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.
