The sheriff leading the investigation in the Nancy Guthrie case is facing bipartisan calls for removal from the county board of supervisors. A Democrat and a Republican plan to move to vacate Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos’ office next week over allegations he lied about a history of suspensions and other disciplinary actions he received in the 1970s and 1980s as a member of the El Paso Police Department. “This is accountability for a guy who has evaded accountability for decades and is himself a public safety threat,” said Dr. Matt Heinz, a member of the Pima County Board of Supervisors.

As the community waits for news on Nancy Guthrie, they now find themselves watching a secondary drama unfold in the halls of power. Sheriff Nanos remains in his position for now, but the walls are closing in.

Will the Board of Supervisors succeed in ousting the veteran lawman? Or will Nanos find a way to weather the storm as he has for the last forty years? One thing is certain: in Pima County, the truth is no longer just about finding a missing woman—it’s about uncovering the secrets of the man wearing the badge.
