Since then, fans have continued to shower love on the 54-year-old as she deals with the distress of her mother's disappearance.
Pima County Sheriff Under Fire
More than three months since the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department, the two investigating authorities, have not been able to make any major headway. Amid that, the Pima County Sheriff, Chris Nanos, is facing massive criticism from local authorities.
On Sunday, CBS News reported that the two Pima County supervisors are planning to move against the sheriff, forcing him to step down from his post. However, the push to remove him is not related to the Nancy Guthrie case.

Per CBS, it concerns allegations that Sheriff Nanos perjured himself in a deposition in a separate lawsuit. They allege that Chris Nanos lied about his suspension while he was a police officer in El Paso, Texas. The report noted citing El Paso Police Department records that Nanos was suspended several times over allegations of using “unnecessary violence” on the job.
Dr. Matt Heinz of the Pima County Board of Supervisors claimed that Nanos has "lost the confidence of the community." He said: "He has embarrassed himself. And it’s time for him to go.”
Nanos' attorneys, however, has denied the allegations. They said in a statement: “Sheriff Nanos did not understand the question related to discipline with a different agency not governed by the Arizona Peace Officer’s Bill of Rights. In reviewing the transcript shortly after his deposition, Sheriff Nanos spotted the misunderstanding and promptly notified his attorney.”
