The Issue

In Pima County, an urgent and heart-wrenching crisis is unfolding before our eyes. An 84-year-old woman, someone’s beloved mother and a cherished member of our community, has been kidnapped and remains missing. Her case is profoundly personal to us all, as it echoes the vulnerabilities we all fear for our loved ones.

In this critical moment, we place our trust in law enforcement to act swiftly and efficiently, but our confidence has been shattered by the actions of Pima County Sheriff Nanos. His approach to this urgent and high-profile investigation, which involves collaboration with the FBI, has been alarmingly unprofessional.

Sheriff Nanos has reportedly obstructed justice by denying the FBI access to essential information that could lead to the safe return of this elderly woman. Every moment is precious, and his interference not only jeopardizes the investigation but also diminishes the hope of reuniting this mother with her family.

The community is incensed by the mishandling of this case. Facts suggest that crucial time has been lost, opportunities missed, and the chances of finding this woman alive have dwindled due to a lack of cooperation and professionalism from the sheriff's office.

Allowing this type of negligence to go unchecked undermines both the safety and trust of all community members. We urge our local government and law enforcement agencies to intervene immediately. Sheriff Nanos must be held accountable for his actions, and if he continues to obstruct the investigation, he should be removed from his position immediately.

The time for action is now. We cannot afford to jeopardize another life or allow this tragic situation to persist. Stand with us in demanding accountability and decisive action to safeguard our community. Sign this petition to call for the removal of Sheriff Nanos and ensure justice and safety for our loved ones. Every signature counts towards bringing peace and justice to this grieving family and restoring trust in our law enforcement system.
