Local officials in Pima County, Arizona, want to remove Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is leading the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. They say Nanos lied about his past police suspensions in El Paso, Texas, and have lost confidence in him. Nanos denies intentionally lying and says there was a misunderstanding.
Key Facts
Sheriff Chris Nanos is leading the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance from Tucson, Arizona.
Two Pima County supervisors plan to file a motion to remove Nanos if he does not step down by Tuesday, which is 100 days since Guthrie vanished.
Officials accuse Nanos of lying under oath about being suspended as a police officer in El Paso before joining Pima County.
El Paso police records show Nanos was suspended multiple times for issues including “unnecessary violence” and tardiness.
An attorney for Nanos said he misunderstood the deposition question about his past discipline and notified his lawyer after realizing the mistake.
FBI Director Kash Patel criticized Nanos for delaying FBI involvement in the Guthrie case, but the sheriff’s department says FBI was involved early on.
Officials say their effort to remove Nanos is based on his past record, not on his handling of the Guthrie investigation.
