Here are the top 3 stories in Albuquerque today:

1. John Hyde, who police say went on a killing spree in Albuquerque in 2005, was back before a judge this week. Every two years, a judge conducts a competency hearing to determine if Hyde is able to stand trial. He was originally ruled incompetent and was sent to a state mental hospital, where he'll stay for life unless deemed competent. (KRQE News 13)
2. Albuquerque Public Schools are dealing with an abundance of absent students. More than 10,000 students or around 1-in-7 students were absent on Thursday because of issues related to COVID. (KOB)
3. The FBI is looking for a person they say robbed an Albuquerque credit union on Thursday. At about 4:55 p.m., police were called to the First Financial Credit Union on San Mateo Blvd. The unknown man received an undisclosed amount of money and left. (KRQE News 13)

From my notebook:

• On Nextdoor Neighbor in Spruce Park, a resident is looking for their cat. His name is Benji and they're worried the cat got out of the house. (Nextdoor)
• On Nextdoor Neighbor in Arroyo Del Oso North, a person shared that they found a keychain on the Arroyo Del Oso pathway. It seems to have only sentimental value (no keys) but is looking for its owner. (Nextdoor)
• A resident on Nextdoor in Nob Hill Southwest shared a photo of a German Shephard mix asking if anyone is missing their dog. They said the tag has a Kansas number on it. (Nextdoor)
