We are on the road having a little President's Day holiday with the fam,
00:01:20.000
but obviously we weren't going to not do the show,
00:01:23.140
especially given how busy the news time has been in this case
00:01:28.680
So we've got all of our all-stars with us today,
00:01:31.520
and we're going to kick it off with Phil Holloway.
00:01:33.600
We've had a lot of developments since yesterday.
00:01:37.600
who is live in Tucson right by Nancy Guthrie's house.

00:02:05.200
The quality of the beef depends entirely on how it is raised and where it comes from.
00:02:14.280
Riverbend Ranch has been building an elite Black Angus herd,
00:02:17.660
carefully selecting cattle for exceptional flavor and tenderness.
00:02:21.160
All Riverbend Ranch cattle are born and raised right here in the USA.
00:02:27.340
and the beef is processed at the ranch in their award-winning USDA-inspected facility.

00:02:46.580
So I think the biggest thing that's happened since we last saw you
00:02:49.320
is the tent this morning over the outside of Nancy Guthrie's home.
00:02:57.320
and then we'll get into the search around the gloves.
00:02:59.920
Yeah, I had to drive over there and look at it just to see it with my own eyes.
00:03:03.100
And, you know, look, it's the kind of thing that I would have expected to see
00:03:06.600
to protect that scene, like, early on in the investigation.
00:03:13.460
and it looks like they were doing some technical video work,
00:03:16.260
which I believe would be designed to maybe get precise height measurements
00:03:22.720
for the perpetrator that we see on the pictures and on the video.
00:03:26.580
So, and then they took it down as soon as they left.
00:03:30.040
So it went up, they did some work, technical work.
00:03:33.300
Looks like they had some videography equipment as well.
00:03:36.240
Maybe they're doing like a crime scene recreation
00:03:44.380
So, yeah, that was just one of the very interesting
00:03:49.440
but I'm sure there's a good explanation for it once we learn what that is.
00:03:53.260
But there are some other things that are going on that are,
00:04:10.640
and they search this area just off the side of the roadway,
00:04:21.220
Now, I went back out there today in the daylight
00:04:28.160
and, you know, I think that if you're looking for something,
00:04:42.660
Right, so you're telling me they went at 2.15 a.m.
00:04:48.920
And so it's the kind of place where you would look
00:04:52.180
if, like, you can pull out of Nancy's home, right,
00:05:00.640
It's just one of the expected routes of egress from there, right?
00:05:08.160
it makes sense to search other areas on that road.
00:05:10.940
So that much I get, but I just don't understand
00:05:15.740
because I was able to go out there in the broad daylight
00:05:20.220
I mean, there's items of trash and other things.
00:05:22.360
Here's the map. We're showing it on the board for the viewing audience.
00:05:23.580
You can see Nancy's home is labeled in red at the top of our little map,
00:05:27.440
and then the early a.m. search happened in the middle there,
00:05:35.400
which we haven't hit exactly, but people have likely heard about it.
00:05:38.460
And last night, the New York Post happened to be with law enforcement
00:05:41.760
when they found, now we're told, it was a pair of black gloves.
00:05:46.320
At first, the report was it's one glove, and now it's since been confirmed.
00:05:51.640
They're not describing them as identical to what they believe
00:05:56.380
the perpetrator here was wearing, but they do look similar.
00:05:59.780
But everyone's quick to point out, Phil, that it's the desert,
00:06:03.100
and you really can't function at all in the desert if you're doing any sort of pruning
00:06:07.280
or gardening or cleanup even without gloves, or you're going to walk away pretty bloody.
00:06:12.640
So we have no idea whether these gloves have any relation to the Nancy Guthrie case,
00:06:17.120
but the cops have them, and they're being analyzed now, yes?
00:06:22.600
I think there's a possibility they could be connected, and let me explain why.
00:06:26.620
I've been able to develop a source or two of my own in the short time that I've been here,
00:06:31.020
some people that I've talked to, and it is believed that the perpetrator had a phone in his pocket
00:06:39.960
when you see him in those videos and in the photos at the doorway, at the Nest camera.
00:06:46.320
And so a telephone, a cell phone, even if it's turned off, there's ways to track that.
00:06:52.340
And so I believe that the searches that we've seen in the area of both Nancy's home yesterday
00:07:00.080
and higher up in the foothills all along this Campbell Road, which is where I was this morning,
00:07:04.280
and even over by Annie Guthrie's house, I believe they are sort of following a perceived
00:07:12.500
or believed route of travel following a device.
00:07:17.000
And specifically, a neighbor over at Annie's neighborhood didn't want to be interviewed on
00:07:23.920
the camera, but told me that the FBI had been at her house and that one of the things they were
00:07:28.980
looking for, among other things, was a cell phone, okay?
00:07:33.280
So I'm putting all this together, and there's obviously missing pieces, but what it's starting
00:07:38.460
to paint the picture of, for me at least, is the law enforcement officers believe that they have
00:07:44.920
a general route of travel, and they are searching more specifically now
00:07:49.840
along where that phone might have traveled, either going to or from Nancy Guthrie's home.
00:07:59.500
I mean, if they actually have a cell phone now associated potentially with this crime,
00:08:07.860
Like, how long would it take them to figure out who owns the cell phone?
00:08:13.300
Well, you know, that's a good question that I'm not a cell phone expert.
00:08:18.040
I can just tell you what the sources have told me, that that's one thing the FBI was
00:08:22.960
trying to find, and if it's a burner, it may take more time.
00:08:27.660
But if it's actually registered to somebody, then, yeah, they could very easily have a name.
00:08:33.180
So the FBI just is holding these cards very close to the vest.
00:08:37.940
But if there is a cell phone, and I believe there is, and I believe that's the source of
00:08:43.820
a lot of these new searches, that's what's driving this, it's driving the location of
00:08:47.960
where you see the FBI fanning out, searching all around, you know, Annie's house a couple
00:08:54.040
And so it put all this together, and I believe that they are working off that sort of a
00:08:59.620
presumption, and they're trying to track down where that phone came and went.
00:09:03.200
So you're saying your information is, based on your sources, that they have identified
00:09:08.560
a cell phone that they think may be attached to this crime, and that they're figuring it
00:09:15.420
out thanks to the cell towers, the possible route that this person took, the on the night
00:09:24.660
And that's what's explaining these overnight searches, because this isn't the first overnight
00:09:30.220
Yeah, and remember, the phones talk to towers, but they also talk to every Wi-Fi router.
00:09:38.160
If you go down any neighborhood, and you look on your phone, and you see the list of available
00:09:42.000
networks, you may not be joining those networks, but your phone is communicating with those routers.
00:09:48.600
And so there is a digital footprint that is left behind by the phone everywhere it goes.
00:09:53.600
They looked, I would say, around Annie's house, I would say that was probably maybe a half-mile
00:10:00.820
radius, if I had to guess, based on what I saw.
00:10:04.120
And I went to the house, and I drove all around when the FBI was out there, and I was seeing
00:10:08.500
these teams of agents, and there was some sheriff's deputies out there too, blocks and blocks away.
00:10:14.180
So they were literally fanning out in a large area, which would be consistent with maybe
00:10:19.560
a ping off of a cell phone tower that you can't, maybe you can't triangulate it and
00:10:26.520
But, you know, it seemed to be a pretty large area they were searching, including people's
00:10:34.840
Well, I mean, if that's what explains the activity over at Annie and Tomas' house, then
00:10:42.320
that's even more interesting, that a phone, if it's true, that a phone that police think
00:10:46.980
may have been associated with this crime went back into the Annie and Tomas neighborhood.
00:10:53.180
That's interesting as an investigative matter, and it's also explanatory of why they keep going
00:10:59.260
back over there and canvassing neighbors and so on.
00:11:01.860
And so you're saying you believe that too is based on your sourcing from one presumes people
00:11:07.720
in a position to know on them having a possible phone lead.
00:11:11.860
Yeah, and look, the fact that, you know, you just have to look at the facts.
00:11:17.180
I mean, the investigation is clearly focusing on two general places, the area around Nancy's
00:11:28.860
And so the fact that the investigation keeps taking officers to those places, you know,
00:11:34.800
it doesn't take a genius to understand that that's where they think they're going to find
00:11:41.100
They weren't out here at 2.15 in the morning by accident either.
00:11:44.040
They were looking for something specific because it wasn't a large search area.
00:11:49.160
They literally went to like this one intersection right where I was, and you showed the video.
00:11:55.640
So they had a specific place that they were going to, and it was for some reason.
00:12:02.160
And that's two, well, two times that they've done something in the middle of the night or
00:12:07.280
in the cover of darkness that easily could have been done during the daytime hours, and
00:12:15.820
Why did they go to Annie and Tomas' house at 7.30 to 10.30 p.m. when it was dark and
00:12:22.000
not turn on the lights and take photographs inside?
00:12:27.820
I want to ask you about now this alert that the sheriff just sent out saying he's asking
00:12:35.480
He's asking for the locals, the residents in Nancy's neighborhood, to do what exactly,
00:12:40.140
So they're using people who have, I guess, the ring system, and there's a way to send
00:12:45.680
out alerts, asking people for video at certain dates and certain times.
00:12:50.980
And some of these go back into, as I understand it, January, multiple times prior to the disappearance
00:13:00.460
So the question then, obviously, is what's special about those dates?
00:13:05.360
And they're not obviously telling us the reason they're focusing on those dates.
00:13:10.140
But if I had to guess, I had to hypothesize, one hypothesis would be they might be checking
00:13:15.980
to see who has delivered maybe an Amazon package to that area.
00:13:22.900
But, you know, it's not hard to go on somebody's Amazon history and see when they've had things
00:13:28.200
And so they might be trying to identify individuals who were in that area, in that neighborhood,
00:13:35.320
We've already seen one person who's a known delivery driver that was taken in for questioning
00:13:43.880
Well, because there's two communications from the sheriff's office.
00:13:47.220
One is actually from the sheriff's office, and one allegedly isn't.
00:13:50.500
The one that just came out from the Pima County sheriff says, we want everything for the last
00:13:59.820
Scour your ring cameras and your Nest cameras and let us know if you see anything suspicious
00:14:05.640
And that definitely came from the sheriff, and he just put it out.
00:14:07.880
But then there was an earlier report that was circulated on the neighborhood, like, ring
00:14:15.320
And that refers to two separate dates on which the sheriff allegedly wants data.
00:14:20.960
The sheriff's office is saying, we didn't give that.
00:14:24.320
Though that ring camera, like, discussion, there's a screen grab of it that the neighbors
00:14:31.760
And it does show a sheriff's seal and seems to come from the Pima County sheriff, though
00:14:36.920
the sheriff's office is officially denying that for some reason.
00:14:39.720
It could just be that the sheriff went to, you know, people from the deputies had gone to
00:14:46.580
neighbors and said, we want footage from January 11th between 9 p.m. and midnight.
00:14:52.880
January 11th, as far as we know, has nothing to do with this crime, but they know more than
00:14:57.480
And then we also want January 31st, which is the Saturday that Nancy disappeared.
00:15:03.640
It's the morning, the morning before she disappeared, from 9.30 in the morning to 11 a.m.
00:15:09.780
So Nancy was alive and well then, saying we believe there may have been a, quote, suspicious
00:15:18.900
Again, this is, these are, they style it in this separate ring camera discussion group
00:15:26.160
as, quote, new timeline for Nancy video requests.
00:15:32.020
Again, the sheriff says that's not from him, but there's definitely an actual post suggesting
00:15:37.240
that the locals believe they've been asked by the sheriff for those two dates in particular.
00:15:41.320
And we know for a fact they've been asked for all 30 days prior to and around the actual
00:15:47.020
I mean, they're, they're basically crowdsourcing the solution to this crime at this point,
00:15:53.360
And it's, it, it tracks with, uh, maybe a neighbor and they've been talking to all the
00:16:00.160
It tracks with a neighbor saying to somebody, the sheriff for the FBI saying that on January
00:16:05.420
31st, there was maybe some suspicious vehicle in the area.
00:16:08.560
And so now that the sheriff has that information given by a neighbor, uh, the sheriff's trying
00:16:16.180
to identify, you know, that vehicle and determine if in fact it was, um, suspicious or if they
00:16:23.940
But it seems like they're following up on specific leads that they are given by the people that
00:16:30.280
they are interviewing, which are the people in that area.
00:16:33.040
It's very smart because look at, look at the cases that we know about, you know, it's like
00:16:37.700
Kohlberger cased that home repeatedly before he committed the crime in question.
00:16:43.900
And also after we know he went back the morning that he committed the crime in Idaho, it was
00:16:51.680
And he was back there by nine, nine 30 that next morning, you know, five hours after he
00:17:00.560
And so the sheriff's smart to include the 36 hours after this crime for suspicious vehicles,
00:17:07.680
but the odds that this guy just did this cold and never once drove by the house are very small.
00:17:16.160
Uh, and hopefully some, some homeowner nearby has got it paid for the recording service on
00:17:23.640
Phil, thank you so much for traveling out to Tucson and all your good reporting this week.
00:17:41.480
And I know, um, heard, uh, Matt Murphy over on, uh, our friend.

00:18:11.320
Uh, and we're going to do that right after this break.

00:20:05.060
Concerned about your gambling or that of someone close to you?
00:20:13.840
We are remote from a lovely location where I'm supposed to be on a few days R&R, but that's
00:20:19.600
not what's happening because we have got to stay on this story and on the news for all
00:20:23.180
of you and doing overtime duty for us as they have been now for weeks, Jim Fitzgerald and
00:20:29.600
Maureen O'Connell, both of whom are 25 plus year veterans at the FBI.
00:20:37.180
This morning when I woke up in the wee hours to catch my flight, all over X was this other
00:20:45.560
And this other new video shows a man in an alley reportedly on February 1st.
00:20:52.800
Nancy was taken overnight from January 31st into February 1st, which was Sunday.
00:21:07.820
The pants are sort of like blue pants, not jeans, but pants.
00:21:16.440
I mean, I'm going to ask you guys what you think, but I see him maybe trying to open a
00:21:19.820
gate or do something with the backpack, maybe push it over the gate.
00:21:24.940
I can't tell, but it doesn't seem to work because he then takes that second backpack back
00:21:35.140
And now TMZ is reporting that the FBI has got this video.
00:21:38.880
Of course, people are crediting TMZ with breaking this video, which is not correct.
00:21:45.060
And I think it was, hold on a second because I have it.
00:21:50.460
It was an X like true crime solver who's been all over this case.
00:21:57.280
In any event, I want to give him credit and I'll get that out of my packet in just one
00:22:01.600
And so now there's a real question, guys, about whether that's our guy.
00:22:12.140
And I can't quite tell whether he has facial hair.
00:22:17.220
He doesn't have it all over his face, that's for sure.
00:22:19.480
But he might have it like in the front where we saw it in that mask.
00:22:24.100
And I can't tell whether those backpacks are identical or not.
00:22:29.340
And I don't know, he seems to be up to no good here in the middle of the night.
00:22:33.480
This is about five miles away from Nancy Guthrie's house.
00:22:39.840
Uh, so, you know, that's, that's pretty telling.
00:22:48.820
And he is the one who posted this, uh, saying it was originally posted on the Ring Neighbors
00:22:53.720
app, which is full of information in the early morning hours of February 1st, five miles south
00:23:01.320
And he did report that it had been submitted to the FBI.
00:23:04.060
Then Harvey Levin adds the FBI is taking it seriously.
00:23:07.100
So your thoughts on that, Maureen, I'll start with you.
00:23:09.840
First and foremost, we can expect the FBI's ERT team to be showing up at that location
00:23:19.840
Secondly, if he had, I agree, those jeans are looser than in the videos we have of the
00:23:33.040
And he could have had, he could have had those skinny jeans on over these pants.
00:23:42.260
Maybe the other one was in his vehicle, his getaway car or whatever.
00:23:45.460
But actually, when I'm looking at these pants now, they don't look that dissimilar.
00:23:49.300
For some reason, I thought they were a little bit more fitted.
00:23:54.540
Yeah, well, the color, they're going to be able to do a color enhancement, the bureau
00:23:58.320
will, based on known colors at that location and how they're showing up on that nest camera
00:24:05.740
They're going to be able to do a little bit of something, not sure what.
00:24:08.580
But the, the, I think he has, this guy looks to have what I would say is a gun in his right
00:24:15.580
If you watch the way that pocket moves to the guy approaching and there's, there's one
00:24:32.320
But if you look at, if you look at Pac-Man in this photo, when he's putting,
00:24:38.580
when he's putting something in the trash, wait, I'm going the wrong way.
00:24:49.680
When, if you watch this, when it's moving, you'll see the movement, you'll see the weight
00:24:53.920
of the gun, apparently, apparently at the bottom of that pocket.
00:24:57.660
And it's as if the gun is laying like, like laying in fully in that pocket.
00:25:04.620
There's definitely something weighty in his right pocket.
00:25:07.140
He's also got something in his right pocket, like a phone or, and it looks like, I can't,
00:25:30.580
Now you did, you raised the point of maybe the guy, by the time he gets to Nancy's or when
00:25:34.260
this guy, look at this, don't you think this guy's rear end and legs are thicker than Pac-Man?
00:25:43.440
Well, the FBI has had this for at least, you know, 24 hours or more.
00:25:47.980
I'm not sure exactly when it became available to them.
00:25:50.780
They have all kinds of technical enhancement capabilities that, of course, you know, we don't
00:25:54.900
have here, Megan, you may have some on your staff, but they're going to have as much as
00:25:58.740
they can to blow that thing up and look at it in every single step of the way.
00:26:03.480
Also, I'd want to make sure it's confirmed the time and the location.
00:26:07.460
We can't do anything about that, but we'll assume for now that the location and the time
00:26:11.860
is consistent with the Guthrie neighborhood and, of course, the night of the abduction.
00:26:19.900
I mean, we talked before in the last week or so, none of us really believe in coincidences,
00:26:24.800
certainly in terms of criminal activity, violent criminal activity, but this would be a coincidence
00:26:30.600
on steroids if, in fact, somehow it's not related.
00:26:35.540
So this guy absolutely positively has to be ruled out, identified.
00:26:41.040
If he's just some local yokel, you know, dumpster diving, looking for valuables or food or something,
00:26:47.640
he should come forward to save everybody a lot of aggravation.
00:26:50.920
But if he is, in fact, the abductor, or let's not rule out, you know, a partner of the abductor,
00:26:56.780
you know, switching backpacks and one carries a gun one time, one carries a gun the other,
00:27:01.720
and I'm not locking into two people for this part of it, but nonetheless, they have to identify this guy.
00:27:07.980
And if he's doing nothing wrong except prowling around some neighborhoods when he shouldn't,
00:27:12.500
the police would probably know of this guy, the sheriff's department.
00:27:15.240
If he's just a random guy that does this every once in a while, maybe homeless, lives under a cactus somewhere,
00:27:21.800
off the grid, they're going to know about this guy, and they're going to identify him.
00:27:25.500
And they're going to have now facial recognition, which this guy is going to be a lot better possibility
00:27:31.040
He's going to be bald, some facial growth on his face.
00:27:38.900
Let's hope he's tied in to, to solve this case,
00:27:41.880
let's hope he's tied in to the person at Nancy's house and we can really then start moving forward.
00:27:47.220
I mean, when you say it, it sounds so exactly right.
00:27:50.220
Think about, I mean, Maureen, what are the odds that there were two men wearing very similar clothing
00:27:57.420
with a backpack packed to the brink within five miles of Nancy Guthrie's house on the night
00:28:05.820
she was abducted, both of whom appear to have been carrying and appear to have been right-handed.
00:28:14.380
And this guy's, we think he's got the little facial hair.
00:28:19.320
He also appears in one of the shots I looked to have stick out ears.
00:28:27.340
You know, we talked about that, how you could see in the abductors video, his head looks perfectly round.
00:28:31.580
So he either didn't have like a bunch of hair that was mussing it up or maybe was bald.
00:28:38.980
You can kind of see that his ear was more prominent on the right side.
00:28:42.520
So what are the odds of there being two of them on the night in question within five miles of each other
00:28:52.020
And then you have to ask yourself, why five miles away?
00:28:57.920
Because in that kidnapping case where I told you we recovered the child alive,
00:29:03.840
he had been staying at a home several miles away from the location he was taken from.
00:29:10.120
And he was being cared for by a family that was being paid to care for him
00:29:15.360
while all the negotiations were going on with the ransom.
00:29:23.540
I mean, when you guys watch that video, do you have any idea what he's doing?
00:29:28.720
Like that's one of my questions is, what the hell is he doing with that backpack?
00:29:31.860
He's very focused on the one backpack and like trying to shove it over this fence or put it some,
00:29:37.160
You tell me what you could glean from watching this.
00:29:40.480
Yeah, I've chased down burglars back in the day and bank burglars, residential burglars, others.
00:29:47.180
And, you know, some of them, like a good kidnapper, like a good abductor,
00:29:52.340
they're going to have a protocol set up and an MO, a modus operandi that gets them in the door and out the door.
00:29:59.980
In the old days, you'd find a guy carrying a bunch of, you know, several pillowcases with them.
00:30:04.640
He's not looking to buy a pillow and take a nap.
00:30:09.460
They may get the pillowcase from the house, quite frankly,
00:30:12.060
but they also could bring a trash bag or something.
00:30:13.920
So, yeah, both these guys seem to have, I kidded the other day on the air,
00:30:19.720
Of course, it's not that, but they're stuffed to the brim,
00:30:23.220
some kind of canvas material, tarp, of course, tools we talked about the other day.
00:30:30.260
Is it a burglar kit, abduction kit, rape, murder, kidnap?
00:30:34.260
We don't know, but it's a kit for criminal activity against a human being.
00:30:39.820
So what's in that kit is going to be very valuable.
00:30:42.080
Change of clothes, change of, you know, hoods that we don't see on this guy on this newer video.
00:30:47.520
And it's his kit to get him successfully to commit that crime.
00:30:53.220
And this last guy we're just seeing, he has two different bags, it seems.
00:30:57.920
And the video from the offender at one point, and Megan, you pointed this out,
00:31:08.940
One has another when they're first casing the place.
00:31:12.280
You know, they don't have a bag at all to look suspicious in case someone sees them.
00:31:17.660
Fitz, that discussion that we had yesterday about this picture has been haunting me.
00:31:22.460
So for the listening audience, we're showing the picture of the abductor
00:31:25.800
right underneath the archway at Nancy's house where he's not wearing the backpack.
00:31:29.900
We don't see the gun and the whole face mask looks like he has it on backwards.
00:31:38.060
Could just be the camera, not able to focus on him quite yet because he's not close enough.
00:31:45.440
And all I've been thinking about over the past night is that, what if that was,
00:31:54.180
and it seems like it would have to have been after the crime because I feel like we see him
00:32:01.000
arrive to commit the crime when he steps onto her property, he's got his flashlight in,
00:32:14.460
You know, I, if, if the shot of him without the backpack was recon, his recon wasn't very good.
00:32:20.660
Um, so this is, we're showing him now arriving with the head down and, uh, his little mouth cam,
00:32:29.040
But my thought was simply, if that's him post crime without the backpack and without the gun,
00:32:36.300
and now we know Nancy's not in the house any longer, it doesn't, it's not good.
00:32:46.880
He should still be afraid that Nancy's going to get out of that car and run,
00:32:56.620
Do you have any thoughts on whether that makes it more or less likely?
00:33:04.600
No, that's got to be him scouting it out in advance because post crime, we know this person,
00:33:11.380
Well, he's going to need the flashlight when he goes into the house.
00:33:15.380
You're not going to turn the lights on within the house because anyone driving by,
00:33:19.960
even though you can't see much, you would be able to see if the lights were on inside Nancy's house
00:33:26.240
And that would be concerning, especially if you're a friend that knows that her bedroom is all the
00:33:31.760
So he's got to have the flashlight when he's trying to go in.
00:33:35.740
He also has to have the flashlight when he's going up to try to check the doorknob,
00:33:39.800
because you'll notice that that video stops right before he would try to gain entry there.
00:33:45.380
I mean, what if this dude had a key and went in the front door?
00:33:49.000
We don't know because the video was stopped then.
00:33:52.620
That's probably the video that law enforcement is holding back from this point.
00:33:56.960
They totally have it, Maureen, because they, they, we saw him deal with the camera.
00:34:03.060
I think, I feel like we know what he did with the camera.
00:34:05.180
Here, he settled on, I'm going to cover it with flowers, right?
00:34:12.660
It appears, I don't know what happened next, but I think you're right.
00:34:15.820
I think law enforcement has probably got video of him either entering this front door or abandoning
00:34:23.180
it and going out that path and then winding up around the back.
00:34:28.120
Because the plan was to drag her out the front door.
00:34:32.840
He couldn't get in the front door, or maybe he did with a key or something, but you're not going
00:34:36.720
to get past that burglar door and that really thick, wooden, Spanish-style front door that
00:34:43.300
I can't even look at a door like that without my hips hurting to this day, and Fitz will
00:34:48.640
But the one in the back would be easy to break in.
00:34:57.600
You can either punch a hole in, which someone did not do that, or you just boot the door down
00:35:02.740
And I don't know why they're not answering the question, was this forced entry or was
00:35:10.300
But if it was forced entry, it had to be from the back.
00:35:15.620
So far, all of what she reported in her big scoop on the Tuesday after Nancy went missing
00:35:27.660
She said that there was a camera in the front and the back that we don't know for sure.
00:35:33.040
But I felt like the sheriff said they he referred to plural.
00:35:37.660
So that seems to suggest he also hasn't denied most of her reporting.
00:35:53.820
Ashley did report it was a forced entry from the back door and that the back door was
00:35:59.420
And that's how the family found it when they showed up.
00:36:02.560
So TMZ is also reporting that something interesting about that timeline.
00:36:06.340
So it was 147 a.m. that the doorbell camera went offline, according to them.
00:36:12.820
But it was 212 a.m. that either some remnant of a camera or some different camera reported
00:36:22.600
And the cop was sure to say the sheriff said it could have been actually an image of an
00:36:29.820
And we spent days confused about how is it detecting images of people or anything after
00:36:33.780
it was already disabled or disconnected at 147 a.m.
00:36:37.240
And they ultimately explained there was another camera.
00:36:41.520
Now, TMZ is reporting that it was at 212 a.m. that we are seeing the intruder video, that
00:36:50.560
Now, we haven't independently confirmed that, but then I'm I'm more confused than ever.
00:37:04.040
So was it was it the back doorbell candle camera that went offline at 147?
00:37:12.660
And I guess it's not going to until law enforcement explains it to us.
00:37:18.460
No, because he had the backpack on the guy in the in the intruder video had the backpack
00:37:24.160
But they could have been using something like a Nextel, a walkie talkie.
00:37:28.380
That's the guy, the getaway driver and the kidnapper.
00:37:32.680
Yeah, and I don't want to give these one or more people too much more credit than they
00:37:38.720
But I'm obviously the abduction part has been successful up to this point in time, although
00:37:43.540
obviously some mistakes now and I'm sure in this and a lack of professionalism in terms
00:37:54.520
We see the person walking up doing a quick reconnoiter without all the equipment on except
00:37:59.080
the mask, to be sure, and maybe even backwards, you could probably still see through it, depending
00:38:08.820
Or also, it could have been after Nancy is safely in the car, she's restrained well enough,
00:38:16.840
And this person, I've seen burglars, I've interviewed burglars after the fact that they would come
00:38:21.360
back to the scene if they've had even 10 minutes or 20 minutes in a residence for a business.
00:38:26.100
And they'd look around one more time, left no tools, left no gloves, you know, this is even
00:38:30.820
before DNA analysis when I was doing some of these, but they wanted to make sure they left nothing
00:38:37.460
So here, he could be coming up one more time, backpacks in the car, gun, everything else,
00:38:42.120
looks around, all right, it's good, let's get out of here.
00:38:45.020
That could explain, it really explains the beforehand, him walking up and afterwards
00:38:52.820
Something else that happened is they found gloves.
00:38:59.020
Okay, we talked about that with Phil Holloway before you guys got here.
00:39:03.720
And everybody says, okay, it's the desert, you're going to see gloves.
00:39:07.060
But it is kind of interesting that it's in exactly the right place.
00:39:11.440
It's, it's not too far away from Nancy's house and the gloves, they're not in the middle of like
00:39:23.280
It almost has the feel of somebody driving away and chucking things out the window.
00:39:29.140
And then sure enough, we know that the police went back.
00:39:31.840
They found these yesterday evening in the daylight hours, clearly, the sun had not set.
00:39:36.500
You can see that in the video because the New York Post happened to be traveling with them.
00:39:39.220
And they go back at 2.15 in the morning, not to that exact spot, guys, but not too far from there.
00:39:45.540
I'm just judging from the map my team made, maybe half an hour, half a mile farther south
00:39:59.080
And I've done, I've done a million of these searches, but Fitz, go ahead.
00:40:03.020
Now, all I was able to say, and Maureen, you've been on these kind of task forces.
00:40:06.160
At some point, they start working around the clock, and you have three different shifts,
00:40:18.620
And maybe just something as inconsequential as that.
00:40:22.500
I don't mean the evidence is inconsequential or what they found, but it could be, hey,
00:40:26.940
The calls aren't coming in at whatever time it is.
00:40:29.540
Let's go out with our flashlights, put up some floodlights maybe,
00:40:34.680
And I'm not sure if that's exactly when they found these gloves or they were looking
00:40:40.080
But, and there's also a reflective bag, as we noticed, Megan and Maureen,
00:40:45.520
and maybe just shining a flashlight across some of this wide, you know, depth and breadth
00:40:52.300
You'd get a reflection that you wouldn't normally necessarily pick up in the daylight
00:40:56.520
with a backpack that may blend in with the flora, the vegetation, et cetera.
00:41:00.960
So I don't want to put too much into the time of night that the agents were out there,
00:41:09.480
Let's go take a ride and look at some of these things.
00:41:13.040
They also may want to avoid the media knowing what they're doing.
00:41:18.460
Yes, excellent point on the reflective material on that backpack, Fitz, because you, first
00:41:25.220
of all, that backpack, if it's gray, you're not even going to see it when you're out there
00:41:31.120
It's super bright sunlight, and everything is just those light camo colors, and that gray
00:41:38.480
But with regard, if I could for a moment, on those gloves, I think the idea with the gloves
00:41:44.080
is just, I'm just so excited about this piece of evidence for a number of reasons.
00:41:48.460
Number one, it's going to have the guy's DNA on it.
00:41:52.380
Secondly, if he put those gloves on while he was in his car before they got out to conduct
00:41:59.420
this crime that they committed, and they put their hand in the door handle to open it,
00:42:05.100
they could almost superimpose fingerprints that were on that door handle onto the glove and
00:42:12.480
then transfer them onto some surface within the property or on the doors or on that housing
00:42:22.440
Would that still be here all this time later, Maureen, 10, 11 days later?
00:42:34.860
Could he be that dumb to throw the things out the window?
00:42:38.280
Well, my guess was when I first heard it, he stopped to go to the bathroom, and he took
00:42:43.720
the gloves off and may have tried to put them in his pocket, and it was pitch black and he
00:42:47.880
didn't realize it, and they just fell to the ground while he was urinating.
00:42:52.700
And at this point, you're not foreseeing the entire country bearing down on your crime and
00:42:58.260
the amount of searching and resources and 100 FBI agents or however many it is.
00:43:02.460
Because, you know, you're not thinking, like, this is a dumb move to leave these gloves here.
00:43:09.860
And before a big op, you always, either before or after, you want to go to the washroom, right,
00:43:19.680
Or have the stuff in the bottle to clean your hands.
00:43:22.060
But, yeah, I mean, of course, maybe within a 20-foot radius of those gloves, pick up some
00:43:29.440
of the soil and look for any DNA material in there.
00:43:34.460
But also, and I think your earlier guest before us, Megan, suggested besides his own DNA on
00:43:40.020
it or fingerprints, we could also have the DNA of Nancy Guthrie.
00:43:44.660
And that would certainly tie the gloves in directly to the crime.
00:43:48.320
And what we have to hope here, too, is that perhaps this guy is in CODIS.
00:43:52.400
That's the national DNA database that they can run.
00:43:55.840
So if there is DNA found, they could possibly come up with a name, an address conceivably
00:44:03.320
But he has to be in there for some sort of prior crime that, in fact, the law permits his
00:44:08.740
DNA to be put in there, his write-up, so to speak.
00:44:12.520
So there's a lot that can come from those gloves.
00:44:14.980
It may come back to someone's DNA in CODIS who has nothing to do with the crime, and
00:44:22.360
But just like the guy, the other guy, double backpack guy, we're calling him, and these
00:44:26.400
gloves, they all have to be worked to their logical conclusion until investigators can absolutely
00:44:31.540
rule them out that they have nothing to do with Nancy's gloves.
00:44:34.060
Maureen, how long would it take to get the DNA test back on those gloves, which they found
00:44:38.120
yesterday afternoon, like around four or five in the evening?
00:44:40.520
The turnaround can be as fast as 24, 48 hours, especially with access to the FBI lab.
00:44:46.840
They've got a bunch of 10-pound brains there on scene, but they can also ship it right back,
00:44:53.140
have two agents jump on a flight and bring it right back to the lab.
00:44:56.720
So they're going to get it done very, very quickly.
00:45:00.840
It would also be a little bit of a bonus if they could find some of that crushed foliage
00:45:04.460
from the front porch with a little bit of blood from the guy's shoes right there next to
00:45:11.300
And keep in mind, you know, we've been discussing loosely in this past hour, like, did he have
00:45:15.460
an accomplice driving the car, watching Nancy, helping him with the disposal of some of the
00:45:21.940
Don't forget, Kash Patel did say on Hannity two nights ago, persons of interest.
00:45:32.420
It means something then to just say we have a person, old Carlos.
00:45:36.520
So, you know, query who else he's looking at there.
00:45:41.060
By the way, on the Carlos thing, there was reporting that explained some of why they got
00:45:46.100
Nerdy Addict, Nerdy Addict, who was the one who posted that video of Pac-Man, he reported
00:45:51.820
that Carlos was detained based on cell phone usage data and traffic analysis, which would
00:45:58.320
make sense because Carlos said they didn't even interview me when they approached me.
00:46:24.000
And as you know, later, the FBI said his alibi checked out, reportedly said.
00:46:27.700
But so that would make some sense if they were going off of cell phone usage data and
00:46:40.900
He may have parked in the area behind him for a few minutes.
00:46:48.460
You know, his movements must have been suspicious.
00:46:54.160
And then when they get their hands on his phone, they know easily within an hour where
00:46:59.740
he was on the night in question, during the hours in question, right?
00:47:08.300
I'm sure there's a number of defense attorneys in the area reaching out to Carlos.
00:47:16.700
There's such a thing as known as exigent circumstances.
00:47:20.020
And I've learned that in a few different law enforcement academies.
00:47:23.200
But it's very, very rare that that can actually come into play here.
00:47:26.780
And I think a kidnapped person who may be, you know, conceivably dying without medication
00:47:32.240
or heart, anything to do with her heart problem, those kind of factors can kick in where Miranda
00:47:38.700
warnings can be put aside and emergency searches can be done like having been done here.
00:47:44.980
They can still contest it in court later, even civilly with this guy.
00:47:48.900
But just so people don't think there's all kinds of rights being violated here.
00:47:55.300
And that kind of covers the agent's investigative actions at this part.
00:48:02.880
I think he said basically, besides his wrist being a little sore or something, the agents
00:48:11.140
No, wait, I know Maureen's got to leave in a minute, but I want to ask a question first
00:48:16.280
So this morning for an hour, they put a tent out in front of Nancy's front door and did
00:48:21.960
And they brought in some sort of, I don't know what it was called, but it was obviously
00:48:31.360
Ultra Studio 4K mini kit, professional capture and playback device designed for high-end video
00:48:36.260
workflows, connecting a computer like a laptop or a desktop to professional video equipment.
00:48:41.780
You can do editing, color grading, live production, broadcast, and other things.
00:48:45.020
They also had a large Pelican-style box labeled Video Forensics.
00:48:53.180
And what they said, what Michael Ruiz also reported was that they left carrying a diagram
00:49:00.660
So Maureen, you tell me what they were doing under that tent.
00:49:03.060
That's exactly what I thought it was going to be one of two things.
00:49:06.360
They were either mapping out the bloodstain better.
00:49:10.860
And the other option was they were going to determine exact, oh yeah, they're determining
00:49:18.240
For the listening audience, they were showing an FBI agent, we think, carrying like a, it
00:49:22.960
almost looks like the kind of thing that you'd have your child stand up against in the doctor's
00:49:28.740
So using that, they can figure out how tall the perp was?
00:49:32.000
Yes, and they're going to look at the bricks on the wall.
00:49:35.660
They're going to look at the tiles on the ground, those satio tiles.
00:49:41.020
And they're going to check from the camera that the exact angle that the camera is at
00:49:46.460
and with the way the guy was hunching his head.
00:49:50.200
And I mean, they're going to be putting together a whole bunch of information and they're going
00:49:58.620
So the New York Post is right now reporting that the other thing they did under that tent
00:50:02.280
was they took away the Nest camera bracket, you know, the cradle.
00:50:07.920
Guys, isn't it nuts that that was still sitting there?
00:50:11.400
I'm like, just look what my Jake Whitman did yesterday, you know, like mounting it and
00:50:18.500
And it's like, can we really have safely said there's nothing on that?
00:50:23.960
I just feel like there's been a lot of questions about how this crime scene has been handled
00:50:30.660
All I can say is if they it wouldn't have been that big of a deal if they didn't release the
00:50:36.240
But they did release the house back to the family.
00:50:38.660
Not that they went in there and removed, you know, the bracket for the camera, whatever.
00:50:43.840
And now they're coming back again, crossing every T, dotting every I, even if it's almost
00:50:52.280
Let's just say they're getting it done right, even if it's delayed.
00:50:58.300
Um, the, the visit to Annie and Tomas's house the other day, we discussed at two agents
00:51:04.440
or two, two, a lot, we think they were cops, went over.
00:51:07.240
They emerged holding a Whole Foods paper bag, not like an evidence bag that was plastic and
00:51:13.360
They had on blue latex gloves when they walked out of the house.
00:51:18.080
And then they went and they got the mail out of the mailbox with the latex gloves on.
00:51:22.760
Could this have just been a lot of speculation about what they were doing again at Annie and
00:51:26.820
But could this have just been the family's in a remote location and they're helping
00:51:31.180
Like she needed her sweater and she wanted her mail.
00:51:36.740
And the reason he's wearing gloves is because if there's something in that mailbox that ends
00:51:40.800
up being evidence, this guy doesn't want to have to cough up his DNA for exclusionary
00:51:46.020
He's just said, Hey, I just reached in, grabbed it, put it in a bag and handed it to them.
00:51:50.560
So if there's anything on it, it's either the perpetrators or theirs or the mailman's.
00:51:58.700
They did look like possibly military, possibly law enforcement experience, but they could
00:52:03.960
have also been private security, which is very common to hire after an incident like
00:52:12.700
I mean, we probably have security there, wherever the hell they're staying.
00:52:16.180
We know the family has hired security for both houses, I'm sure, because the media was just
00:52:20.780
everywhere, but has denied hiring a private investigator.
00:52:24.740
One guy who helped the feds out on the Brian Kohlberger case showed up at that tent today
00:52:30.540
And there was some speculation earlier that this guy was a PI hired by the Guthries and
00:52:37.020
This is some stud who helped out in the Kohlberger investigation and now is helping out in this
00:52:44.200
I won't take advantage of your very, very generous time with us.
00:52:52.800
I think we're going to pause and we're going to bring in our friends from yesterday, James

It's bold, no BS news, only on the Megan Kelly Channel, SiriusXM 111, and on the SiriusXM app.
00:56:48.160
We're joined, as we were yesterday, by two others, James Hamilton, former FBI supervisory special agent and founder of the Hamilton Security Group, along with Will Geddes, elite bodyguard and security expert and founder of International Corporate Protection.
00:57:10.520
Okay, a couple of things that I want to get to, including the evidence analysis that's going on right now of the abductor's outfit.
00:57:20.600
We've had so many smart armchair sleuths online on X doing their own searches for what is that backpack, because it's pretty distinctive.
00:57:34.960
Because that, too, is kind of distinctive with this horizontal stripe, thin stripe right across the middle, and it may be fleece.
00:57:41.240
And it seems like people have figured out that that backpack may be an Ozark Trail Hiker backpack, that it is apparently—and then, by the way, the local reporter, KOLD's Mary Coleman, she's been reporting, and that's one of the organizations that received the alleged ransom note.
00:58:02.660
And she reported that, indeed, a law enforcement source close to the case says they are familiar with this brand of Ozark Trail Hiker, and they are looking into it.
00:58:10.540
They're looking into other brands as well, but they've got their eyes on this one.
00:58:13.420
And this was one that the online sleuths came up with almost immediately.
00:58:18.500
They sell it at Walmart, including the Walmart in Tucson, the Tucson Walmart Superstore, where you can get it right now for $10.88.
00:58:29.260
And that dovetails pretty well with, I think, every one of your conclusions, which was this was not some super-trained hitman, high-budget operation.
00:58:45.720
I don't want to put words in your mouth, but I'll start with you, James, on it.
00:58:52.180
I just feel for these agents, these officers who are getting—I read last count, like 4,000 leads in 24 hours because these, as you call them, sleuths are doing all this great work.
00:59:04.320
And, you know, it's awesome, but it's also—you know, that stuff's got to be worked, and it takes a while.
00:59:09.680
And there's not like an infinite stream of agents.
00:59:16.000
An $11 backpack from Walmart would be completely in line with the Uncle Mike's crap holster this person was wearing.
00:59:27.480
And, you know, Fitz was talking earlier about 24-7 shifts.
00:59:31.680
I remember working these, you know, very few kidnappings I worked, but you didn't go home.
00:59:36.340
It was like all hands on deck until you found this victim.
00:59:41.240
Like, do you go into the Walmart and you say you carry these backpacks?
00:59:55.660
You ask for how many of these backpacks were sold.
00:59:59.980
Like a place like Walmart would have all of that recorded?
01:00:02.640
And then you start looking, hopefully, you know, as we're going down the road of him
01:00:11.700
A pro would go to different stores, not buy all the material at the same store.
01:00:16.300
But, you know, an amateur would probably use a credit card.
01:00:19.720
And, you know, that would be a huge break for us if we could get a credit card and then
01:00:26.080
We did take a look just to see if at that same Tucson Walmart they were selling face masks.
01:00:30.880
And we determined that they are not available at that Tucson Walmart.
01:00:38.440
And I don't know whether that was still the case three months ago or whenever.
01:00:42.620
But, I mean, it would be, do you think it would be relatively recent, Will, that they'd
01:00:49.380
Because, like, if this guy bought this stuff five years ago, Walmart's not going to have
01:00:54.920
No, I mean, it really does depend on whether he'd had it already in his possession.
01:01:00.580
But, again, that's where it's going to be, you know, on a day-to-day basis.
01:01:03.820
But that's where it's going to be kind of interesting, certainly when they start joining
01:01:07.080
up CCTV from neighbourhoods, from various other areas, and to see some sort of lifespan
01:01:14.340
Now they've hopefully got some sort of clear identification, certainly on what he was wearing,
01:01:19.960
that they can try and join all these pieces together.
01:01:22.320
You know, as James was saying, it's a jigsaw puzzle.
01:01:24.780
And I would concur that I think this is much more of a non-professional in terms of the
01:01:36.100
buying sort of very low-cost items, is not unknown for professionals.
01:01:41.220
Professionals will do that to try and evade detection or discovery.
01:01:44.940
However, the one area which James rose, which I think is really important, was the Uncle
01:01:51.980
Now, if it was a professional, I think they would find it incredibly difficult to go into
01:01:57.140
an operation with a sort of nylon holster as basic as that.
01:02:03.000
Explain to those of us who don't know about the holsters why that's so basic and low-end.
01:02:07.920
Well, firstly, it was the positioning of the weapon, Megan.
01:02:15.660
And more often than not, you know, anybody who's used to carrying a firearm will be used
01:02:19.560
to concealed carry or certainly have sufficiently good quality holsters.
01:02:24.040
Because you only have to use, anybody who uses a firearm will know if you have a cheap
01:02:27.780
holster, that's going to wear out or it's going to let you down in some shape or form.
01:02:32.020
So, again, having that cheap holster indicates that this individual may not necessarily be
01:02:37.400
well-practiced or well-versed and have had a lifespan of using firearms.
01:02:41.960
Because more often than not, as much as you invest in the weapon, you're also investing
01:02:46.160
in the ancillary and auxiliary equipment that you use with it.
01:02:50.080
So, pretty much everything about him looks cheap.
01:02:53.100
I mean, we looked it up and it was like the Luigi backpack that he used when he killed,
01:02:59.100
allegedly, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, Brian Thompson.
01:03:07.960
And we're seeing so far what we believe is the opposite of that with clothing that didn't
01:03:12.040
look expensive, a backpack that you can get for $11.
01:03:14.740
The ski mask, for what it's worth, retails right now.
01:03:17.720
If you order it today, you can get it between February 20th and February 27th for $3.12.
01:03:23.760
So, that's another, you know, low-end item that he appears to have used.
01:03:27.340
And if this is the guy, I want to ask you guys for your thoughts on the new videotape
01:03:33.380
But before you got here, we talked about how, like, even though there are some apparent
01:03:39.000
differences between the alley guy who's got two backpacks, we've been calling him Pac-Man,
01:03:43.300
Pac-Man, and the actual abductor, like, the actual abductor to us looks a little thicker
01:03:48.400
than Pac-Man, a little, like, fatter or just stockier in the legs and in the rear end in
01:03:56.960
Because abductor man could have had a few more layers on.
01:04:00.540
But we are told that this video of Pac-Man took place in the wee hours of the morning,
01:04:05.320
we believe, post the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, and that it happened five miles south of Nancy
01:04:15.660
By the way, at least the guy who posted it on X, Nerdy Addict, described this as it was
01:04:25.560
And this person is shown trying, this is the description that he got, to unlock a side
01:04:33.340
I guess I shouldn't say that it happened after Nancy.
01:04:37.660
We just know, quote, early morning hours of February 1st, which is when she was stolen.
01:04:42.840
So your thoughts, you guys, on the odds of this being, like, another criminal potentially
01:04:49.380
in the area with the backpacks in a similar outfit.
01:04:53.360
And we thought we saw a possible weapon in his right-hand jacket, his zippered pocket.
01:05:02.180
Maureen was suggesting she thought she saw that.
01:05:04.320
Anyway, not confirmed, but a speculative possibility.
01:05:12.980
But I thought I saw a time stamp in the bottom right, and it was saying 1.53 a.m.
01:05:19.920
Well, if that's true, how can he possibly be in two places at one time?
01:05:25.300
Well, but it also assumes that the camera was set on the right time.
01:05:30.880
And, you know, I've seen so many not set on the exact right time zone.
01:05:37.520
It could have been off, and that can easily explain it.
01:05:41.020
It's quite – that's quite a good lead, that someone needs to find out who that person
01:05:45.140
is, and he's definitely worth a really strong investigative interview.
01:05:49.960
I think Fitz wanted to comment, but I was laughing when Will was talking about the Uncle
01:05:58.540
So we call it that because that's a very cheap holster that you would usually see like
01:06:06.060
And that one right there, yeah, that's for a big revolver, like a six-inch, eight-inch
01:06:11.780
barrel, and what's happened here is they've stuck a semi-auto, smaller pistol into this
01:06:20.140
It reminds me very much of like where I live, where a lot of people carry what we call open
01:06:31.260
It's like total amateur hour, and you just kind of – well, most of us, we just kind
01:06:34.740
of laugh about it, and then I leave and get away from them because they're dangerous.
01:06:40.140
Just FYI, James, my team is confirming, yes, it says 153 Mountain Standard Time on February
01:06:49.500
And again, now I do not – I don't trust any of these times at this point, but the sheriff
01:06:55.340
said at 147 a.m., the Nest cameras were disconnected at Nancy's, and at 212 a.m., they alerted, image
01:07:06.420
And he said, you know, could have been a man, could have been an animal, 212.
01:07:09.820
Now, TMZ is reporting that it was 212 a.m. that the abductor tried to get in, as we saw,
01:07:16.420
or tried to cover up the Nest Cam and did all the stuff, the guy with the face mask.
01:07:22.920
I haven't confirmed that independently, but that's what TMZ is reporting, that that was
01:07:26.840
This is 153 Mountain Standard Time, so I don't know.
01:07:32.660
Like, could you – if you take the 147 ring camera disconnected out of it, which I will
01:07:39.900
say for the record, my team, some of whom have Nest cameras have told me, whatever, rings
01:07:44.120
or Nest, that sometimes they go offline and you get that.
01:07:46.500
Sometimes the camera will say offline because, whatever, you have an internet hit, et cetera.
01:07:52.480
In any event, 153 to 212, what's that, 7, 12, 17 minutes.
01:08:07.620
Megan, can I tell you, on the task force wall, there's a big whiteboard, probably digital,
01:08:16.580
and they have the times exactly lined up what they are, and they've gone back to the ring
01:08:23.520
So we can speculate a lot, and this is healthy to do for us in trying to piece these items
01:08:28.460
together, but I'm assuming that the investigators themselves know exactly what this is.
01:08:37.620
In the Unabomb case, agents went out to every single junkyard in the country.
01:08:46.700
Trying to find the components of the devices, the IEDs, improvised explosive devices, the
01:08:52.240
bombs, the Unabomber was sending through the mail.
01:08:54.720
And some of these, certainly in rural areas, some guy just has his backyard, and that's a
01:08:59.760
But agents wound up tracking down every single – because a lot of people didn't know this,
01:09:04.460
but before he was called Unabomb or Unabomber, he was called the junkyard bomber because all
01:09:08.960
the devices were handmade or picked up from loose structures.
01:09:13.060
Then when the manifesto came in and the letters or the bombs were addressed to people, it took
01:09:19.920
them not too long to figure out all that information is coming from the Who's Who book in libraries.
01:09:26.340
Remember, as a kid, the biggest book in the library was always Who Who, Who's Who.
01:09:33.380
FBI agents went to every single library in the country trying to get information.
01:09:41.840
Looking – here's the composites, book, anything like this.
01:09:44.580
And interesting, a lot of the university libraries would not help at first.
01:09:49.260
But once a professor got bombed and seriously injured Yale University and other universities,
01:10:00.200
But it just shows you – and that's pre-internet, and that just shows you they'll go in person
01:10:05.520
And there are agents all over the country now fanning out, looking at these different places
01:10:09.620
where these are sold in an attempt to determine the providence of the mask, backpack, everything
01:10:15.740
Right now, we get a report as we're talking, Fox News, FBI and the sheriff seeking to question
01:10:22.260
a man with backpack captured on video just miles from Nancy Guthrie's home on the night
01:10:27.580
They want to speak with the guy seen on the camera.
01:10:33.060
I think Maureen raised a good point, too, that is there any possibility they haven't already
01:10:38.400
gone to that location and searched for whatever was in that backpack, the actual backpack,
01:10:46.240
What if this – if the guy who broke the story, nerdy addict, if he's correct, that
01:10:51.960
the person is trying to unlock a side gate, that they've been through that side gate.
01:10:56.220
I mean, how long does it take to get a warrant?
01:10:57.860
I guess that's one of the relevant questions because, you know, getting the warrant is important
01:11:02.040
so that whatever evidence may or may not be there can be admitted later down the line.
01:11:05.800
But does it take a long time to get a warrant and get over there and get that searched while
01:11:10.380
you put out basically an APB for the man shown in the tape?
01:11:17.200
I mean, this is ostensibly a third-party residence that we don't have any information that this
01:11:24.480
guy owns that house because he would have been able to just walk through that gate.
01:11:27.560
So the people that own it, I mean, I can run over there with Fitz and say, hey, you know,
01:11:32.000
FBI, we need to talk to you about the Nancy Guthrie investigation.
01:11:35.860
And we have reason to believe this guy tried to, you know, get over your fence.
01:11:40.440
And they're going to say nine times out of 10, absolutely, you can look.
01:11:46.160
You know, now if they start to say, hell no, you can't.
01:11:48.900
Well, OK, we may have to use exigent circumstances, maybe stretch it or have to get a warrant.
01:11:55.720
You know, we can secure that area and make sure nothing's tampered with until we go get
01:11:59.780
But my experience is, you know, because you're nice and they teach agents how to be nice and
01:12:04.940
You know, you can get consent from the homeowner.
01:12:08.780
I will say just looking at it, even though this guy, Pac-Man, as we're calling him with
01:12:13.760
a double backpack, looks skinnier to me than the abductor.
01:12:18.120
One thing I will say is yesterday we talked about whether the abductor has some sort of
01:12:22.740
a limp or something wrong with his leg because his gait is a little weird.
01:12:31.080
The way he goes down off of that step, it's like he almost doesn't bend his leg the way
01:12:42.780
You know, I don't want to attribute too much to it.
01:12:48.080
There's got to be somebody at the FBI who does gait analysis, right?
01:12:53.180
We saw that with the pipe bombing, the pipe bomber where the blaze had a gait analysis
01:13:00.220
that told them it was a woman who had a connection with the federal government.
01:13:07.140
She then allegedly had an alibi showing that she was with her dogs, though, I don't know.
01:13:13.940
I still have questions about the pipe bomber case, if I'm totally honest.
01:13:17.160
In any event, they said that's not true and that the pipe bomber was this, you know, this
01:13:23.600
kid, this sort of autistic kid who lived in Maryland.
01:13:30.500
Yeah, they do, either in the FBI or they have experts on call to assist in that regard.
01:13:36.240
That's kind of a newer, I don't think that would be testimonial or evidentiary, but certainly
01:13:40.360
from an investigative perspective, that would be valuable to have, certainly to compare one
01:13:45.280
I know there's a lot of that, not just in the J-5 bomber case, certainly in the last
01:13:50.240
months or so before the arrest came, but certainly in the Brown University case, people are analyzing
01:13:57.620
And just to go back to the house where this double Pac-Man, one version we're calling him,
01:14:03.900
we haven't heard anything about the people who live in that house.
01:14:10.940
It looks like a back alley to like an apartment complex or some sort of-
01:14:14.860
And does the address, you know, somehow the numbers match up, you know, to-
01:14:20.560
Look, Fitz, it looks like he's in a parking garage there.
01:14:23.120
Look, there's two cars we can see in the foreground.
01:14:28.240
It looks like some sort of a parking complex or garage.
01:14:35.320
People, I'm sure they know where it is right now, but obviously talk to everybody who lives
01:14:38.840
there and what is this person doing in that particular environment?
01:14:42.140
And that somehow the address or street even resemble a little bit, you know, Nancy Guthrie's.
01:14:46.960
I know it's five or so miles away, but could this be a wrong idea?
01:14:51.040
And let me tell you, I worked in 2001, the case of the Zantop professors from Dartmouth
01:14:57.840
University, murdered in their home, stabbed to death, a knife sheath coincidentally left
01:15:03.080
behind in that case too, which helped eventually arrest two teenagers from across the line in
01:15:09.840
But what they did, the two teenagers, a day or two before, they knocked on different neighbors'
01:15:15.500
doors to get in because they were pretending they were going to do some kind of a survey.
01:15:19.500
They had a clipboard back in the day, whatever, and to make it look official.
01:15:25.080
Luckily, those neighbors said, not interested, not interested.
01:15:27.880
The Zantops being professors at Dartmouth, let them in.
01:15:30.640
And next thing you know, they get stabbed to death, both of them.
01:15:35.480
And we may have a different guy here at this other location, but related to the guy at Guthrie
01:15:51.280
Is this completely unrelated to anything we've been discussing here?
01:16:01.780
Can we just look at the, let's look at the abductor video one more time, team.
01:16:06.020
Because the first thing I said about the actual abductor, not this, not Pac-Man, abductor
01:16:15.940
The guy on the right, to me, looks like he's got a good, I don't know, 25 pounds on Pac-Man.
01:16:24.980
That was actually one of the first things we agreed on about abductor.
01:16:31.460
You see it because he's lifting up his arms, trying to shove that backpack over that gate.
01:16:38.000
And you can see his entire backside and his legs.
01:16:40.800
And he is a very skinny, not very skinny, but he's a skinny guy.
01:16:45.980
This guy, would you describe this guy as very skinny, abductor man?
01:16:49.180
No, no, I think, I think, I think abductor man is certainly a bit more chunky, a bit more
01:16:57.400
Pac-Man, I think, I think where it's really particularly useful, having identified Pac-Man
01:17:03.220
will be to inevitably look at any other neighbor's ring doorbells or CCTV to basically see what
01:17:11.180
And did he come from a vehicle before he went up to that sort of that, that gate to the back
01:17:17.400
And ultimately, at the end of the day, I think the key issue here is joining those two together.
01:17:24.920
If they were working together, then you're doubling up your potentials for discovery of
01:17:29.200
one or the other, which, I mean, I'm sure Fitz and James will be able to give you a great
01:17:34.240
But ultimately, the two, quite often you may find, particularly in amateurs, that they will
01:17:39.800
source their equipment from similar places, unless they already have it within their wardrobe.
01:17:47.400
Like, are those, are they distinct men and are they working together?
01:17:51.640
And do they just look similar because they're both low-end shoppers and this was not some
01:17:56.360
high-end caper and they probably, you know, I mean, in the way I wear and look like a lot
01:18:05.720
Well, I was just smiling because I, you know, we don't like coincidences at all in our business.
01:18:10.680
And this is a hell of a coincidence that you've got two males walking around within five miles
01:18:15.820
of each other at 2 a.m. in the morning with backpacks and trying to enter or exit portals.
01:18:28.820
Maybe it's not involved, you know, it's possible, but my money right now is it's not that I wouldn't
01:18:38.340
Like everything, everything we got is going to go to find who this person is and do a really
01:18:42.860
strong interview and not create some story of, oh yeah, it's just a coincidence that he just
01:18:50.860
And by the way, that second backpack, the way that he's holding it over that fence is bizarre.
01:18:56.740
It's, it's very strange the way he uses his left hand to, to put it up over the fence as if
01:19:02.360
there's something in it that he doesn't want to disrupt.
01:19:11.840
And it looks like he's trying to like shove it over to me.
01:19:15.800
I thought he was trying to like push it over and couldn't do it.
01:19:20.480
It's almost like, it almost looks like there's some sort of an imaginary wall there that he
01:19:26.020
And he really wanted to shove that backpack over, but he can't.
01:19:29.980
So he doesn't even look like he's using force, but it doesn't happen.
01:19:33.020
And he takes the backpack back and walks away with it.
01:19:37.380
Well, almost like he had some type of device in there that he thought would unlock
01:19:41.760
it, it looks like he's trying to, you know, swipe it or, you know, have it over the other
01:19:50.560
So, you know, again, I'd like to find out who this individual is.
01:19:55.340
You know, and just run it to the ground and, and don't, this is a good lead.
01:20:00.420
How long do you think it's going to take the FBI to figure out who this guy is?
01:20:03.420
Because unlike abductor man, he's not wearing a mask.
01:20:06.980
And we know this guy is in Tucson, or at least was.
01:20:11.800
And he too wasn't expecting to find his picture all over the internet today.
01:20:16.100
Well, I don't know if you and Fitz and Maureen talked about this earlier, but I'm shocked
01:20:19.920
that we're only talking 50,000 bucks right now.
01:20:39.460
You know, I, I just, for me, let's get some, let's get some strong, strong interest to
01:20:45.200
And you're not worried that it's going to incentivize the crazies, you know, like.
01:20:49.880
We're dropping Bitcoin money and all that's already happened.
01:20:53.240
Those horses have left the barn, as we say, where I come from.
01:21:01.400
I just, there's been research done about rewards over the years.
01:21:05.520
Unabomber was 1 million, the highest reward ever.
01:21:13.860
I always prefer when people come to me wanting to reward money, as opposed to some other issues
01:21:19.980
But I think context is important about this double Pac-Man guy for what we're calling
01:21:25.580
I would really like to interview all the sheriffs that work, deputy sheriffs that work in that
01:21:29.820
area and see what kind of transient population.
01:21:36.460
It isn't like he's an immigrant across the border, 60 some miles away.
01:21:40.260
So there may be guys that roam around at night.
01:21:43.380
I used to, as a patrol officer, I'd shut my lights off, turn my engine off.
01:21:46.380
You'd be surprised the stuff that just happens around you and the odd people that show up.
01:21:51.860
And this is like in a suburb of Philadelphia, probably not that different from where this
01:21:58.920
And I said earlier, it's a coincidence on steroids.
01:22:01.920
If in fact, you know, within the same hour timeframe, we have two different things happening
01:22:07.260
with guys with backpacks about five miles apart.
01:22:13.940
I'll, I'll suspend all, uh, uh, you know, his rights to, uh, uh, being innocent here
01:22:26.440
Um, you really can see the facial hair more clearly in that shot that we're running right
01:22:37.920
He's got a, he's got like the devil beard, not, not the beard.
01:22:40.820
That's like all over your cheeks, but like just down at the chin.
01:22:44.860
And you can't quite see what's happening above his lip or whether he's got the soul patch
01:22:53.580
We'll count ourselves lucky that he chose not to wear a mask then or the mask or a mask,
01:22:58.560
even a, even a, a COVID type mask to cover himself.
01:23:06.200
And if he doesn't come forward, because even if he's not part of this abduction, he certainly
01:23:11.780
looks like he's up to no good at two in the morning with the backpacks and the alley, like
01:23:17.040
I mean, we're just presuming, but so if the guy doesn't come forward, um, that's even more
01:23:23.700
Like the FBI, when the FBI tracks him down, they're going to be even more suspicious of
01:23:28.340
him because he knows this guy knows by now that everybody's looking for him.
01:23:34.080
It's if it's petty anti-crime and you know, they're looking at you for like a possible
01:23:42.700
Uh, and again, with the deputy sheriff, we don't care if you're looking to urinate or
01:23:46.720
defecate or, or smoke a joint, or, you know, even do a petty larceny, as you said, uh, we
01:23:54.380
If this is a local guy who roams the neighborhoods at night, I just don't know.
01:23:58.640
Is there again, a homeless encampment somewhere near there or a couple of guys that hang out
01:24:07.780
I mean, probably every neighborhood in the country, probably around 2 AM, something was
01:24:14.840
The problem is five miles away within an hour of a, of a major, uh, of an abduction of
01:24:19.700
anyone, not to mention, uh, Nancy Guthrie that has to be taken to its logical conclusion.
01:24:25.040
This is their priority that's similar with the round head, with the beard, that's the
01:24:33.360
Um, I want to ask you guys about another development today.
01:24:36.480
Hesitate to even raise it because it's just, it seems such, such obvious BS, but okay, let's
01:24:43.940
You remember yesterday, we talked about the fact that TMZ had received a note, an email
01:24:50.540
from some third party saying, I'm not the kidnapper, but I know who it is.
01:24:57.700
And I want somebody to give me one Bitcoin, which is worth about 65, 67,000 bucks.
01:25:10.640
And then today, TMZ this morning reported the following.
01:25:14.140
They've received a new email from a person who claims to know the identity of Nancy Guthrie's
01:25:25.020
And the person who sent the email claimed they are, quote, not being taken seriously,
01:25:33.400
They went on to say that, quote, he makes some ominous statements in the email.
01:25:37.880
TMZ is cooperating with law enforcement by not disclosing specifics.
01:25:41.140
One thing he makes clear, the situation has changed from Wednesday to Thursday.
01:25:46.660
TMZ goes on to say, quote, as for why he wants a Bitcoin, he says he will need money
01:25:52.120
to lay low after identifying the kidnapper for fear of retaliation.
01:25:59.540
This is a quote, incriminated like that Carlos guy, meaning the delivery man who was detained
01:26:07.540
The email reportedly ends with the sender saying this is their final attempt to, quote, help.
01:26:13.600
By the way, they did also report that TMZ monitored the account that he had linked to.
01:26:21.180
He did link to a Bitcoin account for his big deposit.
01:26:26.820
Nothing has been deposited thus far, at least as of the end of the day on Wednesday.
01:26:33.520
Is this an obvious joke or what does the FBI do with this?
01:26:36.520
I just signed it to a new agent, but that's just me.
01:26:41.560
You know, the serious leads are going to be handled by the serious veteran agents and some
01:26:54.840
I'm saying that with a little bit of tongue in cheek, but come on.
01:26:59.120
I mean, if the FBI, you know, ran out with everything they had, with everything like
01:27:04.460
that, then they wouldn't be able to really find Pac-Man, which is a much more credible
01:27:09.040
lead than this nonsense through TMZ for one Bitcoin.
01:27:13.300
And I assure you there are psychics and mediums, et cetera, getting in touch with the family
01:27:19.600
And it's invariable when you work these kinds of cases saying, you know, they'll do it while
01:27:23.680
they would like some money you could possibly help.
01:27:27.180
I'm sure that the body is within 50 miles of a body of water or 25 miles of railroad
01:27:34.580
And I'm just saying, I'm not saying Mrs. Guthrie is a body at this point, but that's
01:27:39.880
I've never had luck with a psychic in that regard.
01:27:42.720
So yeah, you just have to say, contact the FBI.
01:27:46.080
They'll give you at least $50,000 and they'll keep you anonymous.
01:27:49.600
This is a game being played locally, somewhere in the U.S. or somewhere overseas, possibly
01:27:56.540
even tied in to the other Bitcoin people and their scam that they tried to run earlier.
01:28:03.780
I mean, I think this is obstruction of justice, what they're doing here.
01:28:06.360
They're distracting the FBI from solving an actual crime and purporting to have information
01:28:14.200
And if they told that lie to the face of an FBI agent, it would be another crime.
01:28:20.640
I mean, I've dealt with a number of ransom demands and coming through various different
01:28:25.340
And there's always this kind of small amount that is requested.
01:28:29.660
I know $65,000 doesn't sound like a small amount, but in relative terms, it's a very,
01:28:34.760
And if you have someone who is offering to basically say, well, I will give you all that
01:28:40.200
I'll tell you where the hostage is, but is not able to provide any more substance or any
01:28:51.260
And again, I agree with James entirely and fit that that's something which is batted off
01:28:56.560
And there are many ways to trace it from an email account.
01:29:00.220
There are lots of very surreptitious ways that I may have allegedly utilized in the past
01:29:05.360
to try and identify the IP address and the actual user themselves.
01:29:08.760
But again, there's a lot of information like what sort of email account?
01:29:15.340
You know, again, there's so much intelligence you can get just from those communications.
01:29:20.020
Are you at all surprised, Will, that they haven't caught whoever's behind those other
01:29:24.700
Bitcoin demands who is either pretending to be the kidnapper or possibly is the kidnapper?
01:29:30.440
Here we are 11 days in and they still haven't made an arrest there?
01:29:37.100
I mean, I certainly know that the authorities and most certainly the FBI will have the ability
01:29:44.340
You know, blockchain used to be a very, very secure way of people being able to utilize
01:29:51.060
And it was used very much by the dark web and it was used by various sort of illicit and
01:29:57.040
But nowadays, you can actually reverse engineer and trace back who is the actual wallet owner.
01:30:04.460
I mean, the chaps will probably be able to give you a better grasp on this.
01:30:07.920
But in my estimation, they probably may have arrested them.
01:30:11.460
Or they're observing them to see whether they have any further intelligence value.
01:30:19.220
My team is reminding me that TMZ has been getting all of these communications via an anonymous
01:30:25.820
And that's what the other two news organizations, that's how I think why they were chosen too,
01:30:36.660
So, like, not through a traditional email exactly.
01:30:42.880
And if so, that person has some level of sophistication.
01:30:47.580
You know, the Bitcoin person, the one who's asking for the money in USD.
01:30:56.620
But I know of enough organizations that have anonymous lines, whether it be for whistleblowing
01:31:02.060
or otherwise, that aren't necessarily as anonymous as one might imagine.
01:31:10.800
If I can add here sort of a public statement to everyone who's listening, if you have information
01:31:16.120
about this case, we've seen enough of abduction men.
01:31:23.180
This is not some worldwide syndicate involved in this.
01:31:29.420
This is someone that if you have information, you know, call it, get away if you have to,
01:31:43.700
But this guy, besides what he did to Mrs. Guthrie, and hopefully she's still with us.
01:31:52.840
But this guy is probably more of a menace to himself than anything else.
01:32:01.040
I put out some pointers yesterday with you, Megan, behavioral characteristics of what this
01:32:14.560
Oh, I just I maybe shouldn't smile as much as I am, but it reminds me a lot of, you know,
01:32:21.700
I mean, as an FBI agent, we probably didn't go a month without somebody coming forward and
01:32:32.700
And if you give me X, you know, I'll tell you, well, it never happened, you know, and
01:32:38.360
just I'm just smiling about it because these cases bring out those types of people and
01:32:44.920
I have to end it on this because there's a lot of speculation online and we've got a
01:32:52.400
Because, you know, they keep going back to Annie and Tomas's house.
01:32:56.040
And that could be because Annie and Tomas are suspects or it could be because Nancy was
01:33:03.120
there earlier the evening that she disappeared and they think there's more clues somehow to
01:33:09.060
Many people have wondered, is it possible that they think she died there, that Nancy was
01:33:15.780
killed earlier than we think and that she died there?
01:33:20.180
Now, I think that fell apart when we saw Abductor Man ringing the doorbell or messing with the
01:33:27.080
Like, the story that an abductor showed up is not fake.
01:33:30.640
And I don't believe, I just don't believe there's any way she was killed earlier in the
01:33:36.520
evening because, I mean, you guys tell me what you know, the pacemaker, the pacemaker would
01:33:45.520
And a lot of people have been writing in saying, the pacemaker doesn't stop just because the
01:33:53.640
Which is why there's some remote chance that if you took her phone and turned on the pacemaker
01:33:58.620
app and started walking around Tucson, you could, you might actually connect with the
01:34:06.540
You have to be, I've heard any place from 10 feet to 30 feet in order for them to sink.
01:34:11.460
But I'm not saying that the pacemaker, it's not about whether the pacemaker goes dormant
01:34:19.360
But I have yet to find a cardiologist or anesthesiologist to tell me anything other than if the heart has
01:34:28.500
any sort of a major event, including that it stops beating, that it wouldn't communicate
01:34:37.580
So obviously there'd be no communication after 2.28 on the night she went missing because
01:34:44.820
But prior to that point, we're told by law enforcement, they were sinking.
01:34:48.920
There was no problem with the pacemaker sinking with the phone.
01:34:52.300
And so even with a delay in download information, you know, like if the last information went
01:34:58.140
at 2.27, it might take an hour or two for it to actually download that onto the phone because
01:35:03.260
I guess there's some sort of a lag in the delay, you would know if the heart had stopped
01:35:08.960
beating, if this patient's heart completely stopped.
01:35:14.340
And clearly law enforcement agrees with me or this whole thing is a wild goose chase.
01:35:20.080
If that sheriff, and I'm sure he spoke to the pacemaker doctor, to the cardiologist, and
01:35:28.840
There is no way the FBI would be putting us through all of this if they really had reason
01:35:34.000
to believe she died, that Nancy's no longer with us.
01:35:39.740
Why would he be saying, I have to believe she's alive, that she's still out there, and
01:35:43.260
talking with the family about doing the hostage videos and all that?
01:35:46.140
Like, you guys just tell me once and for all, do you have any reason to believe that law
01:35:50.520
enforcement thinks she died prior to 2.28 a.m.?
01:35:57.680
I see no indications of law enforcement believing that.
01:36:07.940
I mean, that, so what that answers for me is, A, Nancy Guthrie had the scare of her life
01:36:13.260
when that man showed up in her bedroom in the wee hours of that morning, and B, the reason
01:36:20.260
they are going back to Annie's and Tommaso's house all the time, I think, is they're wondering
01:36:29.060
I just don't, like, I don't understand why you'd be interviewing the neighbors over and
01:36:32.980
And Phil Holloway, who's out there for us, we didn't get to this in his hit, but he's
01:36:37.600
been talking to the neighbors, and the neighbors told him that they keep getting asked about
01:36:43.020
Annie and Tommaso, and what are they like, you know, that this is what the FBI and the
01:36:49.620
sheriff's deputies are asking the neighbors, and he also mentioned, for what it's worth,
01:36:53.860
that they're very interested in, like, a phone.
01:36:57.120
Have they seen evidence of any phone anywhere, you know, maybe they're looking for evidence
01:37:02.040
of, you know, that the guy may have dropped, et cetera.
01:37:04.180
Anyway, I don't mean to condemn them, but I just think, like, that's them doing their
01:37:11.600
Like, we've talked about family, friends, associates, neighbors, whatever, and there's
01:37:18.680
no reason to be asking the neighbors what these two are like, going back there time and time
01:37:22.200
again if you're not potentially interested in them.
01:37:25.360
I mean, there's one question that's sort of been raised in the back of my mind, Megan,
01:37:30.100
which, again, I'd be interested in the other chaps and what they have to say.
01:37:34.660
Is whether there's, the network has been contacted, the cellular network, to actually
01:37:39.500
do the mapping from the cell towers near to, obviously, Nancy's house, and also to the
01:37:45.120
sister's house, to determine, obviously, the IMEIs of whichever cell phones were in the
01:37:51.880
And I know, certainly, in terms of geolocation, you can get it down to 50 feet if, obviously,
01:37:59.000
So we're not looking at enormous amounts of space, but you can isolate it.
01:38:02.860
And the intelligence agencies over here in the UK, for example, have used that very efficiently
01:38:07.600
to detect terrorists, for example, who have been using burner cells, but they've got their
01:38:12.080
own cells with them when they've been detected, obviously, going off and making those calls
01:38:16.720
rather than leaving their own cell phones behind.
01:38:19.080
So I'd be interested to see what cell phone data has been gathered by, obviously, the Bureau
01:38:27.920
Maybe certain recognized cell phones have been identified, or the IMEIs.
01:38:35.600
Megan, if we've discussed this before, I forget.
01:38:39.700
How many children does Annie and Tommaso have, and how old are they?
01:38:48.600
They would be a valuable source of information.
01:38:52.040
And depending on their age, there are experts within the FBI, and they certainly contract
01:38:56.340
with people that have expertise in interviewing children.
01:39:01.960
Now, it'd be very interesting if they would permit their children to be independently interviewed
01:39:10.800
But just to get every single bit of this story lined up, what did you hear mommy say, daddy
01:39:18.280
So they would be, we don't bring, we haven't heard anything about that.
01:39:24.060
I would certainly want to know if they've been interviewed.
01:39:26.440
And I would, they would be, the investigators would have been a remiss if they haven't taken
01:39:32.400
It was interesting in the Ramsey case, JonBenet Ramsey, they wouldn't let him be, Burke be interviewed
01:39:44.860
But I would like to know what those kids have to say.
01:39:46.800
And as I said earlier on, as a young police officer working homicide cases, well before
01:39:51.540
the internet, you learn so much about people with extended family, friends, neighbors, workmates,
01:40:02.300
But did someone have an affair and not admit to it?
01:40:05.060
Do they have someone on the side, a boy or a girlfriend, and they don't want to, they
01:40:14.560
I'm not saying that's what happened here with Annie and Tommaso.
01:40:16.900
But there's going to be some things uncomfortable for them to admit that they're going to have
01:40:22.580
Doesn't mean they were involved in the death of their mother or mother-in-law.
01:40:26.040
But there's a lot that we're not hearing about this.
01:40:29.580
The Parade Magazine reports that they have one son together, but we don't know how old
01:40:43.720
So I suppose if you assume they didn't have children until they got married, he's no more
01:40:51.060
There's been precious little information about who else is living in that house or even really
01:40:55.980
There's really not much information at all about them.
01:40:59.780
He's a part-time middle school teacher and a band member.
01:41:08.600
Everybody knows a poet and a part-time middle school teacher are not rich.
01:41:12.160
They live in a nice house, but I think it could be one of those situations where it's
01:41:15.000
just appreciated because it's worth in the mid $600,000 range.
01:41:19.620
I don't know how they're supporting themselves.
01:41:21.260
I mean, I think very few poets are, you know, Joseph Massey is the official poet of the
01:41:27.260
He's constantly writing about how difficult it is to pay your bills as a poet.
01:41:36.340
And the dynamics of a sibling who's a multimillionaire.
01:41:45.160
And sometimes that caused problems in the family.
01:41:50.840
I mean, I guess that's really what we're getting to as you guys as agents.
01:41:57.520
You got the one sister who has no money and you got the other one who's got tens of millions
01:42:03.320
of dollars and the one sister's doing all the hard labor with the mom and the other sister's
01:42:12.340
You know, they don't, they're not telegraphing that.
01:42:18.540
Everything you see telegraphed from the Today Show about how close everybody is, is a lie.
01:42:25.340
They are about building images over there to sell ads.
01:42:35.400
So you can't go by what you see in like the family reels about how tight everybody is.
01:42:44.100
But I can see that dynamic potentially causing some resentment.
01:42:50.560
Like, would that be something the FBI is kicking around and then looking into?
01:42:55.500
Yeah, I think, first of all, I will come back to Will's point in a second.
01:42:59.380
But let's let's key in on where you were, Megan, talking about motive.
01:43:11.600
Invariably, you look at, you know, who saw them last.
01:43:15.480
And then you just mentioned a lot of dynamics that add even more intrigue to the family.
01:43:23.660
But just as you're saying that, I guess, the Today Show is not all as rosy as it appears.
01:43:29.680
You know, that happens also in these big cases.
01:43:32.500
OK, so they're going to go and have press conferences and they're going to use words like partners and the FBI and our partners.
01:43:38.160
And that's all fine. But at the end of the day, someone is behind the scenes actually, you know, driving case strategy.
01:43:47.020
And hopefully that is a symbiotic relationship right now and not disperse where the sheriff's office is doing one thing.
01:43:59.120
So you need to have some consistency with regards to the strategy.
01:44:02.800
And certainly, you know, if I was running it, you'd have a group of investigators who are OK.
01:44:09.580
All right. Then you have another group of investigators who are handling these crazy ass leads that are coming in about, you know, the TMZ, whatever.
01:44:16.960
And then you got a bucket of investigators who are going out looking for a black glove on the side of the road.
01:44:24.100
Yeah. Somebody behind all that is driving case strategy.
01:44:27.860
Right. And so that what we're doing is we're not spending so much.
01:44:31.680
And Fisk might have seen this, too, where the agents are really working on a certain credible lead.
01:44:37.180
And then you find that the head shed, in our case, the SAC and the ASAC are running their own, you know, part of the investigation and doing interviews you don't even know about.
01:44:46.460
And that happened to me on a big case we were working in.
01:44:50.220
But, yeah, certainly those things you mentioned are being looked at with regards to families.
01:44:59.200
And dovetailing that where Will is going, yes, with the cell phones and, yes, the FBI has their own unit that just does those types of things.
01:45:07.120
That's really all I'm going to really say about it.
01:45:08.980
But I will say, knowing that technology, I am concerned that here we are 12 days later and we don't have her body.
01:45:15.900
That makes me very nervous because, you know, I've been involved in cases where we never got her back.
01:45:22.540
You know, I can name one right now, you know, in South Carolina that we never got her back.
01:45:28.000
But that's what makes me nervous is I really would hope we'd have a break by now and something.
01:45:34.460
But, yeah, I think keeping on the I mean, Megan, another thing which was crossing my mind, and again, I'd be interested, obviously, in everybody's thoughts on this, is that I certainly know of a number of people who have pacemakers and who are in a fairly volatile or certainly delicate disposition.
01:45:52.120
And the sister being so close and certainly being involved in trying to assist, obviously, and provide support to Nancy, that they that maybe Nancy, did she have an emergency response tag, which she can press in the event that she may be having a heart attack or is in distress or falls over, like a lot of seniors will have.
01:46:12.460
And whether that they had that technology and and whether that was utilized.
01:46:18.920
I don't know. I haven't heard anything about the emergency response necklace.
01:46:22.680
And it's a good question, though, because that'd be your first move if somebody came into your bedroom in the middle of the night.
01:46:28.260
They haven't mentioned anything about it, which suggests to me maybe not.
01:46:30.720
And they did say that while she was limited physically, I mean, she could move.
01:46:44.340
It's like one of those before and after moments when, you know, you know, you're getting old.
01:46:48.120
My mom put it at when Mr. Rogers starts to look hot.
01:46:51.760
That's when she knew she knew she'd crossed over to the dark side.
01:46:59.680
And the prayers continue as we await going into day 12.
01:47:13.760
We're going to leave it there for today, but we will be back tomorrow with any updates
01:47:18.800
And if you have any thoughts you want to share with us, please send them to me.

Amazon presents Jeff vs. Taco Truck Salsa, whether it's Verde, Roja, or the orange one.
01:47:50.000
For Jeff, trying any salsa is like playing Russian roulette with a flamethrower.
01:47:57.340
Luckily, Jeff saved with Amazon and stocked up on antacids, ginger tea, and milk.
