Arizona sheriff blocks FBI access to evidence in Nancy Guthrie abduction, source says
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos restricts FBI access to evidence, choosing a private Florida lab for analysis amid a $100,000 reward and over 13,000 public tips received.
- On February 12, 2026, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos blocked FBI access to key evidence in the Nancy Guthrie abduction, Reuters reported, impairing federal assistance.
- Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos insisted evidence be processed at a private Florida laboratory, with the county paying about $200,000 to transport evidence there, despite FBI requests for the lab in Virginia.
- Investigators recovered several items of evidence, including gloves, and DNA confirmed blood on Nancy Guthrie's front porch, while doorbell camera footage released Wednesday showed a masked armed prowler and a black latex glove found Thursday is undergoing forensic examination.
- Outsourcing forensic work to a Florida contractor is delaying FBI assistance, federal officials say this prolongs the Guthrie family's grief and risks slowing the search into its 12th day.
