Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, the lawman leading the Nancy Guthrie investigation in Arizona, is facing mounting calls to resign after renewed scrutiny of his past conduct and work history surfaced this week. The pressure intensified on Tuesday and Wednesday after county supervisors moved towards a formal review and NewsNation's Brian Entin reported that a recall effort was already gathering signatures, separate from the disappearance case itself.
The search for Nancy Guthrie has kept Nanos in a harsh public spotlight for weeks, with critics already questioning the handling of the case before the focus shifted to his earlier career. Entin said the recall push was not about Savannah Guthrie's missing mother directly, but about what a local reporter had uncovered in personnel records from Nanos's time at the El Paso Police Department and what he later said about that history under oath.
