FBI Director Kash Patel is facing a wave of criticism after appearing on Fox News to discuss the unsolved disappearance of Arizona woman Nancy Guthrie, with many viewers accusing him of shifting blame onto local investigators for investigative delays rather than focusing on the ongoing search.
Patel's interview on Hannity quickly ignited debate online after he suggested the FBI could have extracted more forensic evidence had federal agents become involved earlier in the investigation. His remarks drew praise from some supporters but prompted a much louder backlash from critics, who questioned both his comments and his handling of the case.
