Nancy Guthrie: The Sheriff Running This Case Is Fighting for His Own Survival

This is the man responsible for finding Nancy Guthrie.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is now facing a 241-0 no-confidence vote from his own deputies. A unanimous vote from the Board of Supervisors compelling him to answer questions under oath — with removal from office on the table if he refuses. A recall campaign already in motion. And allegations backed by documents reported by the Arizona Republic and AZPM that he built a 42-year career in Pima County without ever disclosing what allegedly happened at the end of his time at the El Paso Police Department — approximately 26 disciplinary allegations, including excessive force, insubordination, discharge of a firearm, threatening behavior, and illegal gambling, before he resigned in 1982 rather than face termination.

His deputies say Pima County never knew.

One supervisor has called his career "based on fraud." According to reporting from the Arizona Republic and AZPM, when asked under oath whether he had ever been suspended, Nanos reportedly testified he had not. The documented record, according to that reporting, tells a different story.

And while all of that unfolds — Nancy is still missing.

The crime scene was reportedly released too soon. DNA went to a private lab in Florida instead of through federal channels. The FBI has stayed in and publicly committed to staying in regardless of what happens with the sheriff. But this community has every right to ask the hard question: is the person running this investigation capable of running it?

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins us for a direct conversation about what's happening inside the department responsible for bringing Nancy home — and what it could mean for this investigation if leadership changes now.
