Nancy Guthrie Update: Guthrie Family Should Be ‘Upset’ About DNA Handling, Ex-FBI Agent Says

Despite an FBI request to process evidence at their Quantico, Virginia, facility, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos insisted on sending DNA evidence in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case to a private Florida lab.
Sheriff Nanos reportedly chose the Florida laboratory because it offered to work on the case pro bono, rejecting the federal bureau's offer to handle the evidence at their national crime laboratory.
The decision was criticized by former FBI special agent Jen Coffindaffer, who noted the bureau has always possessed the advanced technology required, causing a delay of approximately 70 days.
On Saturday, April 18, reports surfaced that the Florida facility eventually forwarded the DNA sample to the FBI to utilize the bureau's advanced analysis technology, effectively reversing the initial decision.
According to Coffindaffer, Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie and her family should be upset by the evidence handling, as the FBI's superior capabilities could have assisted the investigation from the onset.
