Sheriff leading Guthrie investigation spotted at basketball game as family pleads again with alleged ransomers
Sheriff Nanos faces criticism for investigation delays and personnel changes amid the search for Nancy Guthrie, as family issues public ransom pleas and FBI offers $50,000 reward.
- On Saturday night, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos was photographed sitting near the front row at a University of Arizona basketball game while Nancy Guthrie, 84-year-old missing woman, was still missing about a week later.
- A dispute with the sheriff's department aircraft pilot delayed a key search plane by three hours after his demotion, and transferring the most experienced Search and Rescue deputy left the unit short-staffed.
- Savannah Guthrie and her siblings posted a filmed plea on Instagram minutes after the game, and investigators noted the doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m. while the FBI offered a $50,000 reward.

- The case has drawn nationwide attention and intensified scrutiny of Nanos after his 2024 election victory by 481 votes and past internal investigations, critics say.
