Former Pima County Official Slams Sheriff's Actions in Nancy Guthrie Case
- On Monday, former Pima County Sheriff Dr. Richard Carmona criticized Sheriff Chris Nanos' handling of the investigation into missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, citing poor leadership and ineffective communication.
- Last week, the Pima County Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to invoke A.R.S. § 11-253, requiring Nanos to provide sworn testimony about his career and specific duties during an April 7 meeting.
- Carmona argued that opening the crime scene prematurely risks corrupting potential evidence, stating, "You cannot reconstitute a crime scene once it has been corrupted," which could aid defense attorneys.
- Authorities confirmed the discovery of 28-year-old Passion Schurz in an Arizona canal on March 28 is unrelated to the search for Guthrie, ending initial public speculation.
- Resume discrepancies, including his 1982 resignation from the El Paso Police Department, have added to the scrutiny Nanos faces as he prepares for the Board hearing.
