Speaker 1: Hi guys, Welcome to another episode Illegally Brunette. I will
Speaker 1: be your host Emily Simpson with Shane and today we
Speaker 1: are doing a little special episode to keep you updated
Speaker 1: on the Nancy Guthrie situation, which is the eighty four
Speaker 1: year old mother of Savannah Guthrie who has been we believe,
Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, we're not exactly sure, but abducted,
Speaker 1: kidnapped something, and a lot of information has come out,
Speaker 1: so we are giving you the information as we know
Speaker 1: it up to this moment.
Speaker 2: So and the latest is, well, the latest.
Speaker 1: Thing I heard right before we started recording was that
Speaker 1: there was another ransom type of note that went to TMZ.
Speaker 1: But your understanding is it's not that person doesn't have her.
Speaker 1: They claim to have information.
Speaker 2: They know who the person is, and they want and
Speaker 2: in exchange for one bitcoin they will release that information.
Speaker 1: And what is bitcoin at currently? Do you know how
Speaker 1: much this one this morning was sixty six thousand, sixty
Speaker 1: six I actually have.
Speaker 2: Asked for it about a month would have been one
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty thousand.
Speaker 1: Was it a month ago?
Speaker 2: Yeah? I need to look at my Yeah, I remember
Speaker 2: you were bragging about how like I don't even know
Speaker 2: what it is, but I made some money I did. Well,
Speaker 2: you're back down to zero. No, it's not zero. Well,
Speaker 2: I went back down to what you probably bought it
Speaker 2: probably so.
Speaker 1: The latest information is a person of interest was detained
Speaker 1: last night and released early this morning. In this case, so,
Speaker 1: the Pima County Sheriff's apartment said deputies detained a subject
Speaker 1: during a traffic stop south of Tucson, and this was
Speaker 1: last night. This morning, Carlos Palazuelos told Telemundo in Spanish
Speaker 1: that his home, where authorities conducted a search the previous evening,
Speaker 1: was entered under a warrant. He said both the front
Speaker 1: and back doors were damaged during the process. He said
Speaker 1: he was searched by investigators and briefly detained in questioned
Speaker 1: in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, but has
Speaker 1: since been released. Carlos said that investigators told him he
Speaker 1: resembled the individual captured in security footage from Guthrie's home,
Speaker 1: and that the FBI had recently made public. Did you
Speaker 1: see those photos and videos of the suspects photos?
Speaker 2: No, but just the one video I mean of the porch.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, Well, in our last episode where we talked
Speaker 1: about this. We talked about how someone had removed the
Speaker 1: the ring camera and you said because I said, well, obviously,
Speaker 1: then if someone removed it, there would be video footage
Speaker 1: of them walking up to it and removed it.
Speaker 2: But now we were saying she didn't have the subscription, right,
Speaker 2: so it wasn't preserved, right, But apparently it was put
Speaker 2: somewhere in some clouds somewhere and someone is able to
Speaker 2: tap into it and extract it.
Speaker 1: So even though she didn't have a subscription where it
Speaker 1: was being saved somewhere, it was still being saved somewhere, right.
Speaker 2: Like when you delete something on a computer, it's not
Speaker 2: really deleted. Yeah, it's just kind of set aside. It's
Speaker 2: deleted accessible.
Speaker 1: As far as when you look at your computer, you
Speaker 1: don't see it, right, But when you have someone tech
Speaker 1: savvy who's doing.
Speaker 2: It's sort of like you throw something away and it's
Speaker 2: out in the bin, but it's not really gone gone.
Speaker 2: It's just out in the side yard in the bin.
Speaker 1: So when you look at those when you watch it,
Speaker 1: when you look at the video surveillance, I mean it
Speaker 1: is creepy.
Speaker 2: He's covered head to toe.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you can see the eyes and his gun. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he.
Speaker 2: Has a backpack and his gun is oddly placed like
Speaker 2: in front, like right above his crotch, like if he
Speaker 2: wants it seen or something. And then didn't he grab
Speaker 2: flowers and like I cover it up with flowers that
Speaker 2: his hand, like some plants or something like he was
Speaker 2: trying to figure out, like can I can I stick
Speaker 2: these flowers on here and cover it?
Speaker 1: And then I don't know, I'm just gonna rip the
Speaker 1: whole thing.
Speaker 2: Probably, but it shows you, assuming he didn't stage this,
Speaker 2: it shows you that maybe he didn't plan that part.
Speaker 1: You mean, you're saying because it was so haphazard and
Speaker 1: he's trying to cover it with plants that he walked up,
Speaker 1: didn't realize there would be ring footage, and then thought.
Speaker 2: Now be someone that knows there's a reen camera there,
Speaker 2: like a family member, a vendor or someone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a good point, just a thought. That's a
Speaker 1: good thought. So the FBI shared nest doorbell camera footage
Speaker 1: captured outside of Nancy Guthrie's home on the night she vanished.
Speaker 1: The video appears to show a masked individual carrying a weapon,
Speaker 1: and as you said, he's carrying it crotch height, yeah,
Speaker 1: and claim the person seemed to have tampered with the camera.
Speaker 2: Crotch height, waist height above the cross oh.
Speaker 1: Okay, above the crotch clear insight in plain sight. CNN
Speaker 1: correspondent and former FBI agent Josh Campbell said the video
Speaker 1: is helpful in the investigative process, highlighting techniques like pulling
Speaker 1: up foliage from the yard to cover the camera as
Speaker 1: an interesting tactic used alongside the full body clothing and mask.
Speaker 1: You know, that is interesting what you said, though, that's
Speaker 1: a good takeaway that maybe he had no idea, there
Speaker 1: was ranny. He just kind of panicked and didn't know
Speaker 1: what to do. So he's like grabbing foliage out of
Speaker 1: the yard and trying to cover it and stick it
Speaker 1: on there, and it doesn't.
Speaker 2: Stay supervising right.
Speaker 1: This major development was made possible in part by technical
Speaker 1: assistance from Google, according to a source familiar with the case,
Speaker 1: Because Google owns Nest, the company helped to retrieve information
Speaker 1: from the Nest doorbell camera at Guthrie's home. The data
Speaker 1: recovery reportedly took several days and involved a highly complex process,
Speaker 1: and investigators were initially unsure whether it would work. Google
Speaker 1: has not issued a public response.
Speaker 2: Is this is Google saying, see you all need to
Speaker 2: subscribe her nest camera is look what it provided and it.
Speaker 1: Was very difficult for us without a subscription.
Speaker 2: We will not be doing this again.
Speaker 1: Subscribe, So subscribe, push subscribe here with Luke always say subscribe.
Speaker 2: Believe that subscribe.
Speaker 1: But right shortly after the footage was made public, Savannah
Speaker 1: Guthrie shared a renewed statement from the family, stating, we
Speaker 1: believe she is still alive. Let me, do you think
Speaker 1: that she's still alive at this point eleven days later?
Speaker 1: You don't know?
Speaker 2: I mean, I hope I'm wrong. But they kept saying
Speaker 2: like she needs her meds, she's not going to survive.
Speaker 2: I've seen picture her. She looked really frail. I mean,
Speaker 2: she's older obviously, and there was some blood. And how
Speaker 2: long has it been. I mean, if they're I mean,
Speaker 2: do you think they're really going to be providing for
Speaker 2: her and caring for her as she needs to be
Speaker 2: in her age and physical unfitness.
Speaker 1: I don't know. No, I don't know. But let's go
Speaker 1: back to the guy they detained last night. They said
Speaker 1: that that he was detained because he resembled the guy
Speaker 1: in the footage. But how does anyone resemble the guy
Speaker 1: in the footage?
Speaker 2: You have two eyes in a mouth, yeah, just like
Speaker 2: that man.
Speaker 1: In the footage, right, I mean, there's there's no way
Speaker 1: to resemble anything. The guy's covered from head to toe.
Speaker 1: I did here. I did see when I was, you know,
Speaker 1: scrolling my main news sources Instagram, that he might have
Speaker 1: owned or maybe possibly owned a white van which had
Speaker 1: been seen earlier in that neighborhood. There was an unmarked
Speaker 1: white van that was seen. I been van like a
Speaker 1: white weird kidnapping van scene in Nancy Guthrie's neighborhood, and
Speaker 1: a neighborhood reported it. I believe it was a week
Speaker 1: or two.
Speaker 2: Before, so that's another before she was abducted.
Speaker 1: And I don't think it had any markings. I don't
Speaker 1: even think I believe that maybe it didn't even have
Speaker 1: a license plate. So it was very suspicious.
Speaker 2: Working to ten days and she needs medication, and she's frail,
Speaker 2: and there's blood and there's just random kind of sporadic
Speaker 2: ransom notes with very you know, a little. I don't know.
Speaker 1: It's unlikely law enforcement has searched Annie Guthrie's home again
Speaker 1: and Annie Guthrie we know is a sibling a daughter,
Speaker 1: so Sheriff's deputies are continuing their search efforts in Annie
Speaker 1: Guthrie's neighborhood, going door to door and asking residents for
Speaker 1: permission to check their properties. Personnel from multiple agencies are onseen,
Speaker 1: including individuals wearing FBI shirts as well as Sheriff's Department
Speaker 1: vests and caps. Several officials have been observed moving through
Speaker 1: the area, some carrying notepads. At Pima County Sheriff's Department
Speaker 1: Search and Rescue vehicle has also been spotted near the home.
Speaker 1: Authorities were present at Annie Guthrie's residence over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Although the home appeared dark with window coverings closed in
Speaker 1: our minute, bright flashes, possibly from investigative photography, were reportedly
Speaker 1: visible inside. Nancy Guthrie has had been visiting Annie's home
Speaker 1: for dinner the evening before she was reported missing. So
Speaker 1: that was the sibling that the mother was out to
Speaker 1: dinner with. Yeah, and then allegedly was dropped off at home.
Speaker 2: Yeah, But you know what's weird. I think I mentioned
Speaker 2: this before, how she took an uber to dinner, But
Speaker 2: then what's dropped off? I'm not saying the family did anything,
Speaker 2: but that is that is like why one way not
Speaker 2: the other? Even on they said uber, I thought, wow,
Speaker 2: that's like, why wouldn't you go pick up your mother
Speaker 2: and bring her over for dinner?
Speaker 1: Yeah, because we know your parents are elderly and they
Speaker 1: have trouble with uber and I know you.
Speaker 2: Even then, I wouldn't say them an uber if they're
Speaker 2: not far away, because that seems more steps to take
Speaker 2: for them to get over here then for me to
Speaker 2: just go pick them up.
Speaker 1: Well, maybe she was somewhere else, and then I don't,
Speaker 1: I don't and then took an uber to well there
Speaker 1: are reasons.
Speaker 2: There are reasons for it to happen. I'm just saying
Speaker 2: it's noteworthy, okay.
Speaker 1: But my question is if there is the ring doorbell
Speaker 1: on the porch and they could find footage of this
Speaker 1: the guy with the foliage and you know, the alleged
Speaker 1: abductor or whoever he is, do they have footage of
Speaker 1: her coming home? Would she enter through the front or
Speaker 1: that's right, she went through the garage, because there's the.
Speaker 2: And you're not seeing anything other than that porch from
Speaker 2: that camera, But there was blood on the front porch,
Speaker 2: like on the gravel, I think or something.
Speaker 1: So where is the footage of how the blood got there?
Speaker 2: He took the camera once he ripped it off, it
Speaker 2: was not recording.
Speaker 1: So he completely removed it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the video you see is before he ripped
Speaker 2: it off the wall.
Speaker 1: Right, So one of the ransom notes deadlines has already passed,
Speaker 1: asted as the reported Monday deadline approach for Nancy Guthrie's
Speaker 1: family to pay. A ransom specialist said authorities still appear
Speaker 1: to be assessing whether the demands are actually coming from
Speaker 1: the real kidnappers. Two unconfirmed messages sent to news organizations
Speaker 1: claimed responsibility for abducting the eighty four year old from
Speaker 1: her Arizona home and set a five pm cut off
Speaker 1: for a bitcoin payment. While law enforcement has said the
Speaker 1: communications are being treated seriously, officials have not verified that
Speaker 1: they are legitimate.
Speaker 2: You know, it almost seems like it's one reason to
Speaker 2: think it's not legitimate, is don't they keep pushing the
Speaker 2: goalpost further? Like okay, now this is the deadline. Okay,
Speaker 2: now this is the deadline.
Speaker 1: Well, there's also multiple notes, which makes it difficult to
Speaker 1: ascertain is one of them legitimate and another isn't are
Speaker 1: they copycat ransom notes? Are they just weirdos out there
Speaker 1: that some I'll know a lot about what's going on?
Speaker 2: And why are they?
Speaker 1: Why are ransom notes? Is TMZ now the new ransom
Speaker 1: note receiver of information? Like tmzs just going there?
Speaker 2: Are they are a source? And everyone knows them? Right?
Speaker 2: I mean you know how to contact TMZ is go
Speaker 2: on the app or email, But like your local news affiliate,
Speaker 2: I mean you're going to research who to send it
Speaker 2: to and hope it gets received. So I think TMZ
Speaker 2: is just a very obvious, like catchy kind of media
Speaker 2: outlet that you can reach out to easily, you know.
Speaker 2: I see it to get disseminated.
Speaker 1: When I'm on Instagram on my main news source, I
Speaker 1: see a lot of I see a lot of people
Speaker 1: because everybody's talking about this case. I mean everybody's talking
Speaker 1: about it, and a lot of people do the body language,
Speaker 1: you know, where they read the body language of like
Speaker 1: Samantha Guglary and her siblings when they've made the videos,
Speaker 1: and they analyze that and whether it's legitimate and whether
Speaker 1: you know what their body language says and what their
Speaker 1: voice says and everything. I just I don't know to me,
Speaker 1: it looks like grieving siblings that don't Yeah.
Speaker 2: Why are we trying to interpret them?
Speaker 1: Because everybody always looks at the family first. I mean everyone.
Speaker 1: I mean we know the the son in law has
Speaker 1: been under speculation. There's been alleged rumors out there that
Speaker 1: he had something to do with it, and you know
Speaker 1: they're searching the sisters home, and you know they always
Speaker 1: look at family first. Yeah, So all right, Savanthah Guthrie's speech.
Speaker 1: A lot of people have said this that her speech
Speaker 1: mirrored the Silence of the Lambs quote, and I thought
Speaker 1: this was interesting because.
Speaker 2: No, no, a little background, sis Lamb. Yes, this is a
Speaker 2: horror movie about a murderer, an abductor and murderer, and
Speaker 2: then one of the there's a victim in the movie
Speaker 2: that's abducted, a young girl and then of a political
Speaker 2: figure like a local congresswoman or something, and so she
Speaker 2: goes on the media and pleas for her daughter's return.
Speaker 1: Right, okay there, And I have to tell you, this
Speaker 1: is a nineties movie. My sister loves Silence of the Lambs,
Speaker 1: which is odd. Maybe I don't know, but she loves
Speaker 1: Silence of the Lambs. We had it on VHS tape
Speaker 1: and she played it all the time. So I have
Speaker 1: seen Silence of the lamp I couldn't even tell you
Speaker 1: how many times I've seen Silence of the Lambs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you didn't put it together that their plea for
Speaker 2: their mother was the same as Silence of the Lambs.
Speaker 1: No, I didn't recognize this speech. But when when I
Speaker 1: saw this side by side, I.
Speaker 2: Was like, oh, that's it, just a side by side show.
Speaker 1: So on February fourth, Savannah Guthrie appeared and a recorded
Speaker 1: appeal alongside her siblings Annie and Cameron, addressing the individuals
Speaker 1: believed to have taken their mother. In the video, Savannah
Speaker 1: made an emotional plea aimed at appealing to the captor's compassion.
Speaker 1: She says, Nancy is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk
Speaker 1: to her and you'll see, and her voice was shaking. However,
Speaker 1: some viewers observed that Savannah's wording echoed a moment from
Speaker 1: the nineteen ninety one film The Silence of the Lambs
Speaker 1: and which as senator publicly pleads for her kidnapped daughter.
Speaker 1: In that scene, Senator Ruth Martin tells the cameras Catherine
Speaker 1: is very gentle and kind talk to her and you'll
Speaker 1: see using similar language to humanize her child. Well, first
Speaker 1: of all, when I saw people doing the side by
Speaker 1: side and then saying it was weird or it's like
Speaker 1: something out of a movie, or there's something suspicious or
Speaker 1: nefarious about this, my takeaway was, there's nothing nefarious about it.
Speaker 1: It's because Silence of the Lambs was accurate and actually
Speaker 1: had probably an FBI consultant who they used, who gave
Speaker 1: them the proper language that you use when you are
Speaker 1: appealing to someone who has been kidnapped or abducted, because
Speaker 1: I would assume that the f has done their research
Speaker 1: in due diligence and psychological testing to know what type
Speaker 1: of language to use in a situation like that.
Speaker 2: You don't want to offend the person. You don't want
Speaker 2: to make them escalate things or.
Speaker 1: Want to anger them. You also want to humanize the
Speaker 1: person that they've abducted.
Speaker 2: Talk to her and you'll see give her.
Speaker 1: A name, so she says Nancy, just like in the
Speaker 1: movie she says Catherine. So to me, it wasn't nefarious
Speaker 1: or weird. I thought, well, in the movie, they were accurate.
Speaker 1: They consulted an FBI agent Because Sterling Starling or Sterling
Speaker 1: Starling was an FBI agent, so you know they're going
Speaker 1: to use the correct language when they're appealing to a kidnapper.
Speaker 1: And so obviously that hasn't changed since nineteen ninety one.
Speaker 2: It's still the same need to update the playbook.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I guess it doesn't need updated. It's
Speaker 1: still the same psychological appeal, the same language in order
Speaker 1: to humanize the person. So also, I just wanted to
Speaker 1: ask your opinion. I love a good conspiracy theory, and
Speaker 1: I see a lot online about how possibly this doesn't
Speaker 1: have anything to do with just an abduction that has
Speaker 1: to do with money or bitcoin, but it has to
Speaker 1: do with maybe Savannah Guthrie interviewing Epstein victims, and then
Speaker 1: maybe it has something to do with that.
Speaker 2: I don't think so you don't think so that's a stretch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, that's just your takeaway.
Speaker 2: You don't think so, that's my opinion. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think so. That's a stretch. Also, I don't think you
Speaker 2: should think so, do you think? So?
Speaker 1: You know what, I'll tell you. I find myself sometimes
Speaker 1: going down a rabbit hole on this. At all the
Speaker 1: Epstein files that have been released and it becomes so just.
Speaker 2: I just don't think it is. I mean, I'm not
Speaker 2: downplaying any of the Epstein stuff, but I don't think
Speaker 2: it has to do with us. That's too far fetched.
Speaker 2: But I mean, because then why would they give the
Speaker 2: so now what they return the mother, get the money,
Speaker 2: and then how does that change anything of this supposed
Speaker 2: theory that it has to do with Epstein files.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm just saying maybe she was targeted
Speaker 1: because she.
Speaker 2: Said I don't interview the victims, or they would have
Speaker 2: kidnapped her and killed her, or I mean, it doesn't
Speaker 2: make any sense that it's like I have your mother
Speaker 2: and I'm going to return her for money and hopefully
Speaker 2: that'll get you to stop talking about the Epstein file.
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I don't know either. All right, that was just a theory.
Speaker 2: I just want a theory. You just want some I said,
Speaker 2: I love.
Speaker 1: A good conspiracy theory. I don't know. Maybe there's a connection.
Speaker 2: I don't know, maybe there's not. I think more likely,
Speaker 2: although not likely, but more likely than this supposed theory
Speaker 2: is whoever dropped her off like the sunloss, And maybe
Speaker 2: there's something there, But then why would why would she
Speaker 2: go inside the house then be hit or hurt or
Speaker 2: injured and then taking out the front door. I don't know,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe okay, how about oh no, we
Speaker 2: think she was abducted at two in the morning, right
Speaker 2: when the pacemaker stopped connecting to her phone or watch okay,
Speaker 2: because I was thinking maybe she got dropped off and
Speaker 2: there was some connection where they knew the abductors, like
Speaker 2: the son in law dropped her off and then kind
Speaker 2: of coordinated. But too many hours had passed to really
Speaker 2: keep it like it.
Speaker 1: Was joint venture eleven days and we hope that there's
Speaker 1: a happy ending to this and we will continue to
Speaker 1: follow it. So thank you for listening. As always, you
Speaker 1: can find legally Brunette wherever you listen to podcasts.
