Nancy Guthrie update: Pima County Sheriff faces criticism, Savannah quietly takes big step

according to American Sun, A source close to the family said Savannah “has told everyone involved that the search will continue as long as necessary.” The insider added: “She is not ready to stop looking for her mother. She feels that the official investigation alone is no longer enough — which is why she has invested so heavily in private investigators and outside experts.”

The personal team she assembled includes former federal agents, security experts and professional investigators who are “leaders on the job every day,” sources said.

“As time went on, she became increasingly frustrated with the changes in the way authorities communicated,” one insider said. “What once felt like an emergency started to feel more routine.”

She reportedly broke down when she was told she would no longer have direct contact with the sheriff. “She feels the family has been pushed further away from the center of the investigation,” the source continued.

Another insider said money was not the issue. “Now, it’s worth every dollar spent to help bring her mother home. So far, the cost has climbed into the mid-six figures. Remember, Savannah has been willing to pay ransoms, so spending big bucks on a search is nothing new to her.”

The case intensifies criticism of Nanos’ past record and handling of department problems, with him allegedly resigning in lieu of firing in 1982, earlier than stated on his resume. His office called the differences “administrative in nature.”

Efforts to remove him failed despite officials referring possible perjury concerns to Arizona’s attorney general. The Pima County Deputy Sheriff’s Organization also called for his resignation in March.
