Arizona’s Pima County Sheriff’s Department has defended the investigators tasked with finding Nancy Guthrie following her disappearance last month, despite authorities facing constant criticism over their proceedings.
It’s been over a month since Nancy, 84, vanished, first reported missing from her Tucson area home in Arizona on February 1, and still, authorities haven’t seemed to get any closer to locating her. FBI agents are now beginning to be blamed for seemingly not taking the right measures to solve Nancy’s disappearance case, as they’ve previously been condemned for wasting time after a neighbor of Nancy’s shared that they spent “four hours” at their neighbor’s house.
Since then, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, which has been very involved in Nancy’s disappearance case, has come out to tackle the backlash head-on.
“The Pima County Sheriff’s Department continues to analyze various forms of evidence in the Nancy Guthrie case, including material from laboratories as well as images and videos captured by cameras. At this time, we will not comment on the details or status of this analysis,” a statement from the sheriff’s department read.
More attention has been brought to how authorities are handling Nancy’s disappearance case most likely because of NewsNation’s Brian Entin’s YouTube series, Brian Entin Investigates.

During a recent episode that premiered on YouTube on March 12, the reporter covered how authorities allegedly “wasted” time when they dedicated hours toward investigating one of Nancy’s neighbors’ homes.
Brian discussed this perspective with retired FBI agent Steve Moore, sharing with him that he’d interviewed one of Nancy’s neighbors who had lived in the area for “decades.”
Brian claimed that the neighbor’s “sister lives down the street” from Nancy, and said that the Friday after she went disappeared, “two people showed up to her sister’s house, identified as FBI, asked to come inside.”
Also, Brian went on to claim that the authorities wanted to “ask some questions in her house, wanted to look in the garage, asked if she had a pacemaker, and then left.”

Nancy neighbor’s sister reportedly thought the entire situation to be “strange” and called her family, who said, “You should just call the police if you think there was something weird about it.”
Allegedly, the sister contacted 911, over the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI reportedly paying her a visit.
“They ended up spending four hours there, taking fingerprints, they DNA swabbed her, and said, ‘We don’t believe these were real FBI agents,'” Brian revealed. “And this was right in the beginning, just days after Nancy went missing. I’m surprised I hadn’t heard about this until now, but it was a four-hour ordeal. They leave, she goes to bed frightened, thinking, ‘Oh my god, I let these people in my house.'”
