“I spoke with an officer from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department last week, his name is Aaron Cross, and he described the level of chaos that first week after Nancy went missing,” Entin explained. “And there were communication failures within the department that also affected communications with the FBI.”

Entin mentioned the initial chaos that reportedly occurred at Nancy’s home, where her family was also present, and asked Moore how he handled the situation.

“You can’t have chaos at a crime scene like this,” Moore explained. “Obviously, all kinds of things are going to happen and people are going to be confused. But law enforcement comes in and you’re the ones who do this all the time. You shouldn’t act like this is your first time at a crime scene or the first time someone’s gone missing. And it’s certainly not these people.”

He added, “Being confused doesn’t mean ‘This is indeed a major crime, so we’re confused.'” It’s a sign of lack of preparation. “

How do law enforcement treat family members?

When asked about how law enforcement handles family members in situations like this when someone is missing, Moore said: “First of all, you need to get them in an emotional state so they can provide clear information. You immediately get them away from the person who’s working the case. Find someone who’s really good with people. Sit them down, give them some water, give them confidence – we’ve done this, this is what we do, we’re here to help you – now please write things down quietly and as carefully as you can. “Come down if you need to, but I’ll be here to listen to every word you say.” “

Moore explained that when this happens, the person responsible for the investigation is usually on the other side of the room or in an area away from the family.

“They were able to think about it and say, ‘What do we have?’ They were going to get information from investigators,” he said. “We had blood on our porch. “Okay, we’ve found the crime scene.” Then have someone set a perimeter, and someone responds with evidence on the way. We need to start interviewing people nearby. You are responsible for this. Just go for that. “

He added, “It seems to me like no one is in charge. If there’s chaos, that means no one is in charge and doesn’t know what they’re doing. Because if you have that person, they know how to compartmentalize everything.”
