The Nancy Guthrie investigation took a major turn after Sheriff Chris Nanos publicly cleared the Guthrie family as suspects.
In a statement released by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, Sheriff Chris Nanos made it plain. Every sibling and spouse in the Guthrie family has been cleared. Period.
“To be clear…the Guthrie family, to include all siblings and spouses, has been cleared as possible suspects in this case,” Nanos said. He also stated that the family has been cooperative and gracious throughout the investigation.
That part matters.
Because while the Nancy Guthrie investigation continues, speculation has clearly been circulating. Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed that directly, saying the Guthrie family are victims in this case. He called it wrong and cruel to suggest otherwise.
He did not leave room for confusion.
“The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple…please, I’m begging you the media to honor your profession and report with some sense of compassion and professionalism,” he added.
That is a strong message from the top law enforcement official in Pima County.
