The Man Running Nancy's Case Has a Truth Problem

The sheriff running Nancy Guthrie's disappearance case just watched his own deputies vote 241-0 to demand his resignation. Not one person in his department voted to continue under his leadership. Zero.

That same week, the Pima County Board of Supervisors invoked a little-known state law to require Sheriff Chris Nanos to testify under oath — with removal from office on the line if he refuses. Supervisor Matt Heinz called his 42-year career in Pima County "fruit of a poison tree" and said the revelation that followed was "disqualifying."

Here's what prompted that: in a sworn December deposition, Nanos was asked whether he had ever been suspended as a law enforcement officer. He said no. Records obtained by the Arizona Republic from the El Paso Police Department tell a different story — eight suspensions, thirty-seven days without pay, a robbery suspect hospitalized in intensive care, a grand jury, and a resignation submitted under pressure in 1982 to avoid termination. Nanos says he interpreted the question as referring only to his Pima County career.

Heinz's response: that answer could require reopening every case Nanos contributed to over four decades in this department.

The recall drive is underway. The board's mechanism is live. And the man at the center of all of it says he'll comply with the board's order — which may be precisely the move that keeps him in place, since the statute's removal power only triggers if he refuses.

Nancy Guthrie's family deserves to know exactly who has been at that podium. This episode lays it out completely.
