Finding Nancy: The Nancy Guthrie Investigation

Two hundred and forty-one deputies. Not one voted to keep him. Every ballot cast said the same thing: we don't trust the man running the search for Nancy Guthrie. The Board of Supervisors responded unanimously — invoking a state statute, demanding sworn statements, threatening removal. Supervisor Heinz called the 42-year career "fruit of a poison tree."And then Nanos said he'll comply. Which, under the law the board invoked, may be enough to stay. The removal mechanism is triggered by refusal — not by what he says. If he shows up and answers, even badly, the board may not have a legal path to force him out through this process. County attorneys are working on that right now. April 7 is the next board meeting. That's when this either means something — or it doesn't.You've been watching every development. And you keep coming back to the same question. What does any of this mean for Nancy?She has been gone for nearly two months. No arrest. No confirmed suspect. Ransom notes that couldn't be verified. DNA that matched no one in the national database. Searches scaled back. A tip line gone quieter. And Nanos keeps standing at microphones saying they're getting closer. He has been saying that for weeks.Robin Dreeke spent his career at the top of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. He knows what that kind of statement from a podium actually signals. He knows what real investigative momentum looks like — and what it looks like when it isn't there. He takes your questions and gives you the answers this community deserves.Nancy deserves more than "we're getting closer."

The man who has been standing at the podium telling the public what investigators know about Nancy Guthrie — controlling what gets said, what gets shared with the FBI, what the public is allowed to understand about the search for an 84-year-old woman who requires daily medication and has been missing for weeks — just had 300 of his own deputies pass a unanimous no-confidence vote and call for his immediate resignation.This week on Hidden Killers, Tony Brueski and retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke address the full picture of where this investigation stands — and who is running it.In December 2025, six weeks before Nancy disappeared, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos sat in a sworn deposition and told an attorney he had never been suspended in forty years of law enforcement. His actual El Paso Police Department employment file shows eight suspensions, 37 days without pay, and a robbery suspect named Carlos Urias who ended up in intensive care after allegedly being kicked in the head during an arrest — a 15-day suspension. Nanos resigned from El Paso in 1982 under discipline. His résumé listed 1984.The Pima County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to compel sworn reports from Nanos under oath. Non-compliance means removal from office. Supervisor Matt Heinz called his record "based on fraud." His own deputies voted unanimously to demand he resign.And Nancy Guthrie is still missing.The FBI is reportedly asking specifically about people who moved out of Nancy's neighborhood before she disappeared. The family is going directly to Tucson residents, asking them to search their memories. January 11th — weeks before Nancy vanished — keeps surfacing as a date that the people who love her believe matters. Law enforcement has said nothing about it publicly.Robin Dreeke spent his career in the FBI reading the spaces between what people say and what the record shows. That skill matters right now. Because what the record shows about the man running this investigation is something everyone following this case needs to understand.Nancy deserves better. Her family deserves answers. We are not letting this go quiet.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

She is 84 years old. She requires daily medication. She has been gone for weeks. And the man who has been standing at the podium — controlling what investigators share with the public and the FBI about what happened to Nancy Guthrie — has been exposed for allegedly misstating his own law enforcement history in a sworn deposition.This week on Hidden Killers, we are asking the questions that the people who love Nancy Guthrie deserve to have answered. Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI Behavioral Analysis Chief Robin Dreeke and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer for a direct, unflinching look at where this investigation actually stands.The ransom deadlines passed with no follow-through. Robin Dreeke explains what that tells you about who took her and what they actually want. FBI veterans are now publicly questioning whether the ransom motive was ever real. If it wasn't, the search for Nancy Guthrie may be built on a framework that needs to be dismantled and rebuilt from the ground up.New footage from Nancy's property — backyard, fence line, driveway — was reviewed and recovered nothing. The masked figure at her front door remains the only image released. The crime scene was reportedly processed and released earlier than standard protocol allows — while reporters were still walking up to her front door. Evidence went through a private lab. Chain of custody has been publicly challenged. And Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos now faces a formal recall over an allegedly misstated sworn employment record.The question nobody in law enforcement will say out loud — with no medication, with weeks gone by — gets asked and answered here directly, and with the care that Nancy's family and the people who love her deserve.She matters. This case matters. We are not letting it go quiet.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The sheriff running Nancy Guthrie's disappearance case just watched his own deputies vote 241-0 to demand his resignation. Not one person in his department voted to continue under his leadership. Zero.That same week, the Pima County Board of Supervisors invoked a little-known state law to require Sheriff Chris Nanos to testify under oath — with removal from office on the line if he refuses. Supervisor Matt Heinz called his 42-year career in Pima County "fruit of a poison tree" and said the revelation that followed was "disqualifying."Here's what prompted that: in a sworn December deposition, Nanos was asked whether he had ever been suspended as a law enforcement officer. He said no. Records obtained by the Arizona Republic from the El Paso Police Department tell a different story — eight suspensions, thirty-seven days without pay, a robbery suspect hospitalized in intensive care, a grand jury, and a resignation submitted under pressure in 1982 to avoid termination. Nanos says he interpreted the question as referring only to his Pima County career.Heinz's response: that answer could require reopening every case Nanos contributed to over four decades in this department.The recall drive is underway. The board's mechanism is live. And the man at the center of all of it says he'll comply with the board's order — which may be precisely the move that keeps him in place, since the statute's removal power only triggers if he refuses.Nancy Guthrie's family deserves to know exactly who has been at that podium. This episode lays it out completely.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

It keeps coming in, worded different ways by different people, but always landing in the same place.Is she still the priority?Not in the press conference sense. Not in the "we haven't given up" sense. Really — with the man in charge of this investigation fighting for his professional life, with deputies voting against him, with supervisors drafting compliance orders and recall signatures being gathered — is Nancy Guthrie getting what she deserves from the people who are supposed to be finding her?That question is at the heart of this episode.Robin Dreeke isn't here to offer comfort that isn't earned. He spent his career inside institutions like the ones we're talking about, and he is here to answer your questions honestly. Whether FBI involvement creates real investigative space when county leadership is in crisis. Whether the tip line going quiet means what it feels like it means. Whether "we're getting closer" — said week after week from the same podium, with the same cadence — means anything at all anymore.Because here is what the community around this case understands better than anyone watching from the outside: the window for certain kinds of investigative momentum doesn't stay open forever. And the people closest to Nancy — her family, her community, the people who have been leaving yellow flowers outside her home and sharing every tip they can — deserve honest answers about where things actually stand, not reassurances designed to manage public perception.Your questions, answered directly by someone qualified to answer them. Because Nancy Guthrie deserves more than a podium and a press release.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

You've been following this case since it broke. You've watched the press conferences, tracked the updates, shared the tip line, and held on to hope for Nancy Guthrie — not as a headline, but as a person. An 84-year-old woman taken from her home in the night. A family living through something none of us can fully imagine.And now this.The man in charge of finding her is fighting for his own survival at the same time. His deputies — the people who know him best, who see him every day — voted against him. Unanimously. The county's supervisors are drafting compliance orders. A recall is in motion. And the records that surfaced about his past — decades of undisclosed disciplinary history from his El Paso career — have the community around this case asking a question they can't let go of:If you couldn't trust what he said about himself, what can you trust about what he says about this investigation?This episode doesn't leave that question unanswered.Retired FBI Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program Chief Robin Dreeke is here with your questions — the ones the Nancy Guthrie community has been sending in, the ones that reflect how much you care about this woman and this case. What his behavior signals. What silence from someone in power actually means. What it costs a person psychologically to maintain a false version of themselves inside the same institution for forty years. And whether, after everything, he still believes his own story.This is for everyone who keeps sending the same message: someone needs to ask the hard questions.We're asking them.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie's family hasn't stopped. Seven weeks in, they've stopped waiting for the investigation to reach people and started doing it themselves — going directly to the Tucson community, asking neighbors and residents to reach back into their memories and think carefully about what they saw in the days and weeks before Nancy disappeared.Robin Dreeke and I went through the questions this community has been sending us, because you have been paying attention — and your questions matter.The FBI is now reportedly asking specifically about people who moved out of Nancy's neighborhood before she disappeared. Someone in that community may have seen something and not yet understood how significant it is. If you were in that area around the time Nancy vanished — think carefully. Talk to someone.The family keeps calling out January 11th. Three weeks before she disappeared, something happened that the people who knew Nancy best believe is important. Law enforcement has not addressed it publicly. If that date means anything to you — if you noticed something, heard something, saw someone behaving unusually — please contact Tucson law enforcement. What seems small to you may not be small to this investigation.Seven weeks ago, a family started waiting for news about Nancy. They're still waiting. The Tucson community has shown up for her throughout this. Keep showing up. Keep talking. Keep sharing this.If you have information about the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, please contact the Tucson Police Department or the Pima County Sheriff's Department.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forty-seven days since Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home in Tucson. No arrest. No named suspect. No press conference. And the man running this investigation just had his record exposed in a way that demands a full accounting.In December 2025 — six weeks before Nancy disappeared — Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos sat in a sworn deposition and told an attorney he had never been suspended in his law enforcement career. The Arizona Republic then obtained his actual employment file from the El Paso Police Department. Eight suspensions. Thirty-seven days without pay. Twenty-six internal affairs allegations. A robbery suspect who ended up in the ICU following an arrest and filed formal assault charges. A grand jury. And a resignation in lieu of termination in 1982 that he allegedly buried under a résumé carrying multiple inaccuracies for four decades.This episode walks through the complete record — every El Paso incident documented, the unexplained two-year gap, the résumé discrepancies his department called clerical errors, and the full Pima County history that followed. A federal investigation into his own department. A mishandled sexual assault case with four AG-confirmed policy violations. The suppression of political opponents weeks before an election. And now a formal recall with 120 days on the clock.Nancy Guthrie is still missing. Her family deserves to know who has been standing at that podium.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Forty-seven days. Nancy is still gone. Her family is still waiting. And this week, the man who has stood at those podiums and spoken to cameras about what's being done to find her — was caught lying under oath about who he actually is.Records show the sheriff leading this investigation was pushed out of his previous law enforcement job — not resigned — with a disciplinary file that reportedly includes excessive force, insubordination, and off-duty gambling. He misrepresented that history in sworn testimony. His own deputies reportedly wanted to push for his removal themselves. They didn't, because they were afraid of what he'd do to them.This is the person controlling what the FBI knows. What evidence gets processed. What the family gets told.A formal recall is now in motion — 120 days, 120,000 signatures required. That process takes time. Nancy's family doesn't have that luxury.New camera footage from her home was reviewed this week: backyard, fence line, driveway. Nothing. The suspect doesn't appear on a single frame beyond one doorbell image. The FBI is reportedly questioning whether money was ever the real motive. If it wasn't, then investigators may have been looking at the wrong kind of person from the very beginning. January 24th has been flagged as a new date of interest alongside January 11th.The people who love Nancy deserve an investigation that isn't compromised. They deserve leadership that answers to the truth. And they deserve to know that the badge at the press conference isn't just protecting itself.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins to talk about what finding Nancy actually requires right now.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
