The garrulous Arizona sheriff who has failed to find Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother has been spending more days pumping iron at the gym than at his desk, The Post can exclusively reveal.
Chris Nanos — the embattled lawman of Pima County leading the hunt for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie — was spotted at his office in Tucson just twice for a leisurely seven hours a day between Friday and Tuesday this past week.
Nancy, meanwhile, has been missing for 46 days — with Nanos and his deputies having yet to identify a suspect or otherwise meaningful lead in the elusive disappearance case.

The 70-year-old Dem, who at first endeared America with his tearful pleas for help, only to begin to contradict himself through public interviews as the case began to languish, hit the gym four times during the five day period, The Post has learned.

The 70-year-old Dem, who at first endeared America with his tearful pleas for help, only to begin to contradict himself through public interviews as the case began to languish, hit the gym four times during the five day period, The Post has learned.
The floundering Democrat has been under the microscope for his handling of the Guthrie case — including criticism that he’s been sending the wrong messages to the public about the case.
He’s also been panned for releasing Nancy’s Catalina Foothills home as a crime scene too quickly in the early days of her disappearance, using a private DNA analysis company instead of working more closely with the FBI, and not deploying critical resources like a search plane or cadaver-sniffing dogs.

Nanos is now facing a recall effort after critics branded his handling of the Guthrie case “an embarrassment” for the county.
He has insisted to NBC — “Today” show host Savannah’s network — that “investigators are definitely closer” to finding out who abducted Nancy from her home in the dead of night on Feb. 1.
Despite that, signs are piling up that the case has gone cold — and fading out of the public eye.

Nanos taking his foot off the gas?
A source close to the Guthrie family said Savannah and her brother and sister are still working with investigators — even as it appears Nanos has taken his own foot off the gas.
He was a no-show at work last Friday — and only left his house over the weekend to head to the gym.
Earlier this week, he arrived at the office, about 20 miles south of his sprawling home, just after 9 a.m. and left around 4 p.m., taking off in either his $70,000 convertible or his other car, a Ford Explorer.

Meanwhile, with the case now in its seventh week, the FBI has been busy re-canvassed Nancy’s neighborhood, hunting for footage from two specific dates prior to her kidnapping, NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported this week.
The reputable journalist said he’s finally returning home after being told there were no imminent leads.
