I haven't had time to listen to today's hearing yet, but a general observation--midwest and mountain west US accents do tend to blur that s/z sound that's at the end of Miss and Mrs. and Ms. So no matter which it is, it comes out sounding Miz. Mrs. is usually a bit longer, like Missus, but lots of people slur all the s's together. Misss, which becomes Mizz. (Miz Carbuff is a Ms.)
