The FBI was shut out of the Nancy Guthrie investigation for the first four days after the mother of the "Today Show" host Savannah Guthrie went missing, FBI Director Kash Patel claimed in a new interview. "For four days we were kept out of the investigation," Patel said on Sean Hannity's podcast of the FBI's lack of involvement in the initial days of the Guthrie investigation. "The first 48 hours of anyone's disappearance are the most critical." In a statement, the Pima County Sheriff Office said it was aware of Patel's statements in the podcast interview but said there was no delay in coordination with the FBI. "Sheriff Nanos responded to the scene the night of the incident, providing immediate local leadership and oversight. A member of the FBI Task Force was also notified and present at that scene working alongside our personnel. The FBI was promptly notified by both our department and the Guthrie family. While the FBI Director was not on scene, coordination with the Bureau began without delay," the statement says #crime #news #abcnews
