Initial Nancy Guthrie investigative team was inexperienced: Source

(NewsNation) — The Pima County Sheriff’s team assigned to investigate Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance was lacking experience in homicide cases and made mistakes early in the investigation, an insider in the law enforcement community told NewsNation. 

NewsNation’s Brian Entin spoke with the insider under the condition of anonymity to protect their identity and avoid losing their job. 

“From what I understand, that the people that were there on the scene were not tenured homicide detectives,” the insider said, “They didn’t have a lot of experience in homicide at that point, to include the supervisor who, from my understanding, never investigated a homicide before being installed as the supervisor for the homicide unit.”

They added that inexperience led to decisions made early on during the investigation that have left the case unsolved to this day. 

“Well, see, you have decisions made by people that will install friends and people that can do stuff for them, opposed to people that are there under merit,” the insider said.
