Sheriff Chris Nanos blasts FBI's Kash Patel over 'misinformation' in case

Key Points:

• Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos accused FBI Director Kash Patel of spreading inaccurate information about the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, stating Patel received incorrect details early on and that misinformation harms the case.
• Nanos refuted Patel’s claim that local investigators delayed contacting the FBI, noting they have never met or spoken and that the same investigative team has been working on the case daily since the beginning.
• Investigators are using familial genealogy in the search, with Nanos suggesting the responsible party may still be in the Tucson area, and he declined to confirm whether Guthrie is believed to be dead.
• Nanos denied reports of friction between law enforcement and the Guthrie family, stating there is no indication of frustration from the family toward investigators.
• Guthrie, 84, went missing on February 1, and a combined reward of over $1.2 million is being offered for information, with authorities urging anyone with knowledge to contact the FBI or Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
