Chilly with plenty of sun. High: 29 Low: 26.

Here are the top three stories in Indianapolis today:

1. IMPD is asking the public for help in finding a missing 51-year-old woman. Dawn Torrence has been missing since Jan. 4, and was last seen at about 7:30 a.m. in downtown Indianapolis. Torrence is 4’10″, 110 pounds, and has black hair, brown eyes, and uses a wheelchair. (CBS 4 Indianapolis)
2. A Lego-inspired bar, which is made of over one million blocks, is coming to Indianapolis in March. The Brick Bar will be open to families, including children age five and under, until 6 p.m., after which time all guests must be 21 or older. The bar will be located at Books and Brews South Indy on Shelby Street on March 18 and 19. (WIBC - Indianapolis News & Politics)
3. An Indianapolis mansion of the late businesswoman and philanthropist Christel DeHaan has been listed for $14 million. The 41,762-square-foot mansion sits on more than 150 acres that was once the grounds of a monastery. 77-year-old DeHaan died in 2020 as one of the wealthiest women and most prominent Hoosier philanthropists in the nation.
