Arizona Sheriff Finds Himself Under a Microscope with the Nancy Guthrie Case in Its 2nd Week
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos faces criticism for investigation missteps and public appearances amid the high-profile disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
- On Tuesday, authorities released surveillance clips showing someone approaching her Tucson-area home with a gun holster, ski mask, and backpack, but they do not reveal her fate.
- Given the family's profile, officials have faced unusually intense scrutiny, and Chris Nanos, Pima County sheriff, admitted he probably should have waited longer to relinquish Nancy Guthrie's home after detectives finished evidence work.
- Journalists captured images of apparent blood at the front door of Guthrie's Tucson-area home before authorities resecured the scene, and soon after the images were released, a man detained during a traffic stop south of Tucson was later released.
- Local officials criticized Nanos for attending a University of Arizona basketball game while the victim remained missing, and Nanos said some probe aspects were the FBI's responsibility and demurred on his handling.
- Nanos's long law-enforcement career dates to 1984 and includes leading investigations after the 2011 Tucson grocery-store shooting; he narrowly won the 2024 reelection amid a lawsuit from Heather Lappin.
