Kash Patel Says the Sheriff Blocked the FBI From Nancy Guthrie Evidence
Kash Patel publicly embarrassed a sitting county sheriff over botched DNA evidence in a kidnapping case watched by the entire nation.
Now the FBI has the evidence the sheriff's office sat on for weeks – and 100 days later, Nancy Guthrie is still missing.
The question isn't whether the DNA will crack this case open.
Patel went on Sean Hannity's podcast May 5 and didn't mince words about Democrat Sheriff Chris Nanos' handling of the Nancy Guthrie abduction.
For the first four days after Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home on February 1, Patel said the FBI was shut out entirely.
"For four days we were kept out of the investigation," Patel told Hannity. "The first 48 hours of anyone's disappearance are the most critical."
When federal agents were finally let in, they immediately delivered – recovering doorbell camera footage by working directly with Google that showed a masked, armed man tampering with the camera the morning of the abduction.
"We could have gotten it days before," Patel said.
Then came the DNA.
Investigators recovered a strand from Guthrie's home that doesn't match her or anyone known to have been there – a potential gold-standard lead in a case that has produced virtually none.
Patel said the FBI offered to fly it to Quantico immediately.
"I had a fixed-wing aircraft on the ground ready to move it immediately through the night," Patel said. "And they said we're sending it to Florida."
The Florida lab held the evidence for weeks before it was finally transferred to the FBI." . . .
