What happened
A new report from the Wall Street Journal, published Saturday night, brings to light several possible errors by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department during its search for Nancy Guthrie, which has seen little progress since it began in February. Personal records allegedly show that Stivers was reprimanded for “poor judgment” two months before the Guthrie case and was blamed for delays in securing crime-scene evidence in a homicide investigation. Popular on Variety People close to the case told The WSJ that Stivers and his team discovered dried blood on Guthrie’s front porch when they arrived at her home on Feb. After undergoing DNA testing, the blood was confirmed to be Guthrie’s and is now believed to be part of the case. The WSJ wrote that the sheriff’s deputies “failed to seal off the property with police tape to protect sensitive crime-scene evidence, allowing reporters, livestreamers, and Amazon and pizza delivery drivers entry to the porch.” The WSJ also reported that the department’s senior pilot was demoted following a workplace complaint days before Guthrie was kidnapped. I truly believe it is never too late to do the right thing.
