From Fox News: The sheriff investigating the apparent kidnapping of “Today” show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother was spotted sitting near the front row at a college basketball game Saturday night, even as Guthrie and her two siblings posted a plaintive plea on Instagram for the safe return of their mother.
Fox News Digital obtained photos of Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, who is facing increased scrutiny as the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance drags on, attending a matchup between the University of Arizona and Oklahoma State. Early Sunday morning will mark one week since Guthrie, 84, disappeared from her suburban Tucson home.
The source of the photos, who requested anonymity, slammed Nanos for attending the game while the search continues.
“I think it wasn’t a good move. This whole thing being so fresh and nationwide, maybe worldwide,” the source said. “I don’t think it was good for him to do it. He’s a major part of the investigation, so it didn’t look good to me. Very sad to see him at the Arizona basketball game.”
A video shows the sheriff among the crowd, standing up to leave as the came appears to have ended.
