- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie missing.
- 0:10Speaker 1: With this many agents on the ground, all the personnel,
- 0:15Speaker 1: all the technology, how is it possible? We take a
- 0:19Speaker 1: close look at exactly what the FBI is looking at
- 0:23Speaker 1: the tattoo on the porch guy's wrist, what can we learn?
- 0:29Speaker 1: Believe me a lot? This as the Pima County Sheriff
- 0:34Speaker 1: issues an urgent plea for every one in the surrounding
- 0:37Speaker 1: area to hand in video. Will it make a difference, Well,
- 0:42Speaker 1: when you don't know a horse, look at the track record.
- 0:45Speaker 1: The answer is yes. Also at this hour, the FBI
- 0:50Speaker 1: Behavioral Analyst unit carefully reviewing not just the porch guy video,
- 0:56Speaker 1: but the alleged ransom note why, straight out to Dave
- 1:02Speaker 1: Matt Crime Story's investigative reporter, Dave, a crew armed with
- 1:06Speaker 1: ladders has arrived at Nancy Guffries's home and gone up
- 1:10Speaker 1: on the roof. What can you tell me? Why are
- 1:12Speaker 1: they there?
- 1:14Speaker 2: This silver pickup truck with multiple ladders in the back
- 1:18Speaker 2: pulled onto the Guthrie property, pulled around the driveway and
- 1:21Speaker 2: got up on the house. We don't know what they
- 1:23Speaker 2: were looking for, and no announcement has been made, but
- 1:27Speaker 2: activity at Nancy Guthrie's home.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Now we've examined it like a Rubik's cube, over and over,
- 1:33Speaker 1: trying to discern what, if anything, we can learn from
- 1:37Speaker 1: the tattoo on the porch guy's wrist, and tonight our findings.
- 1:44Speaker 1: Joining us in All Star panel, but straight out to
- 1:46Speaker 1: special guest, Darren the Dude rosa tattoo artist, joining us
- 1:51Speaker 1: Rising Dragon Tattoos in New York City, thirty plus years
- 1:56Speaker 1: in the tattoo business. Mister Rosa, thank you for being
- 2:00Speaker 1: with us. Let's start controlling. Please show the video of
- 2:04Speaker 1: the purp approaching Missus Guthrie's porch. The FBI, according to sources,
- 2:10Speaker 1: has enlarged, refined, and brought in a team of analysts
- 2:15Speaker 1: to review the tattoo. As you see, he very carefully
- 2:20Speaker 1: covered his arms and wrists, not just because he doesn't
- 2:25Speaker 1: want to leave fingerprints. It's really hard to get an
- 2:29Speaker 1: arm print or an elbow print. That's not the reason
- 2:32Speaker 1: his body is totally covered. Now, let's iow the tattoo,
- 2:38Speaker 1: the sliver of tattoo that we see. We have learned
- 2:41Speaker 1: the FBI is doing exactly what we are doing. Darren
- 2:47Speaker 1: the dude, Rosa, you have studied this for hours. What
- 2:53Speaker 1: is as you call it, black and gray work?
- 2:58Speaker 3: Lacking gray work is a very prevalent style, not only
- 3:07Speaker 3: in the Southwestern area, but let's say the Southwestern area
- 3:11Speaker 3: among gangs. Mexican people who might be in these gangs
- 3:20Speaker 3: or cartels like to get black and gray. It's a
- 3:26Speaker 3: fine line. The outlines are done with a very fine needle.
- 3:31Speaker 3: The details, the shading is done with different dilutions of
- 3:38Speaker 3: black ink, and we termed that gray. So black and
- 3:43Speaker 3: gray is considered a style, and this is most likely
- 3:50Speaker 3: that style.
- 3:51Speaker 1: Now you mentioned gang cartel, I am certainly not convinced
- 3:58Speaker 1: that Nancy Guthrie's kid app has any of the hallmarks
- 4:01Speaker 1: of a cartel move. But what about a gang member?
- 4:07Speaker 1: Want to be what about family of gang member? What
- 4:10Speaker 1: about family of gang members and hangers on? I don't
- 4:15Speaker 1: think you can limit to just a gang or a
- 4:18Speaker 1: cartel member, because once a tattoo is observed by others,
- 4:25Speaker 1: they want to replicate it, right, and I want to
- 4:29Speaker 1: hone in on the black and gray. Okay, But as
- 4:32Speaker 1: to relating to a gang or a cartel, let's focus
- 4:36Speaker 1: on gang. Why do you believe the black and gray
- 4:43Speaker 1: is from the southwest or from a certain region of
- 4:47Speaker 1: the country, and what region exactly would that be, mister Rossa.
- 4:51Speaker 3: Okay, well, first of all, let's deal with just the
- 4:57Speaker 3: practicality of black and gray. If we're talking about a
- 5:02Speaker 3: tattoo that was done in the penitentiary, these inmates don't
- 5:09Speaker 3: have access to color ink, but most likely they don't
- 5:14Speaker 3: even want. This is a style that's been embellishing gangs
- 5:20Speaker 3: for years, and they've honed this style, this very subtle
- 5:26Speaker 3: gradations of ink to a fine art, and this is
- 5:33Speaker 3: even considered hallmarks of people who have moved up in
- 5:39Speaker 3: the echelons of a gang.
- 5:42Speaker 1: So why do you say that, Well, these people.
- 5:45Speaker 3: Are going to be doing a lot of time. They're
- 5:47Speaker 3: not giving up, they're not becoming informants. They're going to
- 5:50Speaker 3: be spending five years, ten years behind bars.
- 5:55Speaker 4: They have a lot of time to kill.
- 5:57Speaker 1: Guys with us is Darren the dude Russa joining us
- 6:02Speaker 1: from Rising Dragon Tattoos in New York City? Thirty years
- 6:06Speaker 1: plus of experience in the tattoo aren't black and gray? Now,
- 6:12Speaker 1: I just want to be sure we understand. Have you
- 6:14Speaker 1: ever seen a child with the coloring book, and they
- 6:17Speaker 1: outline the picture heavily with the crayon, and then there's
- 6:21Speaker 1: a lighter hue the same color on the inside. That's
- 6:26Speaker 1: how I'm equating your description of black and gray. Would
- 6:29Speaker 1: that be correct?
- 6:33Speaker 3: Well, no, because it wouldn't be with the same quote
- 6:37Speaker 3: unquote crayon. The dilutions is what I called it, are using.
- 6:45Speaker 3: You know, let's say it was penitentiary. So the dilutions
- 6:48Speaker 3: would be created using different concentrations of black ink diluted
- 6:55Speaker 3: with water, but most likely a little bit of alcohol
- 6:59Speaker 3: because you know, for germs, and it also helps spread
- 7:05Speaker 3: the ink and create a finer mist of shading the alcohol.
- 7:12Speaker 1: But black and gray work is a hallmark of a
- 7:16Speaker 1: certain region of our country. You're saying that too.
- 7:19Speaker 3: Oh, yes, and absolutely. This is also the kind of
- 7:23Speaker 3: the style of tattooing that withstands heavy sun exposure. So
- 7:30Speaker 3: because like I said, this style fine line typically single
- 7:35Speaker 3: needle work, and you know these people are are out
- 7:41Speaker 3: in the sun. The southern western states get heavy sun exposure.
- 7:46Speaker 3: So this style of artistry can withstand the elements.
- 7:56Speaker 1: You mentioned a single needle, would black and gray be
- 7:59Speaker 1: done with multiple needs to that degree of fineness?
- 8:02Speaker 3: The treating would be done with multiple needles. Typically, the
- 8:06Speaker 3: outline is done with a single needle, and it's actually
- 8:10Speaker 3: a very difficult style to do. So an artist can
- 8:20Speaker 3: gain quite a status in a penitentiary if he's adept
- 8:23Speaker 3: at this style.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Darren, the dude Rossa joining us from Rising Dragon Tattoos
- 8:27Speaker 1: in New York. What do you make of this tattoo
- 8:32Speaker 1: in the sense of I believe it's part of a
- 8:35Speaker 1: much bigger tattoo, and that leads me you think it's
- 8:39Speaker 1: part of a sleeve? What do you think?
- 8:42Speaker 3: Oh? Absolutely, I mean, if this is all we're seeing,
- 8:46Speaker 3: and what is this like barely half of an inch,
- 8:50Speaker 3: this is most likely the continuation of something that covers
- 8:55Speaker 3: this man's entire arm. Most likely he's got tattoos on
- 9:01Speaker 3: his hands, He's he's wearing this, this hooded mask, this
- 9:06Speaker 3: pola clava. Most likely he's got tattoos on his neck
- 9:11Speaker 3: and maybe even something under his eye, because this is
- 9:14Speaker 3: what they.
- 9:14Speaker 1: Do, Darren, you mentioned covering up his arm. Yes, I
- 9:19Speaker 1: want to get back to the full sleeve because to me,
- 9:22Speaker 1: from what I've observed from inmates over all the years
- 9:26Speaker 1: I prosecuted and investigated in covered crimes, once you start,
- 9:30Speaker 1: you can't stop. And that leads me to think this
- 9:34Speaker 1: on him looks part of a bigger tattoo that tells
- 9:37Speaker 1: me it's a full sleep. And once somebody gets the
- 9:41Speaker 1: full sleep, it's like they can't stop. I mean, do
- 9:44Speaker 1: you think people get addicted to getting tattoos? I do.
- 9:51Speaker 5: You know getting addicted?
- 9:53Speaker 3: Has you know that that stigma that this is like
- 9:57Speaker 3: heroin or something? But to focus on this guy, uh,
- 10:05Speaker 3: you know, he was probably an inmate at a penitentiary,
- 10:08Speaker 3: and let's not forget they have a lot of time
- 10:11Speaker 3: to kill. Yes, tattoos can be addictive. People use them
- 10:18Speaker 3: for therapy. They call it ink therapy.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Did you just say ink therapy?
- 10:24Speaker 5: What is that ink therapy? Yeah?
- 10:26Speaker 3: That's that's that's a phrase that's bouncing around. Especially in
- 10:33Speaker 3: the winter months right a lot of people get seasonal depression.
- 10:38Speaker 3: People come in for a little ink therapy, or they're
- 10:41Speaker 3: going through some stress in their life, maybe a divorce
- 10:46Speaker 3: or or something. Maybe they lost a loved one, a parent.
- 10:54Speaker 3: They come in for some therapy.
- 10:56Speaker 1: H never heard that. You just taught me something new. So, Darren,
- 11:02Speaker 1: if we believe that he has the wrist tattoo, which
- 11:07Speaker 1: is part of a sleeve. Why stop there, arego? It
- 11:12Speaker 1: follows that he would have a neck tattoo. And even more,
- 11:17Speaker 1: do you agree with that? That's who we're looking for.
- 11:19Speaker 1: That's why I care about this guy's tattoo.
- 11:21Speaker 3: I agree one hundred percent. I mean eighty two degrees.
- 11:25Speaker 3: And he's wearing his hooded mask. He's got tattoos on
- 11:28Speaker 3: his neck, most likely you know, on the edges of
- 11:32Speaker 3: his face. This is the kind of Southwestern state gangs.
- 11:38Speaker 3: They love getting heavily covered in black and gray style tattoos.
- 11:42Speaker 1: So in your experience to nail this point down thirty
- 11:48Speaker 1: plus years, Darren the dude Rosa. Once you start with
- 11:53Speaker 1: the wrist, the risk is part of a bigger tattoo,
- 11:56Speaker 1: which would be the sleeve. That's why they call it
- 11:58Speaker 1: a sleeve. It's like a leave of your shirt or jacket.
- 12:02Speaker 5: It's like your shirt.
- 12:03Speaker 1: The hand is covered could indicate part of the hand.
- 12:06Speaker 1: If you look at the picture game control room, you
- 12:08Speaker 1: don't see it ending as it goes down into the glove.
- 12:12Speaker 1: Does that signify a hand tattoo in your experience, does
- 12:17Speaker 1: that suggest to you that he would have another sleeve
- 12:20Speaker 1: on the other arm and possibly the neck. That's a
- 12:23Speaker 1: simple yes, no, absolutely yes. Okay, let's move from that.
- 12:30Speaker 1: So we're looking for a guy from this region, exposed
- 12:34Speaker 1: to the sun, potential gang connections, with a full sleeve
- 12:40Speaker 1: and hand, possibly two sleeves and neck. Now, is it
- 12:45Speaker 1: your experience that people that get tattoos first get their
- 12:52Speaker 1: dominant hand tattooed or their other hand non dominant? Which
- 12:57Speaker 1: one do they typically tattoo first?
- 13:01Speaker 3: Right, A lot of right handed people will start with
- 13:06Speaker 3: their left arm. So if this guy has his right
- 13:10Speaker 3: arm and it looks like he's right handed, because every
- 13:12Speaker 3: time he goes up to that ring camera, he starts
- 13:15Speaker 3: off with his right arm. That's my own little analysis
- 13:19Speaker 3: of his actions. He starts with his right and then
- 13:23Speaker 3: his left is kind of helping him. So I would
- 13:26Speaker 3: say he's fully sleeved on his left arm and then
- 13:31Speaker 3: he got his right arm done, because this is what
- 13:33Speaker 3: most people that have come into my studio do.
- 13:39Speaker 1: So he's right handed, so he would have typically start
- 13:44Speaker 1: with tests on the left and then go to the right.
- 13:47Speaker 1: So that tells me I can assume that he has
- 13:52Speaker 1: two sleeves and at least one hand and possibly the neck. Okay,
- 13:59Speaker 1: you have stated repeatedly references to jail tats. Now they're
- 14:06Speaker 1: called jail tats, But I believe this tattoo is not
- 14:10Speaker 1: a jail tat because, to my unstrained eye, after all
- 14:16Speaker 1: the years I have investigated and prosecuted defendants, jail tats
- 14:21Speaker 1: don't look good. They're very crude. This tat is not crude.
- 14:27Speaker 1: It's very refined. So why do you refer to jail tats.
- 14:32Speaker 3: Some of these inmates who spend a lot of time
- 14:37Speaker 3: in jail, they develop sophisticated networks with the guards, with
- 14:44Speaker 3: the staff. These days, it's very easy to smuggle in.
- 14:50Speaker 3: The machines have gotten smaller, compact, more sophisticated. It's my
- 14:56Speaker 3: belief that he got this while.
- 14:59Speaker 5: In garcerated, and.
- 15:03Speaker 3: The level of sophistication has become exponential even in populations
- 15:10Speaker 3: that are incarcerated.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Would inmates, let's say in the pen penitentiary CI correctional institute,
- 15:17Speaker 1: would they have access to multiple needles or do they
- 15:20Speaker 1: go single needle?
- 15:24Speaker 3: Well, like I said, the machines have become very sophisticated.
- 15:31Speaker 3: They've become compact. We now have a system that uses
- 15:37Speaker 3: cartridges that lock into the pen like apparatus. It would
- 15:44Speaker 3: be very easy. These these needles are about an inch
- 15:49Speaker 3: and a half. It would be very easy for them
- 15:51Speaker 3: to obtain a single needle for the line and a
- 15:55Speaker 3: cluster of needles for the shading.
- 16:00Speaker 1: When we're talking about jail house tats, here's my thinking.
- 16:03Speaker 1: If you're in a jail, think of Andy of Mayberry.
- 16:08Speaker 1: You're there for a brief period of time because you
- 16:12Speaker 1: have been sentenced to a misdemeanor, and they just keep
- 16:14Speaker 1: you in the county jail because you're going to be
- 16:16Speaker 1: out like that, there's no use in putting you in
- 16:17Speaker 1: the system. It takes forever, or you're awaiting trial or
- 16:20Speaker 1: a court date. Once you're sentenced, or you have a
- 16:24Speaker 1: long wait for trial, such as Epstein, you go into
- 16:29Speaker 1: a bigger facility and sometimes a CI correctional institute. But
- 16:34Speaker 1: those people are typically sentenced and doing a long stint.
- 16:38Speaker 1: Why do I care, Because if this guy was in
- 16:42Speaker 1: a CI to get that tattoo, that means he's got
- 16:45Speaker 1: a record. So now I've got a guy from the
- 16:49Speaker 1: Southwest region that spends a lot of time in the
- 16:51Speaker 1: sun that got black and gray work, likely has two
- 16:56Speaker 1: full sleeves and more and has done jailed time Okay,
- 17:02Speaker 1: isn't it true, Darren the dude Rosa, that at your
- 17:06Speaker 1: tattoo parlor, Rising Dragon, you have, for instance, a catalog
- 17:13Speaker 1: or a series of tattoos that your customers can look
- 17:16Speaker 1: at and pick out a tattoo. Isn't that true?
- 17:20Speaker 3: We do, But I would dare say that that these
- 17:25Speaker 3: people are not flipped catalogs. They're going off the cuff,
- 17:32Speaker 3: and an artist kind of gains cred by being able
- 17:38Speaker 3: to do sophisticated custom work.
- 17:41Speaker 1: Ah, so customer that they envision and they say, hey,
- 17:45Speaker 1: this is what I want. Now you created. Would you
- 17:48Speaker 1: agree that once you start with tats, very often you
- 17:54Speaker 1: stick with the same tattoo artists, and with tattoos of
- 17:57Speaker 1: this magnitude, you would remember doing.
- 18:01Speaker 3: It absolutely absolutely.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Have you ever been approached by law enforcement to identify
- 18:08Speaker 1: a tattoo?
- 18:11Speaker 4: Yes?
- 18:11Speaker 6: I have.
- 18:12Speaker 3: About twenty thirty years ago, I was approached by FBI.
- 18:19Speaker 3: They were trying to identify some of the victims, which
- 18:26Speaker 3: happened to be prostitutes or we could say sex workers.
- 18:34Speaker 3: This specific killer a serial killer. The police had pulled
- 18:41Speaker 3: over him in his pickup truck. They found a decapitated body,
- 18:48Speaker 3: which led them to more in the far rockaway Brooklyn area,
- 18:54Speaker 3: but my studio in Manhattan was one of the studio,
- 19:00Speaker 3: so they came to me to see if I could
- 19:03Speaker 3: identify any of these women.
- 19:08Speaker 1: Could you?
- 19:11Speaker 3: I did not recognize the particular tattoos Old Dough another artist.
- 19:19Speaker 3: I felt it was more his style.
- 19:22Speaker 1: Interesting. And here is the million dollar question. Let me
- 19:25Speaker 1: rephrase the one point two plus million dollar question. You've
- 19:30Speaker 1: looked at this sliver of tattoo. What do you think
- 19:34Speaker 1: it is? Is it a cross? Is it a flower?
- 19:38Speaker 1: Is it a demon? Is it a dragon? Is it
- 19:40Speaker 1: a creature like you've got on your neck? What is it?
- 19:44Speaker 3: Well, we can tell it's not geometric. It's it's got
- 19:50Speaker 3: wavy lines. The prevalent type of imagery these people get
- 19:59Speaker 3: h Catholic imagery of memorials to deceased gang members or
- 20:07Speaker 3: family members. Most likely it's saints, clouds, roses. These kind
- 20:18Speaker 3: of images that that memorialize family members are gang members
- 20:26Speaker 3: who become like family members to these people.
- 20:38Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Gray with me, Darren the Dude
- 20:46Speaker 1: Rosa thirty years in the business at Rising Dragon Tattoos,
- 20:50Speaker 1: New York City, also joining us special guest Jeffrey Gentry
- 20:58Speaker 1: Jeffrey Gentry, forensic certified, hold on, I don't want to
- 21:04Speaker 1: put all the stuff about blood pattern. Jeffrey Gentry, certified
- 21:09Speaker 1: forensics expert with a certain expertise in tattoos, author of
- 21:14Speaker 1: Forensic science Applications to Death and crime scene Investigation, and more. Jeffrey,
- 21:20Speaker 1: thank you for being with us now that you have
- 21:22Speaker 1: soaked in everything that Rosa had to say, as well
- 21:26Speaker 1: as study the tattoos. Sliver, I want to hear all
- 21:29Speaker 1: your thoughts.
- 21:31Speaker 7: You came to the right forensic analysts, Nancy. I love tattoos,
- 21:36Speaker 7: first of all. I usually am on the show with
- 21:39Speaker 7: a long sleeved shirt and tie for that very reason.
- 21:42Speaker 7: So if you look at my arms, I've got little
- 21:45Speaker 7: dead bodies, chalk outlines, I've got dinosaurs, I've got DNA
- 21:52Speaker 7: all up and down my arms. I've got Jurassic Park,
- 21:57Speaker 7: a little bit of everything, crime scene tape around my wrist,
- 22:00Speaker 7: and my tattoos are very special to me. It's things
- 22:05Speaker 7: that I enjoy, things that are personal about my life.
- 22:09Speaker 7: But you notice that my tattoos in a couple of
- 22:13Speaker 7: inches above my wrist, and I do that for a
- 22:15Speaker 7: very specific reason. I don't have any on my neck.
- 22:17Speaker 7: I don't have any on my wrist, and that's because
- 22:20Speaker 7: when I go into a courtroom or when I'm out
- 22:22Speaker 7: of a crime scene, I want to appear more professional.
- 22:25Speaker 7: So when you start looking at tattoos that are lower
- 22:28Speaker 7: down on the hands and wrists, you start thinking about
- 22:31Speaker 7: the people that.
- 22:33Speaker 5: Get these tattoos.
- 22:34Speaker 7: And they are people, like your tattoo artists said, provided
- 22:38Speaker 7: excellent information by the way they might have been in prison.
- 22:42Speaker 7: They might be parts of things they are most likely
- 22:45Speaker 7: not testifying as a professional in court. So that's more
- 22:50Speaker 7: of the like the psychiatric analysis or the behavioral analysis,
- 22:54Speaker 7: just figuring out what type of person might.
- 22:57Speaker 5: Have this tattoo.
- 22:59Speaker 7: Now you then have to create a link from identifying
- 23:03Speaker 7: the type of person that has the tattoo to the
- 23:06Speaker 7: specific person that has the tattoo. And this tattoo being
- 23:10Speaker 7: visible now can provide you a forensic link or a
- 23:15Speaker 7: positive idea on not only a person, but connecting them
- 23:19Speaker 7: to this crime scene. And so you have to think
- 23:20Speaker 7: about how are you going to figure out first of
- 23:23Speaker 7: all what this tattoo is, and then how are you
- 23:26Speaker 7: going to identify this person? And I think you're on
- 23:29Speaker 7: the right track with talking to tattoo artists like your guests,
- 23:34Speaker 7: because those are the people that are going to be
- 23:36Speaker 7: able to identify these specific, unique tattoos. I have personally
- 23:41Speaker 7: investigated cases where as a death investigator, I have identified
- 23:45Speaker 7: bodies with tattoos, and you have to get a little creative.
- 23:49Speaker 7: One case that I had, in particular, it was a
- 23:51Speaker 7: man that was found out in a river and he'd
- 23:53Speaker 7: been in the river for I don't remember if it
- 23:56Speaker 7: was days or weeks, but his body was severely decomposed.
- 24:00Speaker 7: He had a really unique tattoo on his body, and
- 24:03Speaker 7: so during the death investigation, we were not able to
- 24:05Speaker 7: identify fingerprints, We couldn't identify this person with dental records.
- 24:09Speaker 7: So what I did is I took pictures of this
- 24:11Speaker 7: unique tattoo and put it out in the news, and
- 24:15Speaker 7: literally within a couple of hours, you had family calling
- 24:18Speaker 7: and saying that they believe that that was their relative
- 24:20Speaker 7: that was found. So that's the first step is trying
- 24:24Speaker 7: to figure out who this person is, who they possibly are,
- 24:27Speaker 7: But then the second part is physically matching that up
- 24:31Speaker 7: with the person. And so there's a lot of different
- 24:34Speaker 7: resources available, especially now with AI and all these online
- 24:39Speaker 7: search engines. So you would want to enhance the tattoo
- 24:43Speaker 7: photograph as much as possible, put it into some kind
- 24:46Speaker 7: of photograph recognition software, and generate some leads. The other
- 24:51Speaker 7: option is, like we talked about, putting it out in
- 24:53Speaker 7: social media, your guests, your viewers, all of the people
- 24:57Speaker 7: that are interested in this case going to be a
- 25:00Speaker 7: tremendous resource because I might see it as maybe being
- 25:04Speaker 7: a snake or a skull or part of the name,
- 25:06Speaker 7: but your tattoo artist or one of your guests who
- 25:10Speaker 7: does a lot of research might see it as something
- 25:12Speaker 7: completely different. And so we have to start generating leads,
- 25:14Speaker 7: and it's going to come from the public and people
- 25:16Speaker 7: that are familiar with tattoos, like your tattoo artists. Most
- 25:20Speaker 7: tattoo artists have a specific style, like your guests talked about.
- 25:25Speaker 7: So I would get this tattoo photograph out to as
- 25:28Speaker 7: many local tattoo artists as possible and see what they
- 25:31Speaker 7: can tell you.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Every little is going to help.
- 25:34Speaker 7: And then social media TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, get those tattoo
- 25:39Speaker 7: pictures out there and see what people.
- 25:41Speaker 5: Can come up with.
- 25:42Speaker 7: Because once you have some leads and you can kind
- 25:46Speaker 7: of start nearing down suspects. Also, anytime somebody is contacted
- 25:51Speaker 7: by the police, whether it be an arrest or just
- 25:54Speaker 7: a contact, police are generally going to document tattoo information,
- 25:59Speaker 7: and it's going to be very general when it's documented
- 26:02Speaker 7: in police records. But you can search that I've identified
- 26:06Speaker 7: victims of crimes and deceased people with just basic tattoo information.
- 26:11Speaker 7: Now I've done so very quickly out of crime scenes.
- 26:14Speaker 7: So if it's visible on the hand, like to say,
- 26:17Speaker 7: for example, the police made with this person in the past.
- 26:20Speaker 7: If it's visible on the hand, that should be documented
- 26:22Speaker 7: somewhere in police records.
- 26:24Speaker 1: Absolutely based on the gang database information not only with
- 26:30Speaker 1: the FEDS and of course tag tattoo and graffiti subspecialty.
- 26:35Speaker 1: It's a very elite crew within the FBI at Quantico
- 26:39Speaker 1: that analyzes not only graffiti, but more often tattoos, and
- 26:44Speaker 1: that is put in a data bank. Even Arizona, the
- 26:46Speaker 1: state has a gang and tattoo data bank right now.
- 26:50Speaker 1: The FBI doing much of what Gentry is describing for
- 26:54Speaker 1: us tonight.
- 26:57Speaker 6: Hi, there, everybody. I wanted to come on and just
- 27:04Speaker 6: share a few thoughts as we enter into another week
- 27:11Speaker 6: of this nightmare. I just want to say First of all,
- 27:17Speaker 6: thank you so much for all of the prayers and
- 27:24Speaker 6: the love that we have felt, my sister and brother
- 27:27Speaker 6: and I, and that our mom has felt.
- 27:34Speaker 1: Because we believe that.
- 27:36Speaker 6: Somehow, in some ways, she is feeling these prayers and
- 27:39Speaker 6: that God is lifting her even in this moment and
- 27:41Speaker 6: in this darkest place, we believe our mom.
- 27:46Speaker 1: Is still out there.
- 27:50Speaker 4: We need your help.
- 27:54Speaker 6: Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock trying to
- 27:59Speaker 6: bring her home, to find her. She was taken and
- 28:03Speaker 6: we don't know where, and we need your help. So
- 28:10Speaker 6: I'm coming on just to ask you, not just for
- 28:13Speaker 6: your prayers, but no matter where you are, even if
- 28:16Speaker 6: you're far from Tucson, if you see anything, you hear anything,
- 28:21Speaker 6: if there's anything at all that seems strange to you
- 28:26Speaker 6: that you report to law enforcement. We are an hour
- 28:32Speaker 6: of desperation.
- 28:35Speaker 1: And we need your help. Also, in addition to a
- 28:40Speaker 1: team of experts analyzing the tattoo, the behavioral body language
- 28:45Speaker 1: of the porch guy, and more reims, a video is
- 28:50Speaker 1: being analyzed and categorized. Now we see Pima County sheriffs
- 28:56Speaker 1: begging the public for help. Take a look at what
- 29:00Speaker 1: they have posted. It says it is an urgent request
- 29:05Speaker 1: for all neighbors and people in the area, not necessarily
- 29:09Speaker 1: just neighbors. We saw what happen when the radius was
- 29:12Speaker 1: limited to just two miles. A glove popped up beyond
- 29:16Speaker 1: two miles and video has popped up that could be significant.
- 29:21Speaker 1: Pema County Shares Department Evidence Submission Portal. Dave Matt Crime
- 29:26Speaker 1: Stories investigative Reporter. What is it?
- 29:29Speaker 2: A new website created specifically for the public to send
- 29:34Speaker 2: in their video, the security video from Nest cameras, ring cameras,
- 29:39Speaker 2: any video, any pictures they have. It's been mentioned that
- 29:43Speaker 2: in the neighborhood where this took place, we have some
- 29:47Speaker 2: senior citizens that might not be as adept with electronics
- 29:50Speaker 2: and transferring video. This makes it very very simple. They
- 29:54Speaker 2: click one button and can upload their video so the
- 29:57Speaker 2: law enforcement investigators can actually see video for the first time.
- 30:02Speaker 2: In some cases that might lead to a solution.
- 30:07Speaker 1: Straight out to Scott Iiker, joining US digital forensics expert,
- 30:11Speaker 1: founding member of the FBI Cellular Analysis Survey Team on
- 30:16Speaker 1: the Homicide Squad at Norfolk, Virginia for over a decade.
- 30:20Speaker 1: Now with precision cellular analysis, you're seeing this video supply
- 30:26Speaker 1: to US by our friends at Fox, Scott Iiker, what
- 30:29Speaker 1: do you make of the plea and we have seen?
- 30:33Speaker 1: At first Nano stated that the video we were just
- 30:36Speaker 1: showing Scott of the cars racing by around the time
- 30:40Speaker 1: that Nancy goes missing, that that was unrelated and didn't matter.
- 30:45Speaker 1: Now it turns out to be one of the single
- 30:47Speaker 1: most important pieces of evidence, next to the porch Guy video.
- 30:53Speaker 1: Now an urgent request for video submissions. What do you
- 30:58Speaker 1: make of a Scott Iiker.
- 31:00Speaker 8: As the investigation continues and kind of morphs one way
- 31:04Speaker 8: or the other, you start wandering wanting to get video
- 31:08Speaker 8: from several different aspects. Now we have the cars going
- 31:12Speaker 8: by the cactus there and made it in the night
- 31:15Speaker 8: around the time she went missing. Now they're going to
- 31:17Speaker 8: expand out further, saying, hey, we want more video in
- 31:20Speaker 8: this area. The more the better, right, I mean, if
- 31:24Speaker 8: it's not related, we'll figure that out later, but please
- 31:26Speaker 8: get us the video now so it doesn't get lost
- 31:30Speaker 8: before it's overridden, so we can have that data and
- 31:35Speaker 8: use it later on when we need it.
- 31:37Speaker 1: Also joining us in addition to Scott Iiker, former fed
- 31:41Speaker 1: with the FBI is Brian Fitzgibbons, Fitzgibbons is director of
- 31:46Speaker 1: Operations at USPA Nationwide Security that leads a team of
- 31:49Speaker 1: investigators around the world, including extractions from Mexico in finding
- 31:54Speaker 1: missing people. Former marine Iraqi more Vet. I want to
- 32:00Speaker 1: talk to you about video submissions on how they have
- 32:04Speaker 1: cracked cases in the past, Fitzgibbons. First of all, just
- 32:08Speaker 1: off the top of my head is Brian Coburger. After
- 32:13Speaker 1: four students were killed, a clerk at a local gas
- 32:18Speaker 1: station convenience store took it upon herself to wade through
- 32:22Speaker 1: hours of video. She sees a white Launchra speed by
- 32:26Speaker 1: the intersection, which was near the king wrote address one
- 32:30Speaker 1: of the only ways to get to it, I might add,
- 32:34Speaker 1: she gets it. She tells law enforcement and they first
- 32:37Speaker 1: become aware of a white Elantra. They put out the
- 32:40Speaker 1: word white Elantra to all local law enforcement, including Washington
- 32:45Speaker 1: State University pullman. The campus security go through their records,
- 32:52Speaker 1: who's registered here with a white Elantra, and the name
- 32:55Speaker 1: Brian Coburger pops up for the first time. Then this
- 33:01Speaker 1: neighborhood surveillance video catches the white Elantra at least seven
- 33:05Speaker 1: times circling the area. BAM busted. Then of course, there
- 33:12Speaker 1: is the case of the so called glam yoga instructor
- 33:17Speaker 1: Caitlin Armstrong. There is her suv circling the murder scene
- 33:22Speaker 1: before she goes in and murders her love rival, a
- 33:26Speaker 1: world champion dirt bike racer, a woman who Armstrong suspected
- 33:35Speaker 1: of stealing her boyfriend. Completely untrue, but dead body she's
- 33:40Speaker 1: caught on surveillance video. Then, of course we have to
- 33:46Speaker 1: mention Molly Tibbetts. A beautiful young co ed studied all day,
- 33:50Speaker 1: goes out for a jog when she is approached by
- 33:54Speaker 1: a dark colored suv that keeps following her. When she
- 33:58Speaker 1: threatens to call nine to one one, the purp kills
- 34:01Speaker 1: her and throws her body in a cornfield. He's identified
- 34:06Speaker 1: through distinct markings on the side of his vehicle. What
- 34:11Speaker 1: do you make, Fitzgibbons. The PMA County Sheriffs now urgent
- 34:15Speaker 1: request for residents, neighbors and more to submit their video.
- 34:23Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 34:23Speaker 9: First, I'll say that that website, the portal they have
- 34:28Speaker 9: is perfect. It's very simple and easy for anybody to
- 34:32Speaker 9: upload their video. And Scott Aiker hit the nail on
- 34:35Speaker 9: the head. Time is of the essence right now, anybody
- 34:39Speaker 9: in that greater Tucson area that has any video on
- 34:44Speaker 9: or around the date that Nancy disappeared, It's important that
- 34:47Speaker 9: they get to this site and upload it and let
- 34:51Speaker 9: the experts, let the analysts go through it and figure
- 34:54Speaker 9: out if it's if it's valuable or not. But anything
- 34:57Speaker 9: on her about that time of her disappearance could potentially
- 35:01Speaker 9: have value and could potentially help break the case.
- 35:05Speaker 1: Doctor Bethany Marshall joining us renowned psychoanalyst out of the
- 35:08Speaker 1: California jurisdiction. You can see her on peacock. She is
- 35:13Speaker 1: the author of deal Breakers, and you can find her
- 35:16Speaker 1: at doctor Bethany Marshall dot com. Doctor Bethany Marshall. The
- 35:21Speaker 1: FBI and local law enforcement has kept close to the
- 35:24Speaker 1: vest the ransom notes. I'm not sure why, but it
- 35:28Speaker 1: seems to me that a lot could be gleaned from
- 35:31Speaker 1: the ransom notes. And let me just throw out the
- 35:33Speaker 1: example of te Kazinski, the unibomber. His manifesto, remember it
- 35:38Speaker 1: was finally published in the New York Times. Once it
- 35:42Speaker 1: was published, and he terrorized our country for decades. Murder
- 35:46Speaker 1: meant nothing to him. His brother recognized certain vernacular phrases
- 35:52Speaker 1: phraseology in the manifesto. He said, that's got to be
- 35:55Speaker 1: my brother, for Pete's sake. Then there's BTK buying torture
- 35:59Speaker 1: kill Dennis Raider, he taunted the Oh my goodness, there
- 36:03Speaker 1: he is dressed up in the victim's clothing. Freak. He
- 36:06Speaker 1: taunted law enforcement and media with these typewritten notes. Idiot.
- 36:14Speaker 1: Of course, the typewriter can be tracked back to a
- 36:17Speaker 1: certain typewriter, even not just with the keys with an
- 36:21Speaker 1: older model, but with a ball type such as found
- 36:25Speaker 1: on the IBM Selectra. You can get it from the
- 36:27Speaker 1: ribbon in a Selectra. So the use of a typewriter
- 36:34Speaker 1: in our case, the use of email, the content of
- 36:39Speaker 1: those ransom letters could tell me a lot. This video
- 36:44Speaker 1: from our friends at IBM. And of course there's John
- 36:46Speaker 1: ben a Ramsey, for Pete's sake, who says hints. Who
- 36:49Speaker 1: do you know except me occasionally that uses the word hints. Hints.
- 36:54Speaker 1: That's what the ransom letter said. So why are they
- 36:59Speaker 1: keep think close to the best of What can we
- 37:01Speaker 1: learn from the ransom letter? Doctor Bethany, You.
- 37:03Speaker 10: Know, Nancy, those ransom notes are a treasure trove of information.
- 37:07Speaker 10: For instance, the BTK killer was a very rigid, regimented guy.
- 37:11Speaker 10: Remember he was a local dogcatcher. He would measure everybody's
- 37:16Speaker 10: grass on their lawns to make sure it didn't grow
- 37:18Speaker 10: too much, and that the way he wrote. The typewritten
- 37:22Speaker 10: ransom note reflects those characteristics because it's very rigid, very
- 37:26Speaker 10: small type. But moving on to Nancy Guthrie, it can
- 37:30Speaker 10: tell us what the intent or the motivation of the
- 37:33Speaker 10: kidnap is. For instance, if the motivation is simply money,
- 37:38Speaker 10: then the ransom note is going to be fairly short,
- 37:42Speaker 10: with very detailed information about how to submit to send
- 37:47Speaker 10: the money. However, if it's more like a kidnapp because
- 37:52Speaker 10: somebody is stalking Nancy because they're obsessed with her, they're
- 37:56Speaker 10: obsessed with Savannah or maybe one of the other siblings,
- 37:59Speaker 10: then there's going to be more of a manifesto type quality.
- 38:03Speaker 10: These people stalkers love to write about it, they love
- 38:06Speaker 10: to talk about it, So in this case we would
- 38:09Speaker 10: see somebody putting a lot of information into that ransom
- 38:12Speaker 10: note Nancy. There are also what I call affectations. These
- 38:16Speaker 10: are verbal flourishes that people use to make what they're
- 38:21Speaker 10: talking about appear way more important than it really is.
- 38:25Speaker 10: And I tend to think of criminals as being rather narcissistic, shallow,
- 38:30Speaker 10: empty people who have to prop themselves up, so they
- 38:33Speaker 10: would be more likely to use an affectation like maybe
- 38:37Speaker 10: the misuse of a big word that makes them feel
- 38:42Speaker 10: like they're very smart, and they misuse that word all
- 38:45Speaker 10: the time. So and the public is going to be fascinated.
- 38:49Speaker 10: One other quick thing, Nancy, It's important to know what
- 38:53Speaker 10: the writer of the note saw in Nancy Guthrie's room
- 38:58Speaker 10: that could be verified, because because is it something that
- 39:01Speaker 10: any kidnapper would see, like a kidnapp for ransom, or
- 39:07Speaker 10: is it something that a stalker would see, like maybe
- 39:12Speaker 10: a family photograph or maybe, I hate to say it,
- 39:15Speaker 10: a pair of underwear, a pair of stalking something highly
- 39:19Speaker 10: personal that the kidnapper would want to have control over
- 39:23Speaker 10: in order to gain proximity to the victim.
- 39:26Speaker 1: Bethany point while taken the video we were just showing
- 39:29Speaker 1: is from our friends to the Today Show, to braf
- 39:33Speaker 1: Its Gibbons, what do you make of law enforcement holding
- 39:37Speaker 1: on to the ransom nuts and remember there were threats
- 39:41Speaker 1: to Nancy Guthrie in there. Now. One theory is that
- 39:45Speaker 1: the description of the inside of her home was given
- 39:49Speaker 1: because they can no longer offer proof of life. They
- 39:55Speaker 1: could not send a photo or a video. I'm Nancy
- 39:58Speaker 1: Guthrie to show proof of life. That's one train of thought.
- 40:03Speaker 1: But there were threats against Nancy and details regarding the
- 40:08Speaker 1: inside of her home, So why not release the ransom notes?
- 40:12Speaker 1: Fitz Gibbons, You've got a theory.
- 40:15Speaker 9: Yeah, So, first of all, the FBI doesn't do things
- 40:19Speaker 9: because they have nothing to lose. They do things when
- 40:22Speaker 9: they have something to gain. And in this case, I
- 40:25Speaker 9: believe we do know quite a bit about the ransom
- 40:28Speaker 9: notes that were sent to the media outlets, that they
- 40:31Speaker 9: were delivered via email. They were not that long, the
- 40:36Speaker 9: writing wasn't that long. And similar to Ted Kaczinski, his
- 40:42Speaker 9: manifesto released by the FBI in nineteen ninety five had
- 40:45Speaker 9: over thirty five thousand words. So the FBI was very
- 40:50Speaker 9: confident in that case that someone might be able to
- 40:53Speaker 9: identify his ideology, his writing style, things that he was
- 40:58Speaker 9: saying in that long detailed manifesto. In John Bennet Ramsey's case,
- 41:05Speaker 9: this was a handwritten letter, Okay, that someone may be
- 41:09Speaker 9: able to identify the handwriting, the way that words join together.
- 41:14Speaker 9: So I think in this case it's it's that the
- 41:17Speaker 9: FBI is determined that they don't have anything to gain.
- 41:20Speaker 9: There may be a chance that copycat demands are sent
- 41:26Speaker 9: out if that's released, and then it distracts from the
- 41:29Speaker 9: momentum of the case.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Joining us now, Jeffrey Gentry forensic certified analyst with quite
- 41:39Speaker 1: the expertise with law enforcement and tattoos obviously, But jeff
- 41:43Speaker 1: what do you make of them refusing to release is
- 41:45Speaker 1: ransom note or any of them providing they are in
- 41:50Speaker 1: fact connected.
- 41:52Speaker 7: A lot of times when there is a police investigation
- 41:56Speaker 7: and there is something specific that the police do not
- 42:00Speaker 7: want to release, it's usually because it's unique and it
- 42:04Speaker 7: can be a unique identifier of this suspect. So say,
- 42:08Speaker 7: for example, the suspect mentioned something that nobody else would
- 42:11Speaker 7: know or nobody.
- 42:12Speaker 4: Else would say.
- 42:14Speaker 7: You don't want to just release that information to the
- 42:16Speaker 7: public because then everybody's going to know it. So when
- 42:19Speaker 7: they start questioning this suspect, when they catch them, they
- 42:22Speaker 7: want to be able to ask them about this specific
- 42:24Speaker 7: information that maybe no one else would say or nobody
- 42:27Speaker 7: else would be able to identify. That way they can
- 42:30Speaker 7: know that they have the right person. So that there's
- 42:32Speaker 7: usually a reason that you don't release this information to
- 42:34Speaker 7: the public, and that's usually why you want to have
- 42:38Speaker 7: something in your pocket to be able to ask these
- 42:41Speaker 7: people that is going to trigger reaction and be able
- 42:45Speaker 7: to be used as a unique identifier when they apprehend
- 42:48Speaker 7: this suspect. That's my theory on why they're not releasing
- 42:51Speaker 7: this information to the public because they have something specific
- 42:54Speaker 7: that they're going to be able to use to identify
- 42:56Speaker 7: this suspect when they catch them.
- 42:58Speaker 1: An elite squad at Quantu, the FBI trying to create
- 43:03Speaker 1: a shoe cast. This as we learn the FBI has
- 43:08Speaker 1: returned to a particular restaurant to reinterrogate restaurant employees. And
- 43:15Speaker 1: what about the possibility of retinal scanning of the porch
- 43:21Speaker 1: guy and this as apb All points bulletin on a
- 43:27Speaker 1: mail trying to have a full sleeve removed, a full
- 43:34Speaker 1: sleeve tattoo removed. Good evening. I mean, see, Grace, this
- 43:38Speaker 1: is crime Stories. I want to thank you for being
- 43:41Speaker 1: with us. Maybe the stalker did glean a lot, but
- 44:09Speaker 1: what evidence did the purp I'm not convinced he's a
- 44:12Speaker 1: stalker of Nancy Guthrie. I think that he is a
- 44:15Speaker 1: con trying to make a quick dollar or a million.
- 44:19Speaker 1: What clues did he unwittingly leave behind. We have analyzed
- 44:24Speaker 1: him from the top of his head to the soles
- 44:26Speaker 1: off his shoes. Enter Professor Forensics, Jacksonville State University, Joseph
- 44:32Speaker 1: Scott Morgan, death investigator, author of Blood Beneath My Feet
- 44:36Speaker 1: on Amazon, and star of a hit podcast series Bodybags.
- 44:41Speaker 1: With Joseph Scott Morgan, I was concerned about any possibility
- 44:45Speaker 1: of a shoe print because the walkway to Nancy Guthrie's home,
- 44:49Speaker 1: if we could see that, I believe is gravel. But
- 44:52Speaker 1: let's start with A and end at Z. What is
- 44:56Speaker 1: a shoe cast and what is electromagnetic lift?
- 45:00Speaker 11: Okay, there's any number of ways to raise a shoe print,
- 45:04Speaker 11: if you will. Traditionally what we think of and we
- 45:06Speaker 11: still do this, Nancy. If you think about a foot
- 45:09Speaker 11: going into a soft malleable surface like mud, soft dirt,
- 45:13Speaker 11: even sand, you leave behind an impression, okay, and we
- 45:18Speaker 11: can cast that. We can put dental stone in there,
- 45:21Speaker 11: let it dry, pull it out, and you have this
- 45:23Speaker 11: image of the shoe print. Here we have an example,
- 45:26Speaker 11: for instance, of an electrostatic lift. This is completely different.
- 45:29Speaker 11: This is where we put down a charged sheet of
- 45:34Speaker 11: my laar and it actually goes over an area where
- 45:38Speaker 11: there is a suspected print that's generally left in soil
- 45:42Speaker 11: or dust. That's not really you're not able to see
- 45:45Speaker 11: it with the unaided eye very well. But what it
- 45:48Speaker 11: does is that there is a magnetic charge and that
- 45:51Speaker 11: lifts that print off of that surface and you can
- 45:54Speaker 11: pull it up and you can actually examine it. Here
- 45:57Speaker 11: we have an example of an electro static lift being
- 46:00Speaker 11: conducted just yesterday at Jacksonville State And for my money,
- 46:06Speaker 11: in this particular case, Nancy, I'm leaning more into the
- 46:11Speaker 11: electric electrostatic lift here because you know, you don't have
- 46:15Speaker 11: a lot of soft mud around there or soft dirt
- 46:18Speaker 11: that you're going through. But even if you look at
- 46:21Speaker 11: that porch, Nancy, look at that porch, those are tiles
- 46:24Speaker 11: out there. Now, there would be a myriad of prints
- 46:27Speaker 11: out there. But what if they went in there and
- 46:29Speaker 11: actually did electrostatic lifts there. And also if they can
- 46:33Speaker 11: determine where the point of entry is in this house,
- 46:36Speaker 11: go to the interior of the house and do those
- 46:39Speaker 11: lifts there. If there's an area around her bed where
- 46:42Speaker 11: you've got kind of a smooth, non porous or less
- 46:45Speaker 11: than poor surface like a ceramic tile there, which a
- 46:49Speaker 11: lot of houses in the Southwest. Have you do that
- 46:52Speaker 11: around her bed? You see if there's any kind of weird,
- 46:55Speaker 11: weird prints that are there, like a man sneaker in
- 46:57Speaker 11: print that's left, and that is possible, you can do that.
- 47:01Speaker 11: I just hope it's not too late. I hope that
- 47:03Speaker 11: they protected that scene initially, but I got to tell you,
- 47:07Speaker 11: hope's deming as far as I'm concerned.
- 47:10Speaker 1: Jo Scott Morgan, don't you remember at the get go
- 47:14Speaker 1: where anybody and their little sister could walk up to
- 47:18Speaker 1: the front porch and take photos because Nanos did not
- 47:21Speaker 1: secure the scene, not once, but twice did not secure
- 47:24Speaker 1: the scene. Gules were going up and taking photos of
- 47:28Speaker 1: Nancy Guthrie's blood on the front porch. This is from
- 47:31Speaker 1: our forensic kold. And as a matter of fact, someone
- 47:34Speaker 1: tried to deliver a pizza to the crime scene. That's
- 47:38Speaker 1: how unprotected it was. How is that going to affect
- 47:41Speaker 1: any hope of a shoe cast tremendously?
- 47:44Speaker 11: As you know as an attorney, Nancy, Once you take
- 47:46Speaker 11: that tape down, it is open season. At that point,
- 47:49Speaker 11: any attorney worth their salt can argue, hey, look, anything
- 47:52Speaker 11: can be planted in there. You want to know, real
- 47:54Speaker 11: big evidence of this and the carelessness that was taken
- 47:57Speaker 11: with the scene. I'll always go back to this is
- 48:00Speaker 11: when you see that blood deposition on the on the
- 48:04Speaker 11: surface of that portico area there, Nancy. The one thing
- 48:08Speaker 11: you always see and you can see the purpse standing
- 48:10Speaker 11: on it like there, Look at that, Look at that
- 48:12Speaker 11: standing on that mat, Nancy. We saw images of that
- 48:16Speaker 11: mat adjacent to the blood. They did not collect that
- 48:21Speaker 11: mat the first time out. You know, I sit there
- 48:24Speaker 11: and I think of it. Does your mind work? You know?
- 48:27Speaker 11: That's that's that's crimsone one oh one. Why was not
- 48:30Speaker 11: the mat collected at that point in time? Because you
- 48:34Speaker 11: have any number of things that can be transferred onto
- 48:36Speaker 11: that surface. I hope somebody went back and collected it.
- 48:39Speaker 11: But once you've taken the guard, the guardrails down. At
- 48:42Speaker 11: that point in time, it's open. Anybody can walk up
- 48:45Speaker 11: and take a photo. Anybody. It can be argued in
- 48:47Speaker 11: court that you can plant stuff at that point in time.
- 48:50Speaker 11: It is paramount that you protect that scene. And there's
- 48:53Speaker 11: just by virtue of the fact that you did not
- 48:56Speaker 11: value that mat anymore uh than they obviously didn't. Then
- 49:03Speaker 11: you're at risk here from losing valuable evidence. And anybody
- 49:06Speaker 11: can have access to it. Any lawyer worth their salt
- 49:09Speaker 11: can say, yeah, stuff was planned, they secured it, they
- 49:12Speaker 11: took the tape down. Lord only knows who got in there.
- 49:16Speaker 1: What is an electrostatic lift?
- 49:19Speaker 11: Okay, So what you're doing with this sheet of my
- 49:23Speaker 11: law is that you're actually placing a charge on that sheet. Okay.
- 49:28Speaker 11: And as you place that charge on there, what happens
- 49:31Speaker 11: is it attracts, It attracts underlying dust particles, lifts it
- 49:36Speaker 11: onto that sheet, and boom, it's permanently there.
- 49:39Speaker 12: Okay.
- 49:40Speaker 11: So you for and this is the beauty of it,
- 49:43Speaker 11: for a moment, for a moment, you have frozen in
- 49:46Speaker 11: time that image of that shoe impression that's there. Now
- 49:50Speaker 11: here's the trick. Can you take that image that you've
- 49:53Speaker 11: frozen on that sheet, okay, and take it back and
- 49:56Speaker 11: compare it? Well? Can you profile that footprint? Can someone
- 50:01Speaker 11: that is a footprint expert say, okay, we're looking for
- 50:03Speaker 11: somebody that pronates superinnates. Can we categorize the shoe print?
- 50:08Speaker 11: Can we say, okay, this manufacturer created this sole. Okay,
- 50:13Speaker 11: and you can say whatever manufacturer you know, insert company there,
- 50:16Speaker 11: all right, and if you can begin and again, as
- 50:19Speaker 11: you know, Nancy, with investigations, it's a big investigative funnel.
- 50:22Speaker 11: You want to try to narrow, narrow, narrow, and narrow
- 50:24Speaker 11: at all times. We want to try to exclude as
- 50:27Speaker 11: much stuff as we more stuff. We want to try
- 50:30Speaker 11: to exclude as much as we possibly can to narrow
- 50:32Speaker 11: our field. Can they take images, for instance, of those
- 50:36Speaker 11: shoes that we see right here captured at the scene
- 50:39Speaker 11: in the steel shots. Can they profile those shoes and say, okay,
- 50:43Speaker 11: this is the manufacture of those shoes. Automatically you've narrowed
- 50:46Speaker 11: your field. And can you say, if you do the
- 50:49Speaker 11: electrostatic lift, can you say, is it a possibility, is
- 50:52Speaker 11: it a possibility that that particular brand is shoe could
- 50:55Speaker 11: leave this kind of impression. Well, now you have really,
- 50:59Speaker 11: you know, kind of on tune your target area at
- 51:02Speaker 11: this point in time. The trick now is to find
- 51:05Speaker 11: out who belongs to those shoes, who was wearing those
- 51:08Speaker 11: shoes at that point.
- 51:11Speaker 1: I know it works in a lab, but given the
- 51:14Speaker 1: fact that the general public could go right up onto
- 51:17Speaker 1: her porch and how many people from the Sheriff's office
- 51:21Speaker 1: were in and out of the home on the interior.
- 51:24Speaker 1: I don't know that we can get this type of evidence.
- 51:28Speaker 1: There's still a chance. Straight out to Dave Mac joining
- 51:32Speaker 1: US Crime Stories investigative reporter, what can you tell me
- 51:36Speaker 1: about re emerging video of the interior of Nancy Guthrie's bedroom,
- 51:43Speaker 1: which I'd like to point out has a window right
- 51:47Speaker 1: there on ground level. You can look right into and
- 51:50Speaker 1: see her bedroom, the layout, everything, how close for her
- 51:54Speaker 1: bed is to the door, the window, the works. What
- 51:57Speaker 1: is this, Dave Mac.
- 51:59Speaker 2: What you're seeing is when the Today Show went they
- 52:03Speaker 2: were trying to show the closeness of Savannah Guthrie with
- 52:05Speaker 2: her mom, Nancy, and showing this side of Nancy Guthrie,
- 52:09Speaker 2: the mom showing how she taught Savannah to make a
- 52:13Speaker 2: bed and that's why you see her doing the corners there.
- 52:16Speaker 2: But what this was done in an effort to, you know,
- 52:18Speaker 2: make it more personable and connecting with their audience. But
- 52:22Speaker 2: what it's showing is that is her bedroom, Nancy Guthrie's bedroom,
- 52:28Speaker 2: and she's been in this home since the nineties. She's
- 52:31Speaker 2: been in the same bedroom, same layout ever since. So
- 52:34Speaker 2: as you pointed out, the window is right there. We
- 52:37Speaker 2: are looking at Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy Guthrie in the
- 52:42Speaker 2: room with the bed might been pulled out of the
- 52:48Speaker 2: night she was kidnapped, and.
- 52:50Speaker 1: We see what she keeps on her bedside table and
- 52:52Speaker 1: more hate. Dave Matc Megan Kelly found this and brought
- 52:56Speaker 1: it to everyone's attention. When was that taken? When was
- 53:02Speaker 1: that shoot? From our friends at Today with missus Guthrie, it.
- 53:06Speaker 2: Was in twenty thirteen.
- 53:10Speaker 1: Because I started to say, she's getting around really well
- 53:15Speaker 1: and does not seem to have any mobility issue. But
- 53:18Speaker 1: you know, many years have passed since then. Let's take
- 53:20Speaker 1: a look at that video again, because whoever searched Savannah
- 53:25Speaker 1: Guthrie's salary in Nancy Guthrie's home address may very well
- 53:30Speaker 1: have pulled up video just like this. What clues can
- 53:35Speaker 1: we glean from this video? A lot? A lot from
- 53:41Speaker 1: our friends at Today to Joseph's got Morgan professor forensics,
- 53:45Speaker 1: what do you learn from this.
- 53:48Speaker 11: Just looking well, you look at the nature of the
- 53:50Speaker 11: flooring and it's really hard to kind of kind of
- 53:53Speaker 11: pick up and try to understand it has it changed
- 53:57Speaker 11: over that period of time. Is it a smooth kind
- 53:59Speaker 11: of sem me porous floor that we could go in
- 54:02Speaker 11: and collect anything relative to shoe prints? You know, one
- 54:06Speaker 11: of the things that you begin to think about is
- 54:08Speaker 11: that folks were saying that she was taken from her bedroom.
- 54:12Speaker 11: First off, I don't understand how they source that information particularly, but.
- 54:16Speaker 1: It certainly so because Savannah said it in one of
- 54:18Speaker 1: her plates, she said, my mom was taken out of
- 54:22Speaker 1: her bed.
- 54:24Speaker 11: Well, you have to take that. You have to take
- 54:27Speaker 11: that and utilize that as and I'm sure that they
- 54:29Speaker 11: already have because if she's saying that, that that's rooted
- 54:33Speaker 11: somewhere factually, so you're going to look at any kind
- 54:36Speaker 11: of physical evidence that might be associated with an outside
- 54:39Speaker 11: party that's there. And it could be anything from dusty
- 54:43Speaker 11: prints that are left behind by shoes, it could be
- 54:45Speaker 11: any kind of trace evidence, any kind of fiber evidence
- 54:48Speaker 11: where they're putting hands on somebody to move them around.
- 54:51Speaker 1: We also see that bedspread if she still has the
- 54:54Speaker 1: same one, and obviously an MBAT would have to be
- 54:57Speaker 1: used on that. It is a porous material to get
- 55:02Speaker 1: potential DNA straight out to Bria. It's Gibbons joining us.
- 55:05Speaker 1: He is Director Operations USP, a nationwide security leading a
- 55:10Speaker 1: team of investigators that specialize in missing people and go
- 55:15Speaker 1: around the world finding them rescuing them. Particularly, he has
- 55:20Speaker 1: an expertise and extractions from Mexico. He is a former
- 55:24Speaker 1: Marine and Iraqi war vet. Brif it's Gibbons, I can
- 55:28Speaker 1: learn a lot from that video, and so could anybody,
- 55:31Speaker 1: including the PURP.
- 55:34Speaker 9: Yeah, certainly, and we see that the PURP would have
- 55:38Speaker 9: access to this readily online. You know, is he looking
- 55:42Speaker 9: to see? Are their camera locations inside of the house,
- 55:46Speaker 9: are their avenues of entry or egress in that room?
- 55:50Speaker 9: And all of this should be caveat with the fact
- 55:53Speaker 9: that there was an incredible amount of tension drawn to
- 55:57Speaker 9: Missus Guthrie with Savannah's visit and the visit to that
- 56:01Speaker 9: restaurant that the FBI is now conducting interviews again with
- 56:05Speaker 9: restaurant staff.
- 56:10Speaker 1: At some point he reaches up to dismantle or up
- 56:15Speaker 1: the door camp.
- 56:16Speaker 3: I see black and gray work. I can see some
- 56:19Speaker 3: subtle shading on the edges.
- 56:22Speaker 1: And when he does that much is revealed. Joining us
- 56:27Speaker 1: now a special guest, Jeff Garnett, co founder Inkless Tattoo
- 56:33Speaker 1: removal Centers English Tattoo Removal dot Com. Jeff, I know
- 56:39Speaker 1: that you, like me, have studied carefully the porch guy's
- 56:44Speaker 1: wrist tattoo. Got a question for you, Jeff, Have you
- 56:50Speaker 1: ever been asked by a perpetrator to remove a tattoo?
- 56:57Speaker 4: Yes, actually we have.
- 56:59Speaker 12: We didn't know at the time that it was a perpetrator,
- 57:02Speaker 12: but in twenty twenty one, there was a shooting death
- 57:07Speaker 12: outside of a famous hotel in Manhatan and it was all.
- 57:11Speaker 4: Caught on surveillance camera.
- 57:14Speaker 12: The perpetrator his picture was shown on the news and
- 57:19Speaker 12: everyone kept commenting on the fact that he had these
- 57:22Speaker 12: full tattoo sleeves. Later the following week, a detective came
- 57:27Speaker 12: in and questioned us because they had arrested him and
- 57:31Speaker 12: they found our aftercare instructions in his car. So what
- 57:35Speaker 12: had happened is the shooting had happened, I think on
- 57:38Speaker 12: a Thursday. It was all over the news the following morning,
- 57:41Speaker 12: and that Friday he came into one of our locations
- 57:46Speaker 12: trying to get his sleeves removed. So we didn't know
- 57:51Speaker 12: at the time, but they were able to show that
- 57:54Speaker 12: that was his attempt to cover up the identifying marks.
- 57:58Speaker 1: So the video caught him with two full sleeves. Yes, wow,
- 58:06Speaker 1: okay in his car they found your after care instructions. Okay.
- 58:10Speaker 1: How long would it take to remove a full sleeve?
- 58:14Speaker 1: Jeff Garnett.
- 58:16Speaker 4: It takes a long time.
- 58:18Speaker 12: It's not an instant thing where you come in and
- 58:20Speaker 12: laser it and it's gone instantly.
- 58:22Speaker 4: You know.
- 58:22Speaker 12: We would all love for the technology to get there,
- 58:25Speaker 12: but we're not quite there at this point.
- 58:27Speaker 4: Probably at least a year.
- 58:30Speaker 12: There are a lot of variables, different ink colors, different
- 58:33Speaker 12: ink saturation levels, locations on the body, how healthy someone's
- 58:38Speaker 12: immune system is.
- 58:39Speaker 4: These are all factors that can impact it.
- 58:41Speaker 12: But basically the laser is breaking the ink into microscopic
- 58:45Speaker 12: particles that are much easier for your immune system to remove.
- 58:49Speaker 12: So we're pretty much just speeding up the natural fading process.
- 58:54Speaker 12: When I started doing this fifteen years ago, it would
- 58:57Speaker 12: have easily taken three years. The newer Pico technology it's
- 59:02Speaker 12: cut that in half, but it's still a year to
- 59:05Speaker 12: a year.
- 59:05Speaker 4: And a half.
- 59:06Speaker 1: Bolo be on the lookout for a mail trying to
- 59:12Speaker 1: have two full sleeves or at least one full sleeve
- 59:17Speaker 1: out of the Catalina Hills area removed back to Jeff
- 59:21Speaker 1: Garnett joining US co founder Inklass Tattoo removal Centers. So
- 59:25Speaker 1: it takes a long time to finally get a full
- 59:29Speaker 1: sleeve removed. Could you rush it? If someone said I've
- 59:34Speaker 1: got to have this thing off in forty eight hours,
- 59:37Speaker 1: could you do it? Is it physically possible?
- 59:40Speaker 4: Not with laser technology.
- 59:42Speaker 12: The only way to do it instantly would be a
- 59:45Speaker 12: surgical procedure called decision where they would have.
- 59:49Speaker 4: To cut it out.
- 59:50Speaker 12: And if that was a small tattoo, they'd be able
- 59:52Speaker 12: to cut it out and it would be replaced with
- 59:55Speaker 12: a scar, and that would be done by a pleasant surgeon.
- 59:57Speaker 12: If you're talking about a full sleeve, it would get
- 1:00:00Speaker 12: into skin grafts. It just wouldn't be possible. Laser technology
- 1:00:05Speaker 12: can remove that, but it's going to take a long time.
- 1:00:07Speaker 12: Now we're assuming the has a sleeve, because you're seeing
- 1:00:12Speaker 12: that risk portion and it looks as if it's part
- 1:00:15Speaker 12: of a much larger tattoo. Could that small portion be
- 1:00:18Speaker 12: cut out surgically, Yes, it could, but there would definitely
- 1:00:24Speaker 12: be a large scar in the place.
- 1:00:27Speaker 1: Once you have the tattoo completely removed, are there any
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: traces left behind. You have an example on your neck?
- 1:00:35Speaker 12: Correct, Yes, I used to have a tattoo right here,
- 1:00:40Speaker 12: and there's nothing.
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: There's no scar tissue, there's no shadow or skin discoloration.
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: You know, it depends.
- 1:00:48Speaker 12: There's certain ink colors are easier to remove than others.
- 1:00:53Speaker 12: But it looks to me like this is a black
- 1:00:55Speaker 12: tattoo on black ink tattoo, and black ink responds really
- 1:00:59Speaker 12: well so the laser. Black absorbs the full spectrum of
- 1:01:03Speaker 12: light from the laser, so usually black and can be
- 1:01:06Speaker 12: removed complete.
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: It's a black and gray, which of course is just
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: variations on black, So you're absolutely correct. I'm just curious
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: what was the tattoo you had removed?
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: It was a bat.
- 1:01:17Speaker 4: It was a silly bat hanging upside down.
- 1:01:19Speaker 1: Behind me, a bat, as in the bat that flies
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: out of a cave and jumps in your hair and
- 1:01:24Speaker 1: tries to bite you. Correct, Okay, why did you have
- 1:01:28Speaker 1: a bat on your neck?
- 1:01:31Speaker 12: I tend to a lot of my tattoos are kind
- 1:01:34Speaker 12: of time stamps of different parts of my life. And
- 1:01:36Speaker 12: I had moved temporarily to Austin, Texas, and there's a
- 1:01:40Speaker 12: bridge in Austin that has about a million bats that
- 1:01:44Speaker 12: live underneath it and that dust they all come flying out.
- 1:01:47Speaker 12: So that was kind of my Austin, Texas tattoo.
- 1:01:51Speaker 1: Okay, I'm not a shrink. I can't analyze that. I'll
- 1:01:55Speaker 1: just take it for what it is, for the promitive value.
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: But why do other people have tattoos removed?
- 1:02:02Speaker 12: Typically, there's a wide range of purposes. Sometimes people get
- 1:02:08Speaker 12: a tattoo and don't like the way it came out,
- 1:02:10Speaker 12: so they almost immediately want to get rid of it.
- 1:02:14Speaker 12: There's the stereotypical boyfriend and girlfriend get each other's names
- 1:02:19Speaker 12: and then break up.
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: The most common one is people just outgrow it.
- 1:02:24Speaker 12: You know, you get something in your teens, your twenties,
- 1:02:26Speaker 12: and then in your thirties and forties, your taste change and.
- 1:02:29Speaker 4: You're a different person.
- 1:02:30Speaker 12: But there also are some really more psychological reasons as well.
- 1:02:36Speaker 12: You have really said things like victims of human trafficking
- 1:02:40Speaker 12: that have property of tattoos, and that's some of the
- 1:02:43Speaker 12: things that we do pro bono for people. You have
- 1:02:47Speaker 12: radiation tattoos for people cancer survivors from when they had
- 1:02:51Speaker 12: their procedures.
- 1:02:52Speaker 4: So there really is a wide range.
- 1:02:54Speaker 12: But the majority of the clients we see got something
- 1:02:57Speaker 12: when they were younger, they've outgrown it and their tasted.
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: Person crime stories with Nancy Grace. Jeff Garnett is joining us.
- 1:03:14Speaker 1: He is the co founder of Inkless Tattoo Removal Centers
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: with multiple branches. Be on the lookout please Jeff Garnett
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: full sleeve removal. That said, this leads me to another process,
- 1:03:31Speaker 1: that process being a I used to create a ransom note.
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: But first before I get into that, with Christian Hammond
- 1:03:40Speaker 1: from Northwestern University, Dave mac, what can you tell me
- 1:03:44Speaker 1: about the last forty eight hours where the FBI descends
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: upon a Mexican restaurant to reinterrogate employees, a full two
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: days of reinterrogation.
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie and Savannah Guthrie out to dinner back in
- 1:04:01Speaker 2: November when the Today Show came to town and was
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: filming Savannah back in Tucson. They went to Elcharro, which
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: is their favorite Mexican restaurant. Well, the FBI has been
- 1:04:11Speaker 2: back in interviewing employees of the restaurant, specifically asking them
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: if they noticed anyone standing around, maybe trying to ingratiate
- 1:04:23Speaker 2: themselves with the cast and crew, anybody that acted weird.
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: They were asking those types of questions of all of
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: the employees in the Elcharro, trying to determine if anyone
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: was there that shouldn't have been or was acting inappropriately
- 1:04:38Speaker 2: while they were there.
- 1:04:39Speaker 1: From our friends at today, you know, I'm very curious
- 1:04:43Speaker 1: about their line of questioning to these restaurant employees, if
- 1:04:48Speaker 1: they saw anyone there that day that was unusual, if
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: anyone hung around, you know, to Bryphus Gibbons joining US
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: Director of Operations USPA Nationwides Security, that must have been
- 1:05:02Speaker 1: a memorable day for a lot of people. To have
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: a big star like Savannah Guthrie roll in, very memorable.
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: So it's not just the employees. They're going to be
- 1:05:14Speaker 1: questioned about other people that were there that day to
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: watch the filming. I guarantee if it's Gibbons, they're going
- 1:05:21Speaker 1: to be asking does anybody have a son a black
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: sheep son? Does anybody have a bad seed brother in
- 1:05:28Speaker 1: law or son in law or cousin where the mom
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: comes home and says, hey, guess what happened today Savannah
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: Guthrie was there with her mother? Or guess what's going
- 1:05:38Speaker 1: to happen tomorrow? And what I want to do with
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: that brafitz Gibbons is overlay it onto that Google trend
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: search where someone thought to question Savannah Guthrie's salary and
- 1:05:53Speaker 1: in the same search the home address for Nancy Guthrie
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: and then connect that person to some one we may
- 1:06:00Speaker 1: find out about through the restaurant employees.
- 1:06:05Speaker 9: Certainly a focus of those questions is going to be
- 1:06:08Speaker 9: who did you tell about this? Did you text anybody?
- 1:06:11Speaker 9: Did you call anybody? Am I able to look at
- 1:06:14Speaker 9: that text to see who? How did they respond?
- 1:06:17Speaker 5: Right?
- 1:06:18Speaker 9: It may not be that they're focused solely on that
- 1:06:22Speaker 9: restaurant employee, but who's on their periphery, who's in their
- 1:06:26Speaker 9: circle that they told about this event and they told
- 1:06:29Speaker 9: about miss Guthrie living in Tucson being connected to Savannah.
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: So it's not just limited to the employees. It's who
- 1:06:37Speaker 1: they know, who they're related to, who may have been
- 1:06:40Speaker 1: in the restaurant at that time. The line of questioning.
- 1:06:45Speaker 1: I'm very curious about what that is, what it means,
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: what we can glean from the FBI spinning not one
- 1:06:53Speaker 1: but two full days at the restaurant. So we believe, well,
- 1:06:58Speaker 1: there are two restaurants in play that we know of
- 1:07:01Speaker 1: right now. Of course, this is us on the outside
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: looking in, Brian. There is the restaurant connected to that
- 1:07:09Speaker 1: glove that was found about two miles from Nancy Guthrie's home.
- 1:07:13Speaker 1: The glob was connected back to in a restaurant employee,
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: and that employee was cleared. There's that restaurant, and there
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: is the restaurant at which Nancy Guthrie at Savannah Guthrie,
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: let's see that video had the Arizona homecoming where Savannah
- 1:07:31Speaker 1: went back home and she was with her family. They
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: went to their favorite restaurant. They spent time in missus
- 1:07:38Speaker 1: Guthrie's home. Which restaurant are we talking about, Brian.
- 1:07:44Speaker 9: We're talking about this restaurant that you see here. And
- 1:07:47Speaker 9: you have to remember this isn't Hollywood, right, this is Tucson, Arizona.
- 1:07:51Speaker 9: So you have a film crew, Savannah Guthrie, a nationally
- 1:07:55Speaker 9: recognized TV show host, rolls into this restaurant. Be quite
- 1:08:01Speaker 9: an event for that restaurant and.
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: The people there.
- 1:08:04Speaker 9: And I think it's important to mention it's unlikely that
- 1:08:08Speaker 9: it was happenstance that an abductor happened to be in
- 1:08:12Speaker 9: the restaurant that day, you know, and saw missus Guthrie.
- 1:08:15Speaker 9: The most likely scenario is that somebody who was there,
- 1:08:19Speaker 9: be it staff or a guest, actually communicated about Hey,
- 1:08:24Speaker 9: I saw Savannah Guthrie with her mother at this restaurant.
- 1:08:28Speaker 9: Another thing that law enforcement is undoubtedly doing is looking
- 1:08:32Speaker 9: at the checks from that day. Who else was in
- 1:08:34Speaker 9: the restaurant, who paid with a credit card? What information
- 1:08:38Speaker 9: does the restaurant have about the other guests. And then
- 1:08:41Speaker 9: they're going to go out that one additional layer and
- 1:08:44Speaker 9: start asking everybody who was there who they communicated with
- 1:08:48Speaker 9: about this.
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: Another possibility, Bryan Fitzgibbons, is surveillance video, if it can
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: be pulled down from the cloud, what was happening in
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: the part if there Let's just go with me on this.
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: We know we have that video from a neighbor of
- 1:09:06Speaker 1: cars zipping by around the time that Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker
- 1:09:11Speaker 1: stopped connecting to the bluetooth in her home, you know,
- 1:09:15Speaker 1: two three o'clock in the morning. There are people heading
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: back and forth toward her home, toward that street. This
- 1:09:22Speaker 1: is from our friends at Fox News.
- 1:09:23Speaker 13: By the way, we too have heard the reports about
- 1:09:26Speaker 13: a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we
- 1:09:31Speaker 13: are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk.
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: Joining me now, Christian Hammond, artificial intelligence expert. He is
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: a professor of computer science at Northwestern University. Again not shabby, Christian,
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: director of the Center for Advancing Safety of Machine Intelligence.
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: I should thank you for being with us. What I'm
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: getting at is I'm narrowing down who I'm looking for.
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: I'm looking for a guy, what do we say, jackie
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: between five nine and six feet five, at least one sleeve,
- 1:10:20Speaker 1: one full sleeve, likely two full sleeves. I'm looking for
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: someone that has that Ozark backpack. I'm looking for that receipt.
- 1:10:32Speaker 1: I'm looking for someone from the Tucson area because they
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: have a soft spot for two Tucson TV networks that
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: maybe they grew up watching. I'm looking for someone that
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: has a knowledge of Nancy Guthrie and her home, maybe
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: maybe connected in some tenuous way, not necessarily an employee
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: of that Mexican restaurant. I believe we're looking for someone
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: that may have a criminal record. And now I'm looking
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: for someone that may have conducted that Google search we
- 1:11:11Speaker 1: talked about early on that looked for Nancy Guthrie's home
- 1:11:14Speaker 1: address and Savannah Guthrie's salary. Okay, that's a lot of data.
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: Christian Hammond, think about the ransom note. Could the purp
- 1:11:30Speaker 1: if the ransom note is in fact connected, have used
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: AI artificial intelligence to disguise their identity, Well, certainly.
- 1:11:41Speaker 14: I mean the power of the power of the.
- 1:11:44Speaker 5: Language models is that you can.
- 1:11:46Speaker 14: Have them say something that you want to say, but
- 1:11:49Speaker 14: in a tone and in a cadence of words that
- 1:11:53Speaker 14: is not yours. And so you can certainly disguise yourself
- 1:11:56Speaker 14: that way, and you'll leave a little bit of a
- 1:11:59Speaker 14: trace doing so. But that trace is so minute and
- 1:12:02Speaker 14: is so washed out in terms of all the other
- 1:12:05Speaker 14: activity that's going on that it's it wouldn't be it
- 1:12:08Speaker 14: wouldn't be.
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: Uh, you wouldn't be able to find it.
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: And so yes, okay, Christian, we established earlier that year,
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: you know, light years ahead of all of us and
- 1:12:21Speaker 1: your mortals when it comes to this. I heard you.
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: I know what all those words mean, but in the
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: context of your sins, I don't know what you're saying.
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: You're telling me that Google can look through trillions of
- 1:12:37Speaker 1: data points and they can find Nancy Guthries doorcam, and
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: they can resurrect like Lazarus video footage we thought didn't
- 1:12:49Speaker 1: even exist. Well, we listened to nanos. That was our
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: first mistake. But that said, and we can't put all
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: of these facts together and come up with that artifice.
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: So intelligence request.
- 1:13:03Speaker 14: Yeah, so finding finding the images is a targeted task.
- 1:13:10Speaker 14: That is, they know where they should be looking, they
- 1:13:12Speaker 14: know the features that are really important there. Uh, and
- 1:13:17Speaker 14: that really gives them a lot of constraints in terms
- 1:13:20Speaker 14: of what they're looking for.
- 1:13:22Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:13:22Speaker 14: But when you're looking for an arbitrary query against a
- 1:13:27Speaker 14: language model where there are dozens of language models, some
- 1:13:30Speaker 14: of them are local, some of them anyone can use
- 1:13:33Speaker 14: of finding a tiny little.
- 1:13:35Speaker 5: Piece of a request.
- 1:13:39Speaker 14: Is an untenable I mean, there's too much to search.
- 1:13:43Speaker 14: And in the midst of all this, there might be
- 1:13:44Speaker 14: other people who are going, I wonder what it's like.
- 1:13:47Speaker 5: I wonder if you could generate.
- 1:13:48Speaker 14: A a a ransom note. And so they're generating them
- 1:13:53Speaker 14: and we will find them as well. And so it's
- 1:13:57Speaker 14: we're really in a place where there's not an focus
- 1:14:01Speaker 14: uh to in terms of what we're looking for, uh,
- 1:14:04Speaker 14: to find the right thing.
- 1:14:06Speaker 5: And I think it's uh. Actually, in the movie.
- 1:14:10Speaker 14: In the movie about about touring and all of the
- 1:14:13Speaker 14: work he done did in terms of decrypting, there was
- 1:14:16Speaker 14: a moment where once he identified a target that they
- 1:14:19Speaker 14: knew they could they were looking for a particular thing
- 1:14:22Speaker 14: in a particular in a particular message that gave them
- 1:14:25Speaker 14: the ability to figure out what was going on. But
- 1:14:27Speaker 14: if you don't have a target, uh, it's incredibly difficult
- 1:14:31Speaker 14: to find the right thing at the right time that
- 1:14:34Speaker 14: gives you the right.
- 1:14:35Speaker 5: Kind of information.
- 1:14:37Speaker 1: Okay, Christian Hammond, you are the artificial intelligence expert. In
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: a perfect world, what would I need to track down
- 1:14:47Speaker 1: that AI request to write the ransom note?
- 1:14:51Speaker 14: Well, a perfect world would be that we would be
- 1:14:55Speaker 14: able to take a look at all those all the
- 1:14:57Speaker 14: logs of all the interactions trip.
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: Uh.
- 1:15:02Speaker 14: But that's a perfect world in terms of one thing,
- 1:15:05Speaker 14: and that's finding stuff. But it's not a perfect world
- 1:15:08Speaker 14: in terms of privacy, in terms of data leakage, in
- 1:15:12Speaker 14: terms of I'm feeling like I've been using a system
- 1:15:16Speaker 14: and I'm not telling it my entire life, and that
- 1:15:18Speaker 14: life will be shared with everyone. So there are I've
- 1:15:21Speaker 14: always been privacy issues. So even with the finding the
- 1:15:25Speaker 14: you know, finding the images associated with this particular.
- 1:15:28Speaker 5: Camera, there are privacy issues.
- 1:15:30Speaker 14: That is that she didn't have a subscription and so
- 1:15:32Speaker 14: they should not have been holding onto anything, but they
- 1:15:34Speaker 14: were getting to the all the camera, all the footage
- 1:15:38Speaker 14: associated with the cameras in her neighborhood.
- 1:15:41Speaker 5: That's a privacy issue.
- 1:15:42Speaker 14: That is that unless you've signed off for your camera
- 1:15:45Speaker 14: to be used, you can't use it.
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: And so there's always this true Okay, I understand, So
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: there really is no perfect world in finding that AI request. Okay,
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: let me ask you this. Many people have suggested there's
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: a possibility of doing a retinal scam on the porch. Gud,
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: there's some great shots of his eyes. What do you
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: make of that? Let's see the shots.
- 1:16:08Speaker 14: Yeah, the the problem is is that they're they're good,
- 1:16:13Speaker 14: but they're not magnificent.
- 1:16:16Speaker 5: So retinal scans usually.
- 1:16:17Speaker 14: Are done using infrared light to begin with, and they're
- 1:16:21Speaker 14: they're marvelous. I mean, they're incredibly powerful in terms of
- 1:16:24Speaker 14: being able to identify individuals.
- 1:16:26Speaker 5: But you need that as the target.
- 1:16:28Speaker 14: That is, if I'm if I've got a new if
- 1:16:31Speaker 14: I've got a new image and I could get a
- 1:16:33Speaker 14: retinal scan out of it, I've got to find I
- 1:16:36Speaker 14: have to have a thing to match it against, and
- 1:16:39Speaker 14: we we don't really have that.
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: The other thing is that even if there was enough data,
- 1:16:44Speaker 1: Christian to get the retinals scan, and you're saying it's
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: just beyond enhancing it from those images, we have to
- 1:16:53Speaker 1: have something to compare it too, Like fingerprints. You may
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: have a great fingerprint, but you got to ask somebody
- 1:16:58Speaker 1: to compare it too.
- 1:17:00Speaker 14: So he could leave fingerprints and DNA and footprints and
- 1:17:04Speaker 14: all sorts of things. But if they're if there's not
- 1:17:07Speaker 14: a target for us to match them against, it doesn't
- 1:17:10Speaker 14: help us unless we have him in hand.
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: Okay, Christian Hammond, I want you to go back to
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: your think take at Northwestern University and come up with
- 1:17:18Speaker 1: some answers for me. Christian Hammond, Jeff Garnett, Ryan Fitzgibbons,
