The Arizona sheriff leading the hunt for Nancy Guthrie has responded to efforts to recall him for being “an embarrassment” for his handling of the high-profile kidnapping case.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed the effort to oust him soon after it was first revealed by The Post on Tuesday.
Republican congressional candidate Daniel Butierez told The Post on Tuesday that he had launched the recall campaign over Nanos’ handling of the Guthrie case as well as allegations he misrepresented his employment history.
There is increasing disquiet over his conduct among rank-and-file Pima County police officers as well as Sheriff Nanos’s fellow Democrats, according to Butierez, who is standing in Arizona’s 7th Congressional District this November.
Nanos “has been an embarrassment to Tucson and to Pima County with this Nancy Guthrie case,” Butierez said. “Everyone’s pretty disgusted, Democrats and Republicans.”
Starting last Thursday, when he officially began recall proceedings, Butierez has 120 days to collect the necessary signatures to oust Sheriff Nanos.

“allegations he misrepresented his employment history.”

Uh oh.....lied on his resume......bad juju.
She’s dead. She was taken into Mexico soon after she was kidnapped. And while in Mexico she died as the result of being without her pivotal heart medications...something the kidnappers didn’t anticipate.
This Nancy Guthrie case is a prime example of the pitfalls of true crime podcasts. They have a voracious appetite for content and a lot of them latched on to the Guthrie investigation and did hours on every twist and turn no matter how speculative it was. As the leads dried up, you could see them becoming starved for content and focusing their shows on how this sheriff and his team were allegedly screwing up the investigation. Is he? I don’t know. But if you followed the emotional rollercoaster of the Guthrie podcasts, you need some emotional payoff and this sheriff’s head is it.
If he did, the people vetting his resume couldn’t be bothered to catch it could they...
I believe Nancy Guthrie is gone.....
“During a sworn deposition in December, Nanos was asked whether he had ever been suspended during his law enforcement career and answered “no.”
“However, records in his former police department in El Paso show he was suspended eight separate times as a young officer.”

A sheriff lying about verifiable records....wow. SMH

Something else to keep in mind...
Reportedly, Savannah Guthrie’s first phone call after finding out her mom was missing was not to the president or Kash Patel.
It was to Mark Kelly.
It has seemed like he was in over his head. When investigators keep returning to the crime scene weeks after the event, it is definitely not a good look.
He won’t be recalled. He’ll probably get elected to higher office in that Dem stronghold.
Resume timeline ...
Your scenario pretty much tracks with mine, and is what I’ve suspected from the beginning.
It was apparent from the beginning that this guy was out of his depth. But, in his defense, there probably was not much he could do. IMHO, this was an abortive attempt by a drug cartel to export their lucrative ransom business to the US. They did not count on the incredible publicity this incident would receive, so they got cold feet, pulled back, got rid of her, and are pretending it never happened. They will never find her body. IMHO.
Most likely scenario.
I wonder if/when her pacemaker stopped pinging.

It might be smart to re-write laws or corporate policies to say that lying on your resume should carry absolutely no penalty and should not be a reason for termination -- but that HIRING someone who lied on their resume should be grounds for immediate firing and possible legal action. Make the hiring manager accountable for not doing due diligence.
Yeah, the whole investigation seemed backwards to me.
When they briefly released the crime scene back to the family and then proceeded to do subsequent investigating of it I knew something was way off.
IIRC he blocked the FBI from investigating.
Case in point, he sent DNA evidence to a private company in Florida instead of allowing the FBI to take it to Quantico.
Why in the hell would you not want to send DNA to a world class DNA lab if it was made available to you?
Even MY dumbass would know to do that. 🤷♂️

Dad always said, “when one pig squeals(gets noticed) the rest gang up on him.
Bingo! The media and family have done everything they can to hide any notion of MEXICO!!!
