FBI reportedly clashes with Pima County sheriff over Guthrie case

The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department could clash Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, according to a new report.

The two agencies investigating the Guthrie case apparently disagreed on where the recently collected evidence should be analyzed.

Citing a police source, FOX News reported Thursday… FBI officials wanted DNA from Nancy’s home and other physical evidence sent to their crime lab in Quantico, Va., but Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos denied the request, sending the items to a private laboratory in Florida for examination.

In response to the FOX article, Sheriff Nanos told the NBC affiliate KVOA …the report is “not even close to the truth,” adding that his agency is cooperating with the FBI.

Among the items sent to the Florida laboratory were 2 gloves found on the side of a road about 1.5 miles from Nancy’s home in Tucson, where she was abducted. The gloves resembled those worn by the suspected kidnapper who was caught on a doorbell camera who is hiding in front of the front door of the house.

The FBI says the masked suspect is a man, 5′ 9″ to 5′ 10″ tall, of medium build who was carrying a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.

Alleged ransom notes were sent to several media outlets, including TMZ, demanding money in exchange for Nancy’s safe return.

Nancy has been missing since February 1 and was last seen by her family on the evening of January 31.
