Sheriff’s Own Deputies Call Nancy Guthrie Investigation an “Ego Case”
Breaking developments in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping investigation—and they’re coming from inside the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. Multiple current and former members of Sheriff Chris Nanos’s own agency are publicly questioning how the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother is being handled.
Sgt. Aaron Cross, president of the Pima County Deputies Organization, delivered a damning assessment to reporters: “It is a common belief in this agency that this case has become an ego case for Sheriff Nanos.” Former Chief Deputy Richard Kastigar, who gave 46 years to the department and served directly under Nanos, says the sheriff holds “great disdain” for the FBI and is “still pissed” about an investigation that took place in 2015.
Tonight we’re examining what that 2015 FBI probe involved, why it allegedly created lasting tension, and how those feelings may be affecting decisions in the Nancy Guthrie case. Sources indicate the FBI wants to assume a lead role in the investigation—but Nanos won’t allow it. Evidence has been routed to a private lab rather than the FBI’s facilities at Quantico.
Nanos calls the accusations political distraction and insists federal cooperation is solid. But his recent public statements haven’t helped: “I’m not used to everyone hanging onto my every word and then holding me accountable for what I say.”
We’re also digging into the 2024 election controversy where Nanos placed a political opponent on administrative leave weeks before voting—and the federal retaliation lawsuit that followed.
Four weeks. No suspects. No arrests. Nancy Guthrie is still missing. We’re live with the latest.
