Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is facing calls to vacate his job after allegations that he lied about his decades-old disciplinary record. The controversy revolves around an answer Nanos gave during a 2024 lawsuit, where he was asked whether he had ever been suspended during his law enforcement career. However, he had, in fact, been suspended multiple times for insubordination and inefficiency, and finally resigned in 1982 in lieu of disciplinary action after a dispute with a supervisor. Despite weeks of claiming to have strong DNA evidence and other promising leads, the sheriff’s department has yet to identify a suspect or put forward a compelling theory for why Nancy was abducted or where she could be.
