Kash Patel blames Arizona cops for sidelining FBI in Nancy Guthrie abduction case
Patel said the bureau could have tested DNA sooner and deployed agents earlier, but local authorities kept it out of the case for four days.
- On Tuesday, FBI Director Kash Patel claimed the Pima County Sheriff's Department sidelined the FBI for four days during the Nancy Guthrie investigation, preventing immediate access to critical evidence.
- Alleging missed opportunities, Patel stated he offered to fly DNA evidence to Quantico but the sheriff chose a Florida lab instead, asserting the FBI could have recovered Google data days earlier.
- Nancy Guthrie went missing from her Tucson home on February 1, prompting her daughter, Today anchor Savannah Guthrie, and siblings to urge residents to share observations regarding the kidnapping.
- Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos disputed Patel's account, stating his department and the FBI Laboratory have 'worked in close partnership from the outset' regarding evidence analysis.
- Despite multiple searches, analyzed DNA, and alleged ransom notes, investigators have named no suspects in connection with Nancy's disappearance, leaving the case unresolved as Tucson residents continue seeking answers.
