Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has confirmed that there is still evidence being withheld from the public in order to “protect” the investigation into Nancy Guthrie‘s disappearance.
Nanos spoke to local news outlet KOLD on Tuesday (May 12), where he was asked whether his department was withholding evidence. “Yes, absolutely there are,” he said. “But it’s not done because we got to keep it secret… It’s done because we got to protect our case.”
