1
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:05,119
Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Welcome to a new episode of Legally Brunette.

2
00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: I will be your host Emily Simpson and Shane Just Shane.

3
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: Today we are going to discuss breaking news that Nancy

4
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: Guthrie is missing, story which I'm sure you've all heard

5
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 1: about unless you've been living under a rock, because it's

6
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: basically everywhere. So we would just want to talk about

7
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:24,720
Speaker 1: where we're at. There's been so much information that's been

8
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: coming out. Every time I look at what is my

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: new source, Instagram, Instagram. Every time I look at Instagram,

10
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 1: there's just a new update. And there was a press

11
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 1: conference today a couple hours ago. So I feel as

12
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: if we are bringing you the most recent developments. But

13
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: by the time we record this they'll probably they'll probably

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 1: be more. We'll be talking about it again. So eighty

15
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 1: four year old Nancy Guthrie is the mother of Today

16
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: co host Savannah Guthrie, and she remains missing from her

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: Tucson area home. Authorities continue to treat the case as

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: a criminal investigation. Investigators recently returned to her property, conducting

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: renewed searches with canine units and combing nearby wooded areas,

20
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 1: indicating new or ongoing leads. Law enforcement says evidence at

21
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: the home suggests that she was taken against her will,

22
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:20,240
Speaker 1: including biological DNA and blood near the entry and signs

23
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: of forced entry. No suspects or persons of interests have

24
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: been publicly identified, other than by what we were talking

25
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: about earlier by Ashley Banfield, but we'll talk about that

26
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: and a little bit. Authorities are investigating reports of ransom notes,

27
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,679
Speaker 1: some reportedly sent to media outlets. Savannah Guthrie and her

28
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: siblings released a public video appeal This was yesterday, asking

29
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: for proof of life and saying they are willing to

30
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 1: communicate if her mother is alive. I watched it. It

31
00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: was actually heartbreaking. It was Samantha and her sister and brother.

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: There's three siblings, and you know what I was thinking,

33
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 1: is so difficult in today's age? Is proof of life?

34
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean with AI.

35
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 2: Well that's what they said in their video.

36
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 1: Right and I and I But when they said that,

37
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: I thought that, how do I mean, at this point

38
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 1: in time, how do you have proof of life? Because

39
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: you can manipulate voices. You could say she's on the

40
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: phone and it could be her voice.

41
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: But well, the old days used to be held up

42
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 2: a newspaper and took a picture with it. So it

43
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: was like, this is the date. I'm alive on this day, right,

44
00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: But now, what are you going to do?

45
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: I mean you there are.

46
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 2: The time.

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like, what in today's age, right now,

48
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,760
Speaker 1: as of this moment, what could you do to prove

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: proof of life? Because I feel like everything could be.

50
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 2: Manipulated in or like a real time conversation, It.

51
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: Would have to be a real time FaceTime conversation where

52
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: you were asking, Well.

53
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: You could ask him a question that only that person

54
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 2: would know.

55
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: That's true.

56
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what you would do.

57
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, But I still feel like you would have to

58
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 1: have more than that because maybe these I don't know you, yeah, exactly.

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 2: Feel like what's your favorite song? And they'll be like, oh,

60
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,760
Speaker 2: it's I don't know what's your favorite? I don't know,

61
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: And then I'd be like, I don't know, is that

62
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 2: her favorite song? Yeah? I think it's her hurt.

63
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: So authorities are investigating reports of ransom notes. We talked

64
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: about that talked about proof of life, and the FBI

65
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: is assisting and federal resources have been offered official stress

66
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: urgency because Nancy got three requires daily medication, increasing concern

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: for her health and safety. Yeah, she's eighty four, and

68
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: we know that she has a pacemaker because that was

69
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: reported that you know, her pacemaker disconnected from her phone or.

70
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: Likely from being removed further away from her watch, her

71
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: phone or whatever it was, whatever device, and so it

72
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 2: lost contact, right and at almost two in the morning

73
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 2: or something.

74
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: Well, they released they did a press conference today, also

75
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: released a timeline. I looked at the timeline several times

76
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: because it's pretty specific, and I realized how much of

77
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: a digital age we live in that even her opening

78
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: the garage door and closing it like that was time

79
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: standing and then.

80
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 2: Her uber right, So it has drop off times, and.

81
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: So we know on January thirty first, at five thirty

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 1: two pm, Nancy travels to a local family member's home.

83
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: I believe that she had dinner with family that night.

84
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: Then at nine forty eight pm that night, this is

85
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: still in January thirty first, the family drops Nancy off

86
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: at home and the garage door opens. So there's some

87
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: digital footprint of the garage door opening. How do you

88
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: find that? Can you find that on your garage door?

89
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: Like we have an electric garage door.

90
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: I think it was her what time she got dropped off,

91
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 2: and what time she closed the garage door.

92
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: It was nine fifty But how do you how do

93
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: they know that? I'm saying they know specifically what time

94
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 1: the garage door opened and what time it closed. I'm

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:52,719
Speaker 1: just saying, does the garage.

96
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,479
Speaker 2: R connected her phone? You know? Yeah?

97
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 1: So then at nine to fifty pm the garage door closes.

98
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: Now the following morning, this is now February first, at

99
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: one seven am, a doorbell camera disconnects. That's scary. So

100
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: what that's a ring? Right? A ring camera?

101
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it rings a brand, but it's a doorbell camera.

102
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: Okay, And it disconnects. Then at two twelve am, software

103
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: detects a person on camera. However, there's no video available.

104
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: To the Emotion subscription. IT'SID motion detected, but they didn't

105
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 2: preserve the video because they didn't they didn't subscribe.

106
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,600
Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to come back to that because I

107
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,560
Speaker 1: want you to explain that. And then at two twenty

108
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:39,159
Speaker 1: eight am, the pacemaker app shows a disconnect from her phone,

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: which you were saying. It's a disconnect at two twenty

110
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 1: eight because she's outside the realm of the bluetooth being

111
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 1: able to pick it up right, so she's probably.

112
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: Sad thinking and if she was killed right then and there,

113
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: and therefore her heart's not beating, I'm guessing the pacemaker

114
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: still transmits some type of dat.

115
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,280
Speaker 1: Some type of information, but it's not transmitting any information, So.

116
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 2: She's outside not reaching the receiving end, yeah, like the

117
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: phone or watch or whatever it is.

118
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: Then at eleven fifty six am, the family checks on Nancy.

119
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: I believe that's because she was supposed to be at

120
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 1: church that morning and she didn't show up for church,

121
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: so then the family was they someone contacted the family

122
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 1: and said, you know, Nancy wasn't at church, and then

123
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 1: at twelve oh three pm they called nine to one one,

124
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: and then at twelve fifteen that's when the police arrive.

125
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: So that's the timeline. Now as far as the subscription, See,

126
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: this is what I don't understand because I'm not a

127
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: techie person at all, and you were just making fun

128
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: of me a minute ago saying that I don't even

129
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: know how to turn on a computer, which is not

130
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 1: an exaggeration. I literally don't know how to do anything

131
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: technical at all.

132
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: I just agree because you know anything about Instagram. Yeah,

133
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 2: but I never said, hey, here's a shopping app. Can

134
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: you help me install it and set it? Note you've

135
00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 2: never had a problem buying anything at a digital age,

136
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: so you can learn. You choose not to.

137
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: I choose not to. Shane, is the IT department our

138
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: home And so as far as there being no subscription,

139
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: that means that the ring or whatever type of doorbell

140
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: she has, it's just on a loop and it's not

141
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,359
Speaker 1: saving it.

142
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 2: You can just see live video. It's like a peephole.

143
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: You can see so right now you could log in

144
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 2: and see what's at your front door. But it's not

145
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 2: preserving it.

146
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: So what does that mean when it says it was disabled?

147
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: What did someone do?

148
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 2: They just they it's still connected to Wi Fi.

149
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: Okay, But my question is for someone whoever this is

150
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: this person of interests or whoever abducted her to disable it?

151
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: They are they inside the house at this point?

152
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: The doorbell is on the outside of the house.

153
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: That's what my question is. How do they how are

154
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: they disabling it?

155
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 2: They yank it off the wall and they they smash it.

156
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: So you're saying, that's oh, so it wasn't like some.

157
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: What do you think they do? They tapped in with

158
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,680
Speaker 2: some laptop and they were like, yes, sitting there like

159
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 2: mission and bunds.

160
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I pictured.

161
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 2: No, they yanked it off the doorframe and then they

162
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: took it with them.

163
00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: So you're saying they just removed it and then okay,

164
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: all right, well okay, but the takeaway from this is

165
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 1: that you should have a subscription if.

166
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,920
Speaker 2: You want to up your safety. She had a subscription.

167
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: It would have saved whatever video was captured. I don't

168
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:13,960
Speaker 2: know if they would have been on it. I don't

169
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 2: know if they came in from the back door and

170
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: then went to the front door without getting in front

171
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 2: of the camera and yanked it. I don't know, but

172
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:23,239
Speaker 2: it would have shown something something other than just motion

173
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: detected and then disabled. All right.

174
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: So then on Monday, February second, authorities officially upgrade the

175
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 1: case to a criminal investigation. The sheriff says evidence indicates

176
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,559
Speaker 1: she did not leave voluntarily, and the FBI joins the case.

177
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: We do know that there was blood found on the

178
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: front porch.

179
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: Like blood drops.

180
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,840
Speaker 1: It blood drops. I saw a photo of it. It

181
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: wasn't a large amount of blood, not enough for you

182
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: to say death, she's deceased. It was like dribbles of blood.

183
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: But then my question is what type of enjury occurred

184
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: that would make someone bleed, but not with an intent

185
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: to kill.

186
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:08,160
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not that far fetched.

187
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just so sadistic. So I think

188
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: someone just broke into this woman's.

189
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: Home, smacker on the head, and then they pull her out.

190
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 2: I don't know, it could have been anything.

191
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,719
Speaker 1: Then, on Tuesday, February third, the officials confirmed that the

192
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: DNA evidence was collected from inside the home and have

193
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: confirmed that her blood was found near the front door

194
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: as well. Officials are now saying that there's been no

195
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:31,839
Speaker 1: proof of life, and reports of a possible ransom note

196
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: start to emerge. Now that ransom note is just throwing

197
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: me for a loop because there's multiple ransom notes. As

198
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: far as what I understand.

199
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 2: I said the end of the day, I think they're

200
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,440
Speaker 2: just milking the opportunity.

201
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: Okay, so something, let's talk about the ransom notes. So

202
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 1: TMZ was the first to reveal details about a ransom note.

203
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 1: Investigators are saying this is the only note they're taking seriously.

204
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: But that doesn't make sense to me because there was

205
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: also another ransom note that came into a Tucson news

206
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 1: news station, and I saw them talking about it and

207
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: giving a report on it. And that ransom note has

208
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,680
Speaker 1: corroborating evidence in it that talks specifically about what the

209
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: inside of the house looks like and about what Nancy

210
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 1: was wearing that evening. So I don't know, but they're

211
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: saying the only note, ransom note they're taking seriously is

212
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:23,880
Speaker 1: such an MC one.

213
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know.

214
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: So TMZ reported that the note, which was sent to

215
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:32,920
Speaker 1: them Tuesday morning, demands a specific and very substantial amount

216
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: of bitcoin. The amount is in the millions, and the

217
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: note demands the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific bitcoin address.

218
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 1: TMZ has verified that the bitcoin address is real. Now,

219
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 1: how do you know? Can you? How can you have

220
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 1: an anonymous bitcoin address? And then how do you withdraw

221
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: from it? I'm this all this technology stuff is just

222
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 1: boggling my mind.

223
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,319
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe these, maybe both ransom notes are real.

224
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 2: Maybe it's like the criminals are just goofballs and they

225
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing. They're like, wait, you sin

226
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: a ransom? No I sent a ransom. No, Wait who

227
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: did you send yours? To? Wait? How much are you

228
00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: asking for That's what it was like.

229
00:11:08,880 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: I said it to TMZ.

230
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 2: Where did you say, it's like the three stooges, they

231
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,560
Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing.

232
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:16,080
Speaker 1: Well, I would hope for Nancy's sake that you're right,

233
00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 1: that it's just some dumb, dumb juices that abducted her,

234
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: and hopefully she's okay again. TMC has verified the bitcoin

235
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 1: address is real. I don't even understand what bitcoin is,

236
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 1: and I will tell you I own some bitcoin. I

237
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: bought some just because I just felt like it, because

238
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: it seemed like the thing to do, and it's actually increased.

239
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: I now have more bitcoin than I used to have.

240
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: But I don't know what it.

241
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: Is or how What is what is money? Really?

242
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: I don't even understand that content either, because it's like

243
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: paper money isn't really money. It has to be backed

244
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: by gold, right, So what is bitcoin?

245
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 2: It's just a digital currency.

246
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't understand bitcoin.

247
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 2: You don't need it understanding. I understand that she is missing,

248
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: I know, and there's a ransom note and they want

249
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 2: something for her.

250
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: There is a deadline connected to the alleged ransom, and

251
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: an element of or else the alleged ransom note. Else

252
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 1: what I don't know.

253
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 2: That means they don't have a plan. There's that that

254
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 2: almost sounds like a fake ransom note because they don't

255
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:19,960
Speaker 2: even know what to do.

256
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if they literally said or else,

257
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: because they're just not giving away actual what the verbiage

258
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: actually is. They're just summarizing it was a large amount

259
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,800
Speaker 1: of money. Well, you know, they're not doing that publicly

260
00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: because they want to be able to you know, they

261
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 1: don't want to give too much information about the ransom note,

262
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,680
Speaker 1: the alleged I like how they called alleged ransom note

263
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: because we're not talking.

264
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 2: About like validity. Is alleged r note exists?

265
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,079
Speaker 1: So are we saying TMZ?

266
00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 2: I don't believe it much from TMZ really.

267
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 1: Is so the alleged ransom note also describes another item

268
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: the sender says was damaged at her Tucson area at home. See,

269
00:12:57,120 --> 00:13:00,240
Speaker 1: now that's that's corroborating if they talk about some that

270
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,719
Speaker 1: was damaged when they abducted her.

271
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, unless it's an inside job.

272
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:05,880
Speaker 1: What is inside job?

273
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 2: Like what if it's like a police officer it was

274
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 2: like in on it and he's like, oh sweet, I

275
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 2: know this is broken. I know she was wearing this.

276
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:13,599
Speaker 2: I'm going to send a ransom.

277
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 1: Oh you're saying like someone involved in the investigation is

278
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 1: making ransom notes on the side, trying to make some

279
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,320
Speaker 1: trying to get some bitcoin.

280
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: Like the housekeeper grounds keeper. I don't know they forwarded

281
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 2: for they should, They should do a little combing of

282
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 2: the who'sn't working in the area and see if anyone's

283
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: from the Boston PD. Yes, because they're.

284
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: Shady, right, they forwarded the alleged ransom demand to the

285
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:42,960
Speaker 1: Pima County Sheriff. Then now we Pema County, Pema County,

286
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:47,199
Speaker 1: p I m A Pema. On Wednesday, February fourth, CNN

287
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,559
Speaker 1: came out with more reports on the note as well,

288
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 1: and anchor Mary Coleman appeared on CNN's Aaron Burnett out

289
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: Front to reveal information about the alleged ransom note the

290
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: station received. See this is where I question, is this

291
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: the same ransom note that also went to TMZ or

292
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 1: is this a different ransom note?

293
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 2: This is where I don't know.

294
00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: So, Coleman said, she is a news anchor that works

295
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: at this news station that received a ransom note. There

296
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,520
Speaker 1: are a few things that we can share as far

297
00:14:18,559 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: as what the contents were, a lot of it is

298
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: information that only someone who is holding her for ransom

299
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: would know, some very sensitive information and things that people

300
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 1: who were there when she was taken captive would know. See.

301
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,840
Speaker 1: I find that interesting because in the press conference the

302
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: police said that they only are taking the ransom note

303
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: from that the TMZ ransom note is the only one

304
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:41,640
Speaker 1: they're taking. Seriously. However, this news anchor is talking about

305
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: the ransom note that the news station received and saying

306
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: that it has corroborating would.

307
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 2: Make you think that's two different notes, two.

308
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: Different notes, or why are the police not.

309
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: Saying a photocopy of the other?

310
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, she continued, So those are things that

311
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: are concerning. We immediately sent that information over to the

312
00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: sheriff's to apartment. Additionally, Coleman said a detective asked for

313
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: more information about an IP address for the email. She

314
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: also confirmed that the ransom letter included a dollar amount

315
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 1: as well as a deadline and other specifics that only

316
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:18,440
Speaker 1: Guthrie's abductor might know. So that definitely raised some red flag.

317
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 1: So again there's my question, are.

318
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 2: We talking by email?

319
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: It was by email?

320
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 2: Okay? So it wasn't like the where they cut up

321
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: the little magazine letters. Now that's old school.

322
00:15:28,280 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: That's old school. They don't do that anymore.

323
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 2: They won cryptocurrency.

324
00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:33,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, they went bitcoin and they sent emails.

325
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: Yeah okay.

326
00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: Also on Wednesday, February fourth, investigators returned to Nancy's home

327
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: with K nine units and an online prayer vigil for

328
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 1: Nancy was held. So here we are currently, where are

329
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: we at? Savannah Guthrie? This is the daughter has issued

330
00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 1: a public plea for the safe return of her mother.

331
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,240
Speaker 1: In a video released with her siblings, the family address

332
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: reports of potential ransom messages, asking anyone involved to confirm

333
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: that Nancy Guthrie is alive, and stating we are ready

334
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: to listen, you know. That says we're ready to negotiate.

335
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: That says we got your ransom letters. There are some

336
00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: things that are concerning in them. Is what I would

337
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:23,160
Speaker 1: take away from that that there's information that seems specific

338
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,640
Speaker 1: and knowledgeable only to someone that would have been there.

339
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:30,760
Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie has said that her mother suffers from chronic

340
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: pain and depends on daily prescription medication, heightening fears about

341
00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 1: the risk that she faces while she is missing. P

342
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 1: MC County's Sheriff Chris Nanos, held a press conference earlier

343
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: today to share the latest information. During the news conference,

344
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: Heath Jenkie, who is the FBI Phoenix's Special Agent in charge,

345
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: confirmed that one arrest was made regarding an impostor ransom note.

346
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 1: See that's my question. If one is an impostor, I'm

347
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: going to assume the one that went to the police

348
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 1: station is possibly the.

349
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:05,040
Speaker 2: I read that both were sent to the police station,

350
00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 2: because I think that's probably a good protocol. And I

351
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 2: think right now, I think they're not They're purposely not

352
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 2: providing all the information publicly, like that's not their concern,

353
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 2: and plus THEYD to verify things. What if these two

354
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,000
Speaker 2: ransom notes were written by people that are connected. So

355
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're being very careful in what

356
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 2: they're allowing the public to know. And that's why we

357
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 2: don't know everything right now about these two ransom notes,

358
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,280
Speaker 2: right Like I so, I think your questions are valid.

359
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,800
Speaker 2: Are they the same, are they different? Blah blah blah,

360
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 2: And I think what you said is all we know

361
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 2: right now.

362
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: Well, it's very difficult to connect all the dots right

363
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: now because they are giving a very limited amount of information,

364
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,400
Speaker 1: like you said, So it's like we have these conclusions.

365
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: There's a ransom note. TMZ got a ransom note, this

366
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,439
Speaker 1: news station got a ransom note, but it's hard to

367
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: figure out what was said, which one is the imposter,

368
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: which one is.

369
00:17:56,920 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: They're still looking for suspects, so even if they think, hey,

370
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:01,439
Speaker 2: this one's fake, but maybe they don't want to tell

371
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:05,320
Speaker 2: people because maybe they wanted to weed out more people suspects.

372
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,639
Speaker 1: I don't know. So the special Agent in charge of

373
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: this case confirmed that one arrest was made regarding an

374
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,160
Speaker 1: impostor ransom note. The FBI is now offering a fifty

375
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,560
Speaker 1: thousand dollars award for information that will help find Nancy. Now,

376
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: that was they found. If they arrested someone, that means

377
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: they figured out that the note was an impostor, figured

378
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 1: out who sent it, found the person, and arrested them.

379
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:28,680
Speaker 1: That was quick.

380
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because it's digital. Someone just typed up a

381
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 2: note and dropped it off at the station, news station

382
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: and police station. The old school was like, where did

383
00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:43,400
Speaker 2: this paper come from? Okay? But then what typewriter was used?

384
00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,120
Speaker 2: Were the typewriter?

385
00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 1: Okay? But here's my question. If that person was so

386
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: easily found. Then the person who sent the ransom note

387
00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 1: to TMZ the one that they're saying is legitimate that

388
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: they're taking seriously. They haven't arrested anyone connected with that.

389
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 2: That means because the fake one is by some sloppy

390
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 2: meth head trying to get a few bucks. He's trying

391
00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 2: to get some bed. The one is a little bit

392
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 2: more thought out.

393
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: Is the actual abductor, is what we would conclude at

394
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:10,480
Speaker 1: this point, the FBI agent said, in regards to the

395
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: ransom note, the one that went to the media is

396
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: the one we're currently investigating and working on. The impostor

397
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: that I talked about, where an arrest was made early

398
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: this morning, that there will be more information. We believe

399
00:19:21,880 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: there is no evidence to connect this to Nancy's case.

400
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,159
Speaker 1: It was someone that was trying to profit from it,

401
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 1: a total impostor. As the search moves into its fifth day,

402
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:35,760
Speaker 1: concern for Guthrie's health continues to intensify. The Pima County

403
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:38,239
Speaker 1: sheriff reiterated at the press conference that there are no

404
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 1: suspects and no persons of interest at this time. You know,

405
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:45,440
Speaker 1: that is what they said publicly on the record. However,

406
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: I don't know. If you listen to Ashley Banfield, she

407
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:52,679
Speaker 1: did do. She came out publicly and said that the

408
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: son in law was a person of interest, and I

409
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: don't think she's recanted that at all, but.

410
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 2: That she's basing on what she's coming across. Well, I

411
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: I mean, that's not an officially announced anything, right.

412
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: No, it's not officially announced by the police. It's officially

413
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: announced by Ashley Banfield. But I'm saying she's well connected

414
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:15,960
Speaker 1: in the area of crime, true crime, cops, attorneys, the whole,

415
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,760
Speaker 1: all the inside information. So the fact that she came

416
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: forward and said that, I don't know, we shall see.

417
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 2: Because she's also the one that said it's camera's not camera?

418
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: What does that mean?

419
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 2: Oh, when you put an S on the end of

420
00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: a noun, it's plural.

421
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: No, I understand, but I don't know what you're What

422
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:32,600
Speaker 1: is that meaning?

423
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,879
Speaker 2: More than one camera was taken from the property and disabled.

424
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 2: That's what she says. Her source said, okay, And she

425
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,080
Speaker 2: also says that her source, meaning it's not public, it's

426
00:20:42,160 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 2: just her right. But the back door was left open

427
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,439
Speaker 2: right when they arrived, meaning there was a break in

428
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 2: on one door, presumably the front door and then the

429
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: back door was left open and there's blood on the

430
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 2: front door or the front area, the front porch, and

431
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: she doesn't she didn't hear whether there was or was

432
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: not blood elsewhere or something like that. So you know,

433
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 2: who knows. Time will tell.

434
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: Well, we will stay connected very closely to the story,

435
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:13,159
Speaker 1: and we really pray and hope that that Nancy is okay.

436
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:14,880
Speaker 1: I feel all wold.

437
00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 2: It's been I mean realistically it's been five days. Yeah,

438
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:21,719
Speaker 2: and her medication they say it is crucial daily.

439
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,440
Speaker 1: And also if she was connected to age.

440
00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 2: And pacemaker, and I've seen pictures of her, she's not

441
00:21:28,920 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 2: physically fit to you know, be roughed up.

442
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:36,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we will continue to follow the story and

443
00:21:36,160 --> 00:21:38,240
Speaker 1: let you know what comes up next on this. So

444
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: thanks for listening, guys, We appreciate you.

445
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: Hopefully, we just had one more update and they caught him, well,

446
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,439
Speaker 2: that found her.

447
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,679
Speaker 1: That would be we're done, amazing. We would hope, we

448
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: would hope and pray for a happy ending that they

449
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,359
Speaker 1: figure out who this is, they find Nancy and they

450
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,800
Speaker 1: bring her home safely and she recovers.

451
00:21:54,119 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: That's what we'll hope for, and they throw them in

452
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 2: a jail cell to rock.
