Recall Push for Sheriff Over Guthrie Case

0:00On March 17th, a push to recall Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is gaining steam amid frustration over the unsolved disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. The 84-year-old mother of today's show host Savannah Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home on January 31st. She's described as a vulnerable adult with mobility issues, a pacemaker, and a need for daily heart medication. Now, Republican Congressional candidate Daniel Guthrie has kicked off the recall effort and is rallying volunteers. Guthrie says he's heard from upset deputies and locals who've lost faith in Nanos, especially since deputies feared backlash if they started the recall themselves. This comes alongside fresh questions about the sheriff's past. Reports show he recently updated his resume to reflect resigning from the El Paso Police Department in 1982 instead of 19. 84, though his office calls it, just clerical mistakes. Deputies have shown strong discontent with claims of a unanimous no-confidence vote last Friday and another earlier this year where nearly all of 86 respondents backed in.

To get the recall on the ballot, organizers need signatures from 25% of voters from the last election for the office and Nanos has held the post for over six months. But Chiarra's claims he's got an official serial number and 120 days to gather them. Meanwhile, the Guthrie case stays open with the FBI offering rewards up to $50,000 or even $100,000 for tips. Pressure on the sheriff keeps mounting as everyone waits for answers. Made in AI
