DNA Deluge Keeps Guthrie Case From Cooling, Sheriff Says

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s abduction remains active and not cold, noting investigators are sorting through a large volume of DNA and video evidence more than 25 weeks after the Tucson home invasion, as Savannah Guthrie released a new Instagram plea to her mother’s kidnappers; a federal source says Guthrie consulted with law enforcement before releasing the video, and experts caution the case isn’t cold until all leads are exhausted.

Arizona Supervisors Move to Remove Sheriff Over Guthrie Case and Perjury Claims

Local officials in Arizona are moving to oust Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is leading the Nancy Guthrie disappearance investigation, after allegations he lied under oath about past suspensions. Two county supervisors plan to file a motion to remove him if he doesn’t resign by Tuesday, 100 days after Guthrie vanished, a move critics say targets his overall record rather than the Guthrie case. Nanos and his lawyers argue there was a misunderstanding in the deposition, while the Guthrie inquiry has drawn scrutiny of the FBI’s involvement in the investigation.

Pima County's Death Report: A Mix of Good and Bad News, Including First Child Flu Death

The Pima County Medical Examiner has released the annual death report, which shows that drug overdoses are the biggest category of preventable deaths, with fentanyl being the leading cause. However, there has been progress in preventing overdose deaths among teenagers. Suicides were up significantly in most age groups, especially among those 70 years of age and older, likely linked to the lingering effects of the pandemic. The number of pedestrians killed jumped by nearly 30%, and the number of people who died from heat-related illnesses nearly tripled year to year.

Gas Prices Vary Across Southern Arizona and Phoenix, Leaving Drivers Frustrated.

Gas prices in Southern Arizona have spiked due to a global cut in oil and an increase in demand. Refineries in Texas and New Mexico went down for maintenance, which hurt the local supply. Pima County, specifically Tucson, is paying 50 cents more per gallon than other areas in Southern Arizona due to being the biggest consumer of gas in those areas. Gas prices are expected to stay at this level for the foreseeable future due to the upcoming switch to the more expensive summer blend of gasoline and increased demand.
