Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has announced that he is no longer in direct communication with the family of Nancy Guthrie, who was kidnapped in Tucson, Arizona, over 100 days ago. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is now overseeing discussions with the Guthrie family as the investigation continues. Nanos expressed understanding of the public's frustration, stating that every moment without resolution feels prolonged for the family. During a recent interview, he emphasized the importance of proceeding carefully to avoid wrongful accusations or arrests. NewsNation correspondent Brian Entin highlighted the implications of Nanos's decision, noting that initial communications with Savannah Guthrie and her siblings had been reported. Former investigator Morgan Wright criticized the sheriff's lack of contact with the family, stressing that maintaining communication is crucial for building a case and ensuring cooperation. Meanwhile, the Pima County Board of Supervisors has opted to keep Sheriff Nanos in his role despite ongoing scrutiny regarding his professional history and management of the sheriff's department, including allegations of perjury that have been referred to the Arizona Attorney General.
