Wednesday Jul 29 2026 - Scanner News

Yesterday, scanner traffic and local police reports indicated two elderly missing females. Thankfully, one has been found.   In Alliance, 71-year-old female was missing, but was safely located in less than 24 hours. The other elderly female we heard about did not provide much information, but we do know a 77-year-old female, white sweatshirt, blue sweatpants, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 120 pounds, is missing from Kimball. So in Kimball, a 77-year-old female, wearing sweats, white sweatshirt, blue sweatpants, 5'6", 120 pounds, beyond the lookout. That's in Kimball.   A rainstorm blew through the area, and several people submitted rain gauge photos to us, several different amounts from zero to several inches throughout the Panhandle. Storm spotters did report storm damage in the Broadwater area, and users sent in a couple of photos. You can see those on our Facebook page at Panhandle Scanner.    Have you visited our website recently, Panhandlescanner.com? Do it via your mobile phone, and you'll get our instant mobile app, that now has a new feature called the Scanner Traffic Logger. If you're a scanner listener, and you want to record what you hear over the scanner to help us out, go to Panhandlescanner.com, click on the red button called Scanner Traffic Logger, and submit anything you hear over scanner traffic.
