Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is leading the investigation of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, has faced another round of allegations. According to a new report, the officer deployed inexperienced detectives to Guthrie's home when the 84-year-old was reported missing on 1 February 2026.
Nanos, who has been questioned for his procedural incompetence and leadership, is at the centre of another heated debate. His decisions in the critical early hours of the case are now being called into question by those close to the inquiry, who felt that his management of the crime scene may have compromised the integrity of the operation.
