Why Nancy Guthrie hasn’t been found — from cops’ early errors to DNA blunder
NY Post
This week FBI sources said kidnapped Nancy Guthrie may be in Mexico, while the Pima County, Arizona, Sheriff claimed his team’s evidence puts her in Tucson.
It’s just one of many rifts between the local cops and the feds, which critics say is a major reason why little progress has been made in finding “Today” host Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom, who was abducted from her home on Feb. 1.
“[The FBI] should have taken the case over within the first few days. We have been treating this as a kidnapping and the FBI is the premier agency to deal with kidnappings,” Aaron Cross, president of the Pima County Deputies Association, told The Post earlier this week.
But hard-headed Pima Sheriff Chris Nanos is keeping a tight grip on the case, even though it’s been over a week since recovered doorbell footage of a masked man at Guthrie’s door was revealed, and cops are no closer to finding her.
Here’s how the evidence in the case has been handled — and bungled — in the desperate search for answers.
The FBI wasn’t called in for the first couple of days, despite the high-profile abduction needing resources beyond what Tucson can offer, critics say.
