We have major developments today in the Nancy Guthrie case.
00:01:18.340
A new Instagram message from Savannah this morning,
00:01:26.340
And we'll tell you what we saw in the message from Savannah
00:01:34.200
But first, President Trump's State of the Union is tonight,
00:01:48.440
My prediction, the Democrats will make fools of themselves
00:01:55.480
Trump will attack the Supreme Court justices who are there.
00:02:00.360
Some Democrats will pull some stupid stunt that we will mock.
00:02:16.180
The question on my mind is, will he throw in a line of,
00:02:27.580
because his poll numbers, as we discussed in AM Update today,
00:02:31.460
are reflecting a deep dissatisfaction with the economy,
00:02:54.140
So we will have full coverage again, as I said, tomorrow.
00:03:03.320
We know that the men's team is on their way to DC.
00:03:06.440
And it's like the controversy that's been developing
00:03:16.260
I mean, we're going to talk about it, of course,
00:03:18.620
but I think we need to start this hour by saying,
00:03:22.220
remember that normal Americans are not feeling anything
00:03:27.860
like the soundbites we're going to play for you
00:03:34.260
but they will not be able to change Americans' opinions
00:03:54.100
And joining me now with some of his own, Andrew Klavan.
00:03:57.420
He's host of The Andrew Klavan Show on The Daily Wire
00:04:09.000
and doctors just brush you off and chalk it up to age,
00:04:18.980
who lived this frustration firsthand during paramenopause
00:04:28.900
with a licensed clinician specializing in women's hormones.
00:04:46.200
you can add a 60-day supply of their estrogen face cream
00:04:58.320
J-O-I and blokes, B-L-O-K-E-S.com, slash M-K.
1.00
00:05:12.380
Use the code M-K at checkout for 65% off all your labs
00:05:29.520
because what they're claiming they're mad about
00:05:32.500
is that during Trump's phone call with the boys
00:05:43.380
he said, I want you to come to the White House.
00:05:46.560
Cash Patel clearly called the president on his phone
00:05:53.500
I would like to speak to the FBI director about his code.
00:06:01.520
saying all the fun things and congratulating them.
00:06:05.000
come to the White House or come to the State of the Union.
00:06:08.540
we're going to have to invite the women's team as well
1.00
00:06:22.360
we're going to have to bring the women's team.
1.00
00:06:24.920
I do believe I probably would be impeached, okay?
00:06:43.780
And lots of screams of, yeah, like, bring them.
00:06:49.820
into a controversy about misogynistic young men.
00:07:07.700
I mean, like, if men held a beauty pageant contestant,
00:07:12.580
Or fewer would watch than would watch the women.
0.95
00:07:15.380
There are a lot of things that women can do.
1.00
00:07:23.480
would be able to carry a reality show in that way
00:07:33.540
goes out on the golf course with him for 10 hours.
00:07:41.520
Michelle Obama actually told that exact story about Barack,
01:17:30.100
and said that you will all be criminally charged
02:17:23.340
carried she she dropped blood in a certain
0.99
02:19:41.360
move her and and that thing's falling at a
0.99
02:20:15.480
speculate to it but hair I think she was um
0.98
02:20:19.540
five foot five and 150 pounds um if she were
1.00
02:22:54.540
ask for money and then maybe she died she's
0.96
02:24:48.840
through that proof of life that you can narrow it
02:24:54.360
think this is the case because it's understanding
02:24:56.600
the the motivation behind that abduction why would
02:25:00.120
that abduction be taking place and what would be the
02:25:03.320
purpose for it other than to try and shake down
02:25:06.600
savannah in some shape or form for some financial
02:25:10.040
benefit and we look at Nancy's profile pretty low
0.99
02:25:12.600
profile in the area the sister and her husband low
02:25:15.640
profile savannah well-known face on the tv so you
02:25:19.880
know she was a a prime candidate for this kind of
02:25:23.160
extortion but because this garnished so much publicity
02:25:27.080
so quickly and I think because of our publicity hungry
02:25:30.120
sheriff especially giving interviews left right and
02:25:32.920
sent her I think if she was indeed taken for ransom
02:25:37.720
and then there's every good chance that the kidnapper or
02:25:40.920
kidnappers have panicked and and that unfortunately would
02:25:44.600
probably bring about the demise of Nancy because what else
02:25:47.400
are they going to do okay so now a new a new window has
02:25:55.000
opened because in this scenario Nancy's passed you can't
02:26:00.520
send proof of life anymore at this point I don't even know if
02:26:04.360
you could send hair I'm not even sure if hair would register as
02:26:07.560
coming from a deceased person you know but at this point they'd
02:26:13.240
well the hair would have her dna so that would that'd be great if
02:26:18.200
I know but can it tell you whether the person is dead or
02:26:20.120
right of course yes like if they pull it out from the root
02:26:22.920
I'm just gonna I don't know I mean I I've done some negotiations for the
02:26:27.960
return where it's been an unprofessional amateur group where
02:26:31.960
the hostage has died you know through their mishandling of
02:26:35.400
of the hostage but the family still wants obviously their relative back
02:26:40.520
now again this comes the difference between obviously law enforcement and
02:26:44.840
the private sector the private sector we can still through various
02:26:49.000
evidences determine obviously that they do have
02:26:51.480
um the person in question the hostage um for again the risk to negotiate even for
02:26:57.480
the return of someone who's deceased with a law enforcement agency increases
02:27:02.520
the chances of their apprehension and that that's unfortunately the big hurdle
02:27:08.360
what are you suggesting well might be smart for savannah right now like right now to
02:27:13.160
bring in someone like you and say it's too late you don't have to do the fbi
02:27:16.760
sadly it's too late and law enforcement will now have an obligation under law to
02:27:22.120
obviously continue their investigation so the likes of ourselves would be you know
02:27:27.000
just not a relevant element well what do you guys think jim james and
02:27:32.440
eric about the possibility now this window opens up you've you've stolen this
02:27:37.560
woman you can't ask for ransom because she's died this is an imaginary scenario we're
02:27:41.720
just speculating here but then savannah guthrie drops a million dollar a reward out there
1.00
02:27:48.680
and you you do know the answers to get you the money so what are the odds this guy now
02:27:58.600
through through an intermediary or through his own somehow says i know where she is if we're right
02:28:05.480
he's not going to give himself up yeah if we're putting it together and we're we're looking at it as
02:28:09.240
abduction abduction for money or kidnapping gone bad and nancy dies and now they have her and
02:28:14.200
they've been sitting on her uh thinking what are we going to do we can't really show a sign of life
02:28:20.360
without showing that um that she's passed and now there's a one million dollar reward
02:28:26.120
you could see someone saying hey i know where the body is right and um and i want to stay anonymous
02:28:33.560
and you need to give me that gets you the reward it gets you the reward because savannah said um
02:28:38.440
she finished it by saying a hundred thousand dollar or sorry a million dollar reward um you
02:28:44.520
can call 1-800 tip line you can be anonymous uh i'm trying to find the line but she said basically
02:28:51.160
consistent with fbi practices um you're oh this is on her instagram her caption reads someone knows how
02:28:57.000
to find our mom and bring her home call 1-800 call fbi you can remain anonymous or find a way to reach out to
02:29:01.560
me note family reward of up to 1 million will be paid only for recovery of nancy guthrie consistent
02:29:07.880
with fbi criteria for payment of its reward in this case the hundred thousand and we actually looked
02:29:12.680
up that criteria the fbi said reward is up to one hundred thousand dollars for info leading to the
02:29:19.000
location of nancy guthrie and or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance
02:29:26.280
so you can get the dough if you can just point them to the location of nancy guthrie keep going eric
02:29:30.760
right and well this the fear there would be of course that do i trust it right am i more worried
02:29:36.440
about my personal safety and security or the avarice of getting this reward because if you if you're that
02:29:43.560
savvy to go into a home abduct a person and not leave any of your dna behind then you gotta take the
02:29:49.960
next step at least to do some research to realize that there are methods that the fbi can use to track
02:29:55.160
back things and you have to make a communication in order to do this um uh so i mean i don't want
02:30:00.760
to say too much because maybe they're listening to the show and uh and the techniques that the fbi can
02:30:05.400
use um but you're you're banking here on the fact that they really want to make something off of this
02:30:10.600
they put in a lot of time and effort into it and criminals want to get paid they don't make money
02:30:15.960
unless they win um so it is possible that someone could come forward and say i know where the body is
02:30:21.400
and if you pay me i'll tell you and now you're getting up to real numbers you know don't forget
02:30:27.720
that backpack which they've determined came from walmart cost eleven dollars now that doesn't mean
02:30:32.920
this guy is has fallen on hard times lots of us would buy an eleven dollar backpack but the odds are
02:30:39.880
if you're on somebody's doorstep in the middle of the night wearing a ski mask trying to abduct an old
02:30:43.800
lady you're not rolling in dough and so you know you're talking a seven-figure reward i just want to i want to
0.99
02:30:50.840
get james to weigh in on this and i also want to talk about what now that so many of these things
02:30:54.840
have gone cold we'll keep you guys over if you don't mind stand by hey everyone it's me megan
02:31:00.040
kelly i've got some exciting news i now have my very own channel on sirius xm it's called the megan
02:31:06.520
kelly channel and it is where you will hear the truth unfiltered with no agenda and no apologies
02:31:11.960
along with the megan kelly show you're going to hear from people like mark halperin link lauren
02:31:16.120
maureen callahan emily jashinsky jesse kelly real clear politics and many more it's bold no bs news
02:31:23.320
only on the megan kelly channel sirius xm 111 and on the sirius xm app
02:31:32.840
okay and we're back so james your your thoughts on on all this on on where things stand now well
02:31:39.720
two things one it would be if we're going with that they did this at the behest of someone i'm
02:31:46.920
not going to say the son-in-law but it you know anybody you know had a reason to do this they
02:31:51.160
hired somebody to do it and then god forbid you know she died during the thing and they would call
02:31:57.080
back to the person saying hey we screwed this up she's dead and then more than likely the person
02:32:01.400
that hired him would say well i don't want to hear anything from you get rid of the body okay so the car and
02:32:05.560
the body that's your next step so where's the car does the sheriff have any leads on any burned out
02:32:11.560
cars where is the car you're not going to drive around with her dna in your car or have they taken
0.99
02:32:16.440
this car across the border to mexico and you know it's very telling that there's a group of ladies you
1.00
02:32:22.760
know and i'm aware of that group and that most of them are from mexico it happens so frequently that
02:32:27.400
they're looking for bodies that there there's a whole group that does this so that that's a problem
02:32:31.640
um so that's the first lead is do we have the car and then if it's not uh you know someone paid them
02:32:38.120
to do this and they just happen to go into this home to rob her and then all of a sudden they took
02:32:43.400
the body as you were saying because either their dna is on her or you know they think they can get
02:32:48.600
money from her somehow and then she dies same problem we got to do something with this body and
02:32:53.720
i don't think they're going to hold on to the body to try to get money out of it i think they're
02:32:57.160
running from this thing as fast as they possibly can get rid of the body get rid of the car all
02:33:01.720
that and then lastly i just want to say you i think you said something about you know that the guy was
02:33:07.880
smart enough to not get caught well how well was that scene process maybe maybe we missed something
02:33:13.800
maybe it's possible that the you know the people that worked that crime scene they've missed
02:33:18.200
something and and you know obviously there's a high degree of luck here in this situation and
02:33:23.720
and maybe he just got lucky but to me there's a lot of evidence that we still need and you know
02:33:30.040
i can't believe it's not there how how do you even go back and start finding that you know if you were
02:33:38.120
called in now james they said we need you you know suit back up come over here and start anew
02:33:44.920
how would you do it well you got to go back to the motive and who would have a motive to do this to
02:33:49.160
this lady you know is there a financial benefit for someone and that's where you start and you
0.98
02:33:54.120
gotta i mean why did this happen and usually it's motive because of money or revenge and that's where
02:33:59.560
you start and then everyone gets looked at again and really really in a very very difficult manner
02:34:06.280
it does seem impossible that this guy maybe more than one but this guy has stumped 400 law enforcement
02:34:14.920
trained seasoned in many cases law enforcement officers from the feds and the sheriff's department
02:34:20.600
it's shocking to me it's shocking that we're here we are 24 days later i i every weekend i kept feeling
02:34:26.280
like they were going to make an arrest um because there is so much evidence that i'm i'm seeing and
02:34:31.720
i don't see all i'm seeing is what i'm watching on television or on you know the internets and behind
02:34:36.440
the scenes they they have a lot more evidence so i just am shocked that here we are 24 days later and
02:34:42.920
we're nowhere right i feel like right now we're praying for a miracle will because yeah i mean the
02:34:50.040
list of i mentioned it so it's uh gun shops nothing video pics of the perp nothing dna inside the house
02:34:57.080
nothing dna on the gloves nothing uh raids nothing um nothing like absolutely nothing uh brian engine was
02:35:04.840
saying now they're going to hotels um trying to ask hotels if they have seen these faces or recognize
02:35:12.680
these names i don't know whether that's a that's turning into anything let's listen to it's not 59
02:35:18.600
and i reported that they were going to um gun stores in tucson with a list of 40 names
02:35:25.080
and 40 photos and there's new reporting today that they're doing the same thing at some hotels
02:35:31.240
what does that tell you i mean on day 20 should that make us think that they haven't really
02:35:36.520
narrowed it down to a couple of people well what i can tell simply by the nature of the case and and
02:35:43.960
what's been revealed to the public at least that doubtful they have contact with the kidnappers or
02:35:51.160
with the abductors uh it would be very unusual to to be so out front in the media and requesting public
02:36:00.040
assistance when you have some level of connection with the perpetrators so that tells me that they're
02:36:06.600
still struggling for those for indicators and clues that's quite interesting and do you guys agree with
02:36:13.640
that yeah totally i mean i agree with james and i agree with eric i mean there have been so many
02:36:19.880
eliminations of suspects um uh the denials or the end of potential evidences or potential clues i mean
02:36:28.520
it's just almost embarrassing because it doesn't give a great deal of hope that there's actually
02:36:34.920
anything positive or productive that's actually being carried out uh and even eliminating you know
02:36:40.440
more useful data like for example the local neighbors cameras uh traffic cameras that may
02:36:46.440
be in operating cellular data which may triangulate uh or whitelist residents phones but also other
02:36:53.160
individuals phones to determine particular leads that may be followed up on the imeis you know that
02:36:58.440
it just seems ridiculous that we're at day 24 and there's no positive um potential direction that we're
02:37:06.200
seeing here but eric this is this is your wheelhouse i think almost exactly because what that was a former
02:37:14.040
fbi agent retired fbi agent who worked in mexico for the feds our feds and um he he's saying what
02:37:20.840
what this tells me is that the authorities do not have contact with the kidnappers because they would
02:37:24.520
not be so flailing like gun shops hotels and like has anybody seen any of these people when you're in
0.51
02:37:30.920
an active negotiation with the people but here's why i want to ask you about it because harvey levin of
02:37:35.880
tmz has been saying all along that the feds rightly or wrongly took those first two letters
02:37:42.680
to harvey and then to and the two local stations and then just to the one local station very seriously
02:37:49.880
and that whatever was in those letters harvey intimates and i i'm sorry you do have to take
02:37:55.080
it with a grain of salt because harvey is seems to be very much in enjoying being at the center of a
02:38:00.760
piece of this case and he's been sensationalist in the way he has promoted it so it's possible
02:38:06.760
he's very into the ransom notes i'm not trying to insult the man i'm just saying we have to factor
02:38:10.680
this in he may be trying he may be in love with the alleged ransom letters because that's where he
02:38:15.640
came in all right so discount it however you wish but he says the feds took those two letters
02:38:22.840
extremely seriously and even after the deadline passed for the ransom to be paid continue to take
02:38:29.880
them very very seriously as like a possible lead into the abductor but you're the cyber guy so like
02:38:38.200
wouldn't if they really thought those bitcoin accounts or the one that was in the six million
02:38:43.240
dollar demand letter and then the follow-up letter was going to take them to nancy
02:38:48.040
they they'd know by now wouldn't they we'd have the guy well yeah so you never want to discount any
02:38:53.560
lead and it was a letter that was sent in and it suggests that there was some information in
02:38:58.040
there that at least made them raise an eyebrow and think that maybe they have some inside side
02:39:02.360
information uh now i will say really quickly i i think that everyone in law enforcement working the
02:39:08.280
case is probably pretty annoyed with tmz about dropping little hints of information that are just
02:39:13.400
not helpful at all now as for bitcoin yeah they could have put that amount of money that was asked
02:39:19.880
for and in in the bitcoin transaction they could have sent the keys to that amount of bitcoin to
02:39:26.440
the wallet that was provided which was verified as a real wallet in the first in those different
02:39:33.240
ransom notes now we don't know whether it's the same wallet we don't know if there's different
02:39:36.680
wallets if these are different individuals or the same and that's a problem for us well we were told
02:39:41.240
that the the account that was mentioned in letter number one asking for four million if by this
02:39:45.640
thursday or six if you wait till monday was the same bitcoin account referenced in this second letter
02:39:51.480
that came that didn't have proof of life that led to the first really forlorn video from the
02:39:57.960
guthrie family like right we understand so what could you do you could put some money in it from you
02:40:03.320
you could put some money in it and the way that bitcoin works is it's on open public ledger
02:40:07.880
so the transactions are all full and open in something called the blockchain and so what the fbi could have
02:40:14.040
done is sent the keys into that wallet for a million bitcoin a million dollars worth of bitcoin
02:40:21.240
or you know however many bitcoin and then watched the transactions to see whether the owners of that
02:40:28.520
wallet started to move the keys to other wallets that they own see the trick with bitcoin is we know
02:40:34.440
exactly where every cryptocurrency transaction is going to move it's on a public ledger but until the
02:40:42.360
individual moves that cryptocurrency to a wallet that they control that is attached to some sort
02:40:48.840
of a regulated entity like a bank or coinbase which is the most popular uh then you you can't actually
02:40:55.320
determine who is moving the money and what criminals do if they're very savvy let's say that these
02:41:00.360
kidnappers were working with some very good dark web cyber criminals they can move it through what's
02:41:05.240
called a mixer and the mixers take uh that transaction and move it into a wallet that has massive amounts
02:41:11.560
of keys that for bitcoin in and out and in and out and that makes it a lot harder for the fbi to track
02:41:17.400
it they've been very successful in the past um but either it was a negotiation with the family the
02:41:22.520
family didn't feel comfortable putting that money in or the fbi said it's not worth it we don't know
02:41:27.400
enough about this individual or we can't really confirm that this person knows the sufficient details to
02:41:34.040
take that risk so you know it's a crapshoot how sophisticated do you have to be to know
02:41:39.320
somebody who can give you access to a mixer very you have to be pretty sophisticated you have to be
02:41:45.080
at like foreign intelligence operative level sophistication in order to move those transactions
02:41:51.240
in a way that the fbi can't eventually follow um you know the top tier dark web cyber criminals
02:41:57.160
even fail at it um and you have to get it right every single time i want to know those guys yeah i know
02:42:03.880
those guys but they um but you yeah you they have to get it right every single time you can't make a
02:42:10.120
mistake or the fbi they're very good cyber investigators and uh they will just follow you
02:42:15.240
until you move it to a to a wallet where you try to get the funds because eventually they don't want a
02:42:19.800
bunch of bitcoin that they can't spend you can't buy anything with it they need to turn it into cold
02:42:24.920
hard cash that they can use and uh what does that tell you what does that tell you if anything about
02:42:30.920
the people who wrote those first two letters well look i i suspect that the letters are people who
02:42:37.640
are opportunists that saw this case and were able to at least provide enough information that made
02:42:44.360
the fbi law enforcement believe that it's possible this could be the kidnappers and then there had to be
02:42:50.520
a head scratcher when they never received any open communication so if you're savvy enough
02:42:56.440
to to to find a way to retrieve this money the ransom in bitcoin and then move it through the
02:43:03.320
dark web in order to evade law enforcement you're savvy enough to use different dark web message boards
02:43:09.080
using the tor network or other networks that can at least allow you to be uh somewhat anonymous and and
02:43:15.000
and they're they're pretty good uh to have a cute open communication but we do it all the time with
02:43:20.120
cyber what do you mean with the family yeah with the family with law enforcement we do it all the time
02:43:24.520
with cyber criminals so think of a different case where a a company is locked to all their data is
02:43:29.640
locked by a ransomware attack you know that ransom note that's sent on their servers usually has a
02:43:34.760
link to a dark web message board that keeps the attacker completely anonymous but you can collab you
02:43:40.760
can go back and forth literally typing you know your chat in the message board and they they can give
02:43:45.880
you information if they were that savvy that cyber savvy they could have set that up and the fact that
02:43:52.280
they didn't suggest to me that these uh these ransom notes are are not actually uh ransom notes from
02:43:59.240
kidnappers at all they're opportunists who uh decided they were going to try to cash in on this terrible
02:44:05.880
misfortune well you look like you absolutely i couldn't agree more with eric and certainly if they were
02:44:13.320
cyber capable and they did have the ability to use like eric mentioned tor networks or other means of
02:44:19.800
message boards through the dark web that wouldn't heed them in then presenting proof of life and the
02:44:25.720
proof of life could be communicated via those means again protecting their identity but verifying that
02:44:32.680
they are indeed the individuals that have a credible ransom demand so ultimately yes i mean as we always
02:44:40.280
guessed um these uh particular requests or demands that came in to harvey none of them had any
02:44:46.760
credibility until such time as they were going to provide proof of life of which neither of them
02:44:50.920
have hey megan that what were you gonna say that level of sophistication would not uh be in line with
02:44:58.280
using daisies to try to you know block the camera exactly so i i have a tough time with that one and
02:45:05.400
then the only i was just gonna say how discouraging it is to me that law enforcement is going to a hotel or a
02:45:11.160
gun store or you name it with a list of 40 names what is this casablanca and they're right riding up
02:45:17.160
the you know rounding up the usual suspects i've never gone with a list of 40 names like what that is
02:45:24.840
very discouraging to me yeah i know i i just like if you're so clearly this isn't i i agree it's it's not
02:45:35.400
it's it's almost certainly not the kidnapper who wrote those first two ransom notes or whatever
02:45:40.040
we're calling them but the thought of getting a million dollars has got to be tempting for this
02:45:44.840
guy like now we're talking real money and in the case of you know your common criminal life-changing
02:45:51.320
money so if you were advising savannah like how do you make it i i think i'd want to know how can i
02:46:03.720
assure this criminal i'm actually not that interested in catching him i actually genuinely
02:46:09.480
just want my mom back dead or alive and like i i want to make i i want to get him on the dark web i
02:46:17.480
want you know i know you feds you want to catch him but i just want my mom so like how do i telegraph
02:46:25.160
to him this is how you should contact me it's untraceable the feds can't get you you know what i
02:46:31.400
mean is there a way could you advise her in such a way that's what will's talking about yeah will
02:46:36.600
that's exactly what he's talking about you know people like will you know and he doesn't want the
02:46:42.280
fbi to know that but he could work for her and then behind the scenes be advising to do all those
02:46:48.120
things because from our standpoint but it's too late yeah from our standpoint we want to lock the guy
02:46:53.000
up if somebody comes up and says yeah i know where the body is well the next question we're going to
02:46:58.040
have is how the hell did you know that and you're we're looking at charging you we want someone
0.52
02:47:02.520
charged because we're looking at it from the law enforcement lens you know people like will you
02:47:06.920
know they try to i'm going to say they work outside the lines of law enforcement but they certainly
02:47:11.320
have a different you know interest which is let's get this body back and regardless of the justice
02:47:16.120
system so what you're saying is god forbid we have somebody in our lives kidnapped the first call we
02:47:21.880
make is to will not 9-1-1 that's what i would make yeah i mean it depends on the relative it
02:47:30.840
yeah of course i mean it really also depends on the jurisdiction and it depends on where it happens
02:47:35.480
so for example if it was in the united states uh for us it would be very difficult to operate outside
02:47:41.480
uh the boundaries of the law and uh and we wouldn't want to upset the likes of eric and james
02:47:46.840
it should be subsequently discovered the problem is is that savannah is a very well-known personality
0.99
02:47:53.160
she's a well-known individual and as eric mentioned much earlier on it was is a question of the opposite
02:47:58.520
because the operational security and the information security around this but if it was in another part
02:48:03.400
of the world where we wouldn't be able to trust i mean we the fbi probably some of the best kidnapped
02:48:09.160
negotiators there are out there and you know one would be able to work efficiently with them but if
02:48:14.360
you're in a part of the world where you don't trust law enforcement local law enforcement because
02:48:18.840
they may very well have some part to play in the kidnapping then you know again it's one of those
02:48:23.720
things which you ultimately you know may choose to do it outside and quietly and clandestinely
02:48:32.360
and now look you know the kidnappers are watching all of this too and they know that the fbi is very
02:48:39.240
involved and that it's very unlike it's unlikely that there's going to be an open way to communicate
02:48:44.760
where the kidnapper is going to be able to stay completely anonymous at this late date even if
02:48:50.760
they're if even if someone was set up if will or i set something up through a dark web network that we
02:48:57.080
created right just for this uh and with instructions for how you can get on here and and everybody can get
02:49:03.160
on here but no one will know who anyone is uh you know you're still going to think if you're the
02:49:07.160
kidnapper and you've been this cautious that it's a trap right and and once again you got a million
02:49:13.480
dollars not worth it to you yeah that calculation is that a million dollars is my greed overcome my
02:49:19.160
sense of personal security and it's 24 days out if you know you would think that we would have heard
02:49:25.880
something if they had her alive certainly and if she's not alive maybe some scheme to uh to try to get
02:49:32.760
money anyway at this point maybe kidnappers just or the abductor right not kidnapper has completely
02:49:38.280
given up yeah i would say they're a lost leader if you if you if i asked you if i were in this
02:49:44.200
position and i said will what's the number to shake something loose like what number you know pick your
02:49:51.480
sum but what's the number to to make somebody call um that's almost like the the length of a piece of
02:49:59.640
string is very very difficult to determine i think you know i agree with eric and james that i think
02:50:05.400
it's a lost leader for whoever has taken her if nancy if it was some sort of kidnapping for ransom
0.67
02:50:12.360
the issue is is that the risk is just way too great for them now the best thing that they could
02:50:17.000
do because there's still every good chance that the bureau is going to still try and chase them down
02:50:21.400
and find out who they are the foot it would be for them to leave nancy in a public area so she
1.00
02:50:27.480
could be discovered by a member of the general public um perhaps in an environment where there
02:50:32.360
is cctv coverage um but i would say that again they would want to evade detection and apprehension
02:50:38.840
but to to put her in a location where ultimately she could be found by a passerby by a member of the
02:50:45.320
general public and then at least giving the family some peace in terms of the returning of nancy but i think
02:50:52.840
any avenue that they try and pursue now uh is just gonna be too fraught with brisk you know but to go
02:50:59.160
back to the beginning you know like i said earlier there's no honor among thieves one million dollars
02:51:05.000
buys you a lot of grief in in between criminals so there could be someone who's on the periphery of
02:51:10.760
this had nothing to do with it just saw it knows about it is told to keep quiet who suddenly their their
02:51:17.160
lips loosen because a million dollars is on the line so there's the hope there i mean that is where
02:51:22.280
this can push somebody who had you know who is really far in the date line yeah it's the wife
0.70
02:51:29.720
of like a second tier accomplice yes in the date line it's like yeah the spouse of somebody who's
02:51:35.960
loyal to the guy but the spouse is not loyal to the guy and she's seeing a life-changing sum and they're
02:51:41.640
not primarily responsible so like maybe you have some responsibility but not the main responsibility
02:51:47.000
and the fbi would 100 cut you a deal yeah if you are a low-level perp attached to this as opposed
02:51:53.000
to the main guy people should know that too well another fascinating discussion you guys we'll do it
02:51:58.280
all over again when we get the next significant update appreciate talking to you and all your
02:52:02.680
expertise thank you thank you thank you megan yeah thank you wow oh my gosh i mean honestly we took a
02:52:10.440
day off and thought this case had really dried up and i think it has sadly i think it has dried up but
02:52:15.480
that that was a lot i mean that that's why savannah did the ransom note i mean she she did that message
02:52:20.520
because she knows it's drying up too she sees the media leaving i'm sure she's read the reports about
02:52:25.800
the cops drawing back in terms of the number of staff of course you know they have other crimes to
02:52:30.840
solve they have missing kids they have murderers you know they and and the guthries donated a
02:52:35.960
five hundred thousand dollars to the center for missing and exploited children too
02:52:39.800
so they've got other responsibilities there are missing children right now who don't get one
02:52:43.560
tenth of this coverage and attention and um things feel like they're starting to wither on the vine
02:52:49.800
so she's trying to keep the story in the news contrary to what the local lawmaker and some
02:52:55.000
other critics over at msnbc think is appropriate media coverage is a blessing for any family that has
02:53:02.040
a missing loved one we'll stay on it and we'll also stay on the state of the union and have that
02:53:06.840
fully covered for you tomorrow with the guys from rcp see you then thanks for listening to the megan
