Fresh controversy has erupted around the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie. A Pima County official has accused Sheriff Chris Nanos of “scolding” her office over cooperation with the FBI.
According to Newsweek, Pima County Assessor Suzanne Droubie claimed Nanos became frustrated after learning her office had complied with a federal request for information linked to the case.
Guthrie disappeared from her home outside Tucson, Arizona, on January 31 and was reported missing the next day. Authorities have said she was taken against her will, and blood drops were discovered on her front porch.
Droubie told the Arizona Republic that she contacted Nanos as a courtesy after sharing information with the FBI. While she declined to reveal what was provided, citing the ongoing investigation, she alleged the sheriff was upset over the additional leads investigators would now need to pursue.
“It was inferred that we were creating a lot of additional work for the Sheriff's Department,” Droubie said, adding that Nanos appeared frustrated by the need to follow up on new information.
