And just when you think the drama couldn’t thicken more, he claps back at critics who slam his department for supposedly botching the crime scene. Twenty hours of painstaking work, then the FBI swoops in to reseal the scene — talk about a plot twist! It’s a maddening, heartbreaking saga that tests patience and probity at every turn.

Nanos opened up about the devastating news his family dealt with in a conversation with The Daily Mail.
He explained dealing with the death of his brother could potentially explain why he was so sensitive to early accusations about Nancy’s daughter Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni.
Following the news of Nancy’s abduction, many people were quick to suspect Cioni had something to do with it.
Veteran journalist Ashleigh Banfield took it a step further, directly alleging he “may be the prime suspect‘ in her disappearance.
“People out there can get pretty ugly and mean and nasty and not have the facts,” Nanos said about the ordeal. “I tell my journalists, ‘You guys need to be a little more responsible… because that’s just really nasty stuff.'”
The sheriff also addressed his “haters” who claim he botched the investigation into Nancy’s disappearance by releasing the crime scene too prematurely, as the FBI ended up coming and deciding to reseal her home.
“My officers were there for almost 20 hours, and they processed their scene, got it done, and brought in all the evidence,” he stated. “Then the FBI came and did their thing.”
