Did authorities downplay their ties to Mexico in the Nancy Guthrie case? Ex-lieutenant’s shocking theory, ‘It took a huge amount of effort to…’

Dave Smith, a retired lieutenant and law enforcement consultant with the Arizona Department of Public Safety, told Fox News Digital that authorities may have downplayed the alleged Mexican ties in the Nancy Guthrie case to prevent the FBI from getting involved. This is after the director of the F.B.I. Kash Patel claims FBI ‘kept out of investigation’ It’s been several days.

Smith noted that the man captured in surveillance footage from Nancy Nestor’s doorbell camera appeared to be wearing a “Mexican carry” style holstered handgun.

“My first thought is always Mexico where major crimes occur because it’s a great safe haven and it’s hard for us to follow,” Smith said. “But in this case, it was clear that someone was taken on purpose. I think that’s why we need to wonder, maybe she was taken to Mexico?”

“My personal theory is that if Mexico was suspected, it would become a federal investigation,” Smith added. “There seems to be a lot of effort to get the federal government involved in this case. The best thing to do is deny the possibility of any interstate or international transportation of bodies or kidnapping.”

Smith noted that Nancy’s community is only about 60 miles from the border town of Nogales.

“You cross the border, on the Arizona side, and it’s a small town, a relatively small town,” he said. “Across the border is the main urban area, with a population of 300,000.”

Smith added that this can make it easier for them to integrate.
