Sheriff is accused of locking FBI AND his own detectives out of crucial decision-making in Nancy Guthrie kidnap probe
DailyMail ^ | 02/20/26 | Staff

Posted on 02/20/2026 4:25:13 PM PST by doc maverick

“Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has 'locked down' the Nancy Guthrie investigation amid escalating tensions between his team and the FBI that have reached the boiling point, the Daily Mail can reveal. Several sources say that Nanos is now insisting that only he and two of his highest-ranking inner circle will make decisions regarding the case of the missing 84-year-old. Several PCSD sources confirmed to the Daily Mail that just three decision makers are leading the department's investigation: Sheriff Nanos, Chief Jesus Lopez and Captain Juan Carlos Navarro.”

Are the sheriff and his buddies, Lopez and Navarro, in cahoots with the kidnappers? It’s very suspicious to lock out the FBI and only keep info between himself and 2 henchmen after they screwed up the crime scene.

This ENTIRE case is a COVER UP to protect the Guthrie family..they know, everyone knows that they are involved but Mark Kelly made the phone call and the rest is history

No pressure.

I saw an article about a helicopter conducting a grid search over a landfill.

He is in way over his head. Incompetence galore.

They never secured the crime scene.

True but then again it took the FBI 5 years to find the Jan. 6 bomber (one of their own) and they still don’t know who was in on the conspiracy to shoot Trump. So the Sheriff and his buddies may be in on it, but don’t count on the pigs at the FBI to figure anything out.

I’m getting the feeling more and more that there is some kind of cover up going on.

That’s what I’m thinking and their grid search won’t come up with anything because she’s in Mexico.
Also, the DNA doesn’t match anyone in CODIS because the kidnappers are from Mexico and haven’t not ever been arrested here.
They thought of everything.

I thought that the FBI took over all kidnappings.

of course the Sheriff is the decision maker, that’s a given: you can’t have underlings running around making strategic decisions behind his back ... it’s just like President Trump being the ultimate decision-maker in the Executive Branch ... the REAL issue is how much import he’s giving to the advice of those in his department, an issue click-bait D.M. totally sluffs over ...

Motive=money
They probably already paid the bitcoin ransom.
Now they can divide it all w/o the FBI trying to trace the accounts.

The FBI gets their rocks off by killing people not figuring things out. But they are Sean Hannidity’s heroes....

The cartel always answers up to the global crime syndicate.

This looks like a move to control the media.
