The temperature blind spot. The temperature inside the chemical tank in Garden Grove was at least 100° when firefighters checked it last night. The problem is 100 is as high as the temperature gauge on the tank goes so they don’t know how hot it actually is.

$1 Million taxpayer funded Vietnam War Memorial Wall at Mile Square Park torn down before ever being presented to the public. The former OC Supervisor who granted the funds is now in prison, and the guy he paid to build it is believed to have fled the country.

The family of missing Tucson woman Nancy Guthrie is offering a private $1 million reward for credible information that directly leads to her return.

If you have firsthand knowledge of Nancy’s whereabouts or any information about where she may be located, please contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324). Due to high call volume, you may experience delays when submitting information.

Guns. Hammers. Cutting through drywall. How Pokemon thieves are hurting small businesses like Do-We Collectibles in Anaheim. Some possible good news in the Anaheim case is that it looks like one of the thieves left his phone behind.

A statement from Sheriff Chris Nanos on the Nancy Guthrie Investigation:

[Brian Entin @BrianEntin]

Appears two individuals were taken out of the house where swat operation is happening.
I’m told a nearby traffic stop is also connected.
Im outside the house.

[FBI Phoenix @FBIPhoenix]

Today, the FBI is increasing its reward up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.

New identifying details about the suspect in the kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie have been confirmed after a forensic analysis of the doorbell camera footage by the FBI’s Operational Technology Division.

The suspect is described as a male, approximately 5’9” - 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack.

We hope this updated description will help concentrate the public tips we are receiving. Since February 1, 2026, the FBI has collected over 13,000 tips from the public related to this case.

Every tip is reviewed for credibility, relevance, and information that can be acted upon by law enforcement. Threat Intake Examiners at the National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) and FBI personnel are supporting a 24-hour command post in which dozens of agents and investigators are assigned leads and tips to action each shift.

Media outlets should direct tips they receive to the FBI. Additionally, we do not comment on tips and information we receive regarding ongoing investigations.

Continue to submit information to the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or https://t.co/8PjMoU17mh to help us bring Nancy home.

New: This is Carlos, who was detained in Rio Rico, Ariz., for questioning in the Nancy Guthrie abduction and has since been released.

He said he does not know why he was detained, had not heard of Nancy Guthrie and hopes the police find the actual culprit.
