An 84-year-old woman vanishes from her Tucson home. No witnesses. No ransom call that makes sense. And a family waiting in the kind of silence that breaks people.

Nancy Guthrie—mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie—disappeared on January 24, 2025, setting off a national investigation that has exposed deep dysfunction between federal and local law enforcement, raised more questions than ans... more

Reviews

3.6 out of 5 stars from 23 ratings
  • Possibly the worst ever true crime podcast.

    Zero context. Frantic voices. 100% speculation. I’d rather listen to my elderly mother speculate on what happened. Please stop and appologize for wasting everyone’s time

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper Knew That Nobody Else Did
Q: What about the watch and the floodlight detail?
Shavaun Scott argues these details imply first- or second-hand knowledge of the scene, which increases the likelihood the writer was inside or had close access to the location, making the ransom notes more credible as real observations than random fabrication.
What Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper Knew That Nobody Else Did
Q: Robin, your thoughts?
Robin Dreeke offers initial impressions that the notes appear procedural and calculated, with a strong emphasis on language and structure that suggests a human writer familiar with professional communication, rather than a crude or AI-generated draft.
Nancy Guthrie: A Blockchain Firm Says This Was a Crypto Hit
Q: Is a loner perpetrator more plausible in this scenario, and how would that impact leakage and evidence gathering?
They discuss the possibility of a single executor or a lone mope driving the operation, which could reduce internal leaks but makes tracing the chain of command harder and complicates proving a direct link to the perpetrator(s).
Nancy Guthrie: A Blockchain Firm Says This Was a Crypto Hit
Q: Do you think this changes how the FBI or local authorities are approaching the Nancy Guthrie case, given the crypto angle?
The panel agrees that while it broadens the investigative toolbox, it also creates a challenge in directly tying the crypto activity to Nancy Guthrie and identifying the suspects, which could alter resource allocation and investigative priorities but doesn't guarantee new breakthroughs.
Nancy Guthrie: A Blockchain Firm Says This Was a Crypto Hit
Q: Jen, how did CertiK come to be associated with Nancy Guthrie's case, and what is the logic behind listing it as a wrench attack?
The experts explain that CertiK provides blockchain information that most investigators don't have, and the fact they linked it to wrench-style activity suggests they see a blockchain trail that could indicate who's behind the ransom demand, even if law enforcement hasn't publicly connected the case to crypto yet.
