Almost two months after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her residence in Tucson, Arizona, a former Pima County sheriff has accused the current Sheriff Chris Nanos of improperly managing the crime scene.
The accusation comes as Nanos is facing a no-confidence vote and scrutiny regarding his disciplinary history.
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at her home near Tucson, Arizona, on January 31 and was reported missing on February 1.
Authorities suspect that the 84-year-old was abducted, and they discovered drops of her blood on her front porch.
However, since the FBI made public surveillance footage from a doorbell camera, which depicted a masked man, referred to as a suspect, outside Guthrie’s front door on the evening she went missing, investigators have not been able to identify a suspect or share any significant advancements in the case with the public.
Dr. Richard Carmona—a former U.S. surgeon general and an ex-Pima County sheriff—has blasted Nanos for personally declaring the reopening of the crime scene at Nancy's residence in Catalina Foothills.
Carmona questioned the delivery of pizza during the starting phase of the probe, stating that it could have corrupted the crime scene and raised questions about the authenticity of the evidence.
