It has been more than three months since Today show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing on February 1, 2026, and the investigators still don’t have any official leads. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has been receiving a lot of flak for the same, and even experts and authorities have started questioning Sheriff Chris Nanos’ credibility in the search. Adding to the already heated debate, FBI director Kash Patel has made some new bombshell claims against the sheriff.
Sheriff Nanos refused the FBI’s assistance, says director Kash Patel
During a recent appearance on Hang Out with Sean Hannity, Kash Patel publicly claimed that local authorities wasted crucial time during the initial days of the investigation, significantly delaying the process. Speaking about the ongoing case, Patel revealed that the FBI had allegedly prepared immediate resources to fast-track the investigation, including an aircraft ready to transport DNA evidence from the scene directly to the bureau’s Quantico lab for urgent analysis. He said:
“It is a state matter. It’s a state and local law enforcement matter. What we, the FBI, do is say, ‘Hey, we’re here to help. What do you need? What can we do?’ And for four days, we were kept out of the investigation.”
