Defending the Decision

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is standing by his decision to send DNA evidence in the Nancy Guthrie case to a lab in Florida. So far, it’s not led to a suspect, but Nanos says it was the right call.

Why Florida?

You might wonder why they’re sending evidence all the way to Florida. The simple answer is that the lab there has the expertise and technology to handle the type of DNA testing needed. It’s not like they’re just throwing darts at a board, hoping something sticks.

It’s worth noting that the lack of progress in the case is frustrating, but Nanos and his team are trying every avenue. It’s not a crime drama where everything gets wrapped up in an hour. Real life is messy, and it takes time to get results.
