Weather forecast:
1. Haunting Petaluma Child Murder Investigation Renewed With Newsom Reward (patch.com) — Petaluma residents are being urged to revisit memories of 12-year-old Georgia Moses, whose 1997 killing remains unsolved despite renewed attention and a $50,000 reward authorized by Gov. Gavin Newsom. The case, tied closely to Petaluma through her disappearance, the Highway 101 on-ramp crime scene, and a memorial angel statue at City Hall, now relies on fresh tips from the community to move forward.
2. Police Searching For Missing At-Risk Teen (patch.com) — Petaluma police are asking residents to help find 16-year-old Chace Finn, who left home Tuesday morning and was later seen downtown but has not returned. With no phone or electronics and frequent visits to places like The Phoenix Theatre, Leghorn Park, and Petaluma Target, officers say he is at risk and need tips from anyone who spots him.
3. Petaluma: Single-family home sells for $1.83 million (pressdemocrat.com) — A historic 2,918-square-foot home on Sunnyslope Road in Petaluma just sold for $1.83 million, highlighting the city’s still-hot housing market. Several other nearby Petaluma properties also closed recently between about $1.2 and $2 million, offering a snapshot of current neighborhood prices and home sizes.
4. Court overturns animal welfare activist Wayne Hsiung's conviction on two of three counts (pressdemocrat.com) — A state appeals court has overturned two of three convictions against animal rights activist Wayne Hsiung, tied to 2018 and 2019 actions at Sunrise Farms and Reichardt Duck Farm, including protests in Petaluma. The remaining trespass conviction stands, and prosecutors are weighing their next steps. The case highlights how Petaluma-area poultry operations remain at the center of high-profile animal welfare battles.
