life-threatening wounds. A trooper suffered minor injuries. The intersection fully reopened yesterday afternoon, but our thoughts go out to those affected as investigations continue.

Light winds up to 15 miles per hour make it perfect for outdoor plans, though bundle up for cooler evenings.
