Tucson Local Pulse: Day 26 of Nancy Guthrie Search, Federal Investigators Close In

Good morning, this is Tucson Local Pulse for Thursday, February 26. We start with the biggest story gripping our city on day 26 of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance from her Catalina Foothills home. Yesterday, federal prosecutors and nearly a dozen FBI investigators in unmarked SUVs swarmed her house on North Camino Miraval for hours, inspecting the entryway, backyard, pool area, and even carrying something out in blue gloves. This comes right after her family, including daughter Savannah Guthrie, upped the reward to one million dollars, sparking 1500 new tips. Neighbors report a suspicious young walker weeks before, hat low over his eyes near the intersection leading to her place, and they've been asked to check cameras from January 1 to February 2. But false online rumors have turned scary for local teacher Dominic Evans and his family, who cleared the air with authorities after crowds gathered at their Tucson home, forcing them to hide one night. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos calls it heartbreaking, urging folks to stick to facts. Starting today, no-parking zones widen on streets like East Camino La Zorrela, North Mina Vista, and North Camino El Ganado to ease media chaos, with 250 dollar fines for violators, though drop-offs are still okay. Shifting to city hall, transportation officials greenlit those parking rules to cut congestion and boost safety around the Foothills Estates. No major job shifts, but our market holds steady with about 4 percent unemployment. Real estate sees median home prices around 380 thousand dollars, up slightly from last month amid Foothills demand. Weather wise, mild sunny skies at 68 degrees today with low winds perfect for outdoor plans, though a cooler evening dips to 42, so layer up for events. New business buzz: a fresh coffee spot opens tomorrow on East Speedway near Reid Park. Community calendars highlight the Tucson Gem and Mineral Show wrapping this weekend at the Convention Center, and a free family fun run Saturday at Udall Park. Salpointe Catholic High just clinched a thrilling 3 to 2 soccer win over rival Ironwood Ridge. And a feel-good note: local volunteers tied yellow ribbons along Camino Miraval in support of Nancy, showing our tight-knit spirit. In the past 24 hours, no major crimes beyond Guthrie probe activity, keeping our streets safe. Thanks for tuning in, listeners, and remember to subscribe. This has been Tucson Local Pulse.
