FBI Director Gives Update On Nancy Guthrie Case, Doubles Down On Claims Police Delayed Federal Help
FBI Director Kash Patel is doubling down on claims that local police delayed involving the FBI in the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Patel told NewsNation on June 4 that the FBI offered support to Pima County, Arizona, law enforcement as soon as Nancy was reported missing on February 1. Patel said, “We showed up immediately and offered our assistance. We were not let in for four days. And that’s their choice.” Questions have been raised over the past several months about decisions made by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, led by Sheriff Chris Nanos, including sending DNA evidence collected at Nancy’s home to a private Florida lab for testing instead of the FBI’s laboratory in Virginia. 'Us Weekly' has reached out to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department for comment.
