Savannah Guthrie Tells Sheriff She Has Her 'People' And Doesn't 'Need Him' Over Bungled Search For Mom

Savannah Guthrie is seemingly frustrated with local sheriff officer, Chris Nanos, who is in charge of her missing mom, Nancy's case, after the department failed to come up with any meaningful leads.

Nanos came under fire for the way he handled the case and crime scene, amid accusations he's "further slowing" investigations by not using federal resources.

Reports suggest three suspects have already been detained in connection with Nancy Guthrie's disappearance after law enforcement carried out a search warrant close to the matriarch's home.

Savannah appears to be annoyed with Pima County Sheriff's officer Chris Nanos following the department's failure to come up with any viable leads in connection with her missing mom, Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.

According to reports, Nanos claimed to Fox News that he reached out to Savannah, but she responded that "she has her own people and didn't need him."

Since Nancy was abducted from her multimillion-dollar home in Tucson about two weeks ago, local sheriffs have launched coordinated search efforts with the aid of federal agents to find her.

Pima County has cameras around Nancy's home, but officials have noted that they can't be fully relied on to capture license plate details.

Law enforcement is also looking to identify a truck suspected of being connected to the abduction, but differing reports have claimed that the cameras around the area may not have captured the vehicle.

The revelation about Savanah's stance comes amid the intense backlash that has trailed Nanos after he appeared to have slipped up on multiple occasions.

Reports earlier surfaced suggesting a pair of gloves was recovered from Nancy's home, with investigators looking to conduct DNA testing on them. However, Nanos told Fox News correspondent Matt Finn on Friday that they "never found a glove" on her property.

He was also accused of blocking the FBI from examining a glove and DNA that were found inside the residence so that they could be processed at the FBI's national crime lab at Quantico, Virginia. Law enforcement sources claimed he instead sent the evidence for testing at a private lab in Florida.

Nanos has also been accused of "further slowing" the case because he refused to use federal resources, as well as prolonging the "Guthrie family's grief and the community's wait for justice," among others.

One time, he said Nancy was "harmed at the home" and taken from her bed, before walking back on his statement, admitting that he had misspoken.

Nanos has since denied the claims that he blocked the FBI from accessing DNA Evidence, telling KVOA that it is "not even close to the truth," while also noting that "quite a number" of gloves were found during the search, and they haven't deciphered "the true value of these gloves."

"Actually, the FBI just wanted to send the one or two they found by the crime scene, closest to it – mile, mile and a half... I said 'No, why do that? Let's just send them all to where all the DNA exists, all the profiles and the markers exist.' They agreed, makes sense," he told the news outlet on Thursday.

The leading law enforcement officer is an experienced officer and has been with the department for a long time.

However, he admitted that he is not used to the amount of scrutiny that has come with leading the investigation into Savannah's mom's disappearance.

In an update on Friday, the sheriff department revealed that DNA Evidence that didn't belong to Nancy or anyone "in close" contact with her had been recovered from her residence, and investigators are working on deciphering who it belongs to.

As the search for Nancy progresses, 3 people have reportedly been detained in connection with her suspected abduction after a SWAT team, in collaboration with the Pima County Sheriff's Office, carried out a search in a home near Nancy's house.

According to the New York Post, the officials executed a search warrant that was based on a tip, and carted 2 men away, alongside one of their mothers. It remains unclear if any of them is a suspect in the case.

Law enforcement released the details of a male suspected of being wanted in connection with the case, after he was seen on video recovered from Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera on the night she was abducted.

He's described as having an average build and an approximate height of 5-foot-9 or 5-foot-10.

Multiple ransom notes, in which the writers, suspected to be Nancy's abductor, have been sent to TMZ, where they made some demands in exchange for her freedom. However, the deadlines stated on the notes have since elapsed, leaving many wondering about the authenticity of the letters.

The FBI has also increased the reward from $50,000 to $100,000 for any information leading to Nancy's location or the arrest of anyone involved in her disappearance.
