We drove over to the Harkins movie-theater complex at Shea Boulevard and Scottsdale Road the other day to check out the new documentary about the infamous and horrific April 2001 Scottsdale murders of Mary Fisher and her two young children, Brittney and Bobby Jr.

Where is Robert F-ing Fisher?

Fisher, a nurse at the Mayo Hospital, split for parts unknown after apparently killing his wife and kids by slashing their throats as they lay in their respective beds (he also shot Mary in the back of the head).

Fisher then set a slow-burning fire in his south Scottsdale home, disconnected a gas pipe inside the home, ignited a candle, and split for parts unknown.

An Apache Junction motorcycle dealership will hold a public meeting at 6:30 p.m. tonight to discuss ways to keep the Lost Dutchman Park open during the state budget crisis.

Mark LeResche, owner of Superstition Harley-Davidson, says all money raised tonight will be handed over to the Arizona State Parks Foundation.

Last week, a guy from Texas made headlines after cutting an $8,000 check for the park.

Arizona State Parks officials say about $25,000 is needed to keep the popular park east of Mesa open through the slow summer months. The park is one of the main gateways into the 160,000-acre federal wilderness area named after a legendary gold miner. It also has campsites and a visitors' center.

Arizona lawmakers made deep cuts in the park system's budget for this year, spurring plans to shutter some of the parks -- including Lost Dutchman -- by June.

Authorities had searched high and low for 53-year-old Kelley Tate (above), who went missing in the rugged Superstition Mountains last Thursday. But they didn't search low enough.

After 150 searchers combed the mountains for days, utilizing dogs, horses, and a helicopter, a phoned-in tip led to the discovery of Tate's body on a short, easy trail next to the Lost Dutchman State Park parking lot.

"We never set out to do a half-assed search," Tami Villar, spokeswoman for the Pinal County Sheriff's Office, tells New Times. "[Rescuers] are disappointed because they didn't search that area more."

Search-and-rescue teams assumed that Tate probably fell and injured himself on one of the East Valley mountain park's burlier trails, Villar says. After all, Tate was an experienced hiker with no known medical conditions.
