Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
- 0:08Speaker 2: It's been two weeks since our mom was taken, and
- 0:15Speaker 2: I just wanted to come on and say that we
- 0:20Speaker 2: still have hope and we still believe, and I wanted
- 0:30Speaker 2: to say to whoever has her or knows where she is,
- 0:40Speaker 2: that it's never too late, and you're not lost or alone,
- 0:55Speaker 2: and it is never too late to do the right thing.
- 1:00Speaker 2: And we are here. We believe, and we believe in
- 1:08Speaker 2: the essential goodness of every human being. And it's stubber
- 1:15Speaker 2: two y.
- 1:24Speaker 3: A man claiming to know who kidnapped Nancy Guthrie and
- 1:27Speaker 3: her current location reaches out to TMZ for the fourth time,
- 1:31Speaker 3: still demanding fifty thousand in Bitcoin up front then he
- 1:35Speaker 3: will provide the information. The email is using the same
- 1:38Speaker 3: Bitcoin account as previous emails and says in part, I
- 1:42Speaker 3: know what I saw five days ago south of the border,
- 1:45Speaker 3: and I was told to shut up, so I know
- 1:47Speaker 3: who he is and that was definitely Nancy with them.
- 1:51Speaker 3: This is now the second time the rat has suggested
- 1:54Speaker 3: there is more than one person involved in the kidnapping.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Also in his previous missive he said quote be prepared
- 2:01Speaker 3: to go international. The man says he has a burglary
- 2:05Speaker 3: on his record from ten years ago, so he's scared
- 2:07Speaker 3: to come forward, presumably fearing he'd be implicated. TMZ replies
- 2:11Speaker 3: directly to the individual with an offer, if you are
- 2:15Speaker 3: for real, send us the information regarding the whereabouts of
- 2:18Speaker 3: Nancy and her kidnappers. We will immediately forward the information
- 2:22Speaker 3: to the FBI. If it leads to finding Nancy and
- 2:25Speaker 3: or the kidnappers, you then have a public record that
- 2:29Speaker 3: you are the one responsible, thus ensuring you will get
- 2:32Speaker 3: the reward. The FBI is aware we are making this overture.
- 2:37Speaker 3: This is the second note received by TMZ after the
- 2:40Speaker 3: rat said there would be no more communication.
- 2:43Speaker 4: Nancy Guthrie missing day six Daine and that plea from
- 2:49Speaker 4: our friend Savannah Guthrie the most heartbreaking plea as of tonight,
- 2:57Speaker 4: good evening. I mean, see Grace, this is crimes to
- 3:00Speaker 4: I want to thank you for being with us. Savannah Guthrie,
- 3:04Speaker 4: beaten down, exhausted, obviously not eating, appeals to the essential goodness.
- 3:14Speaker 4: She says that is in every human being, begging them
- 3:19Speaker 4: it's not too late to do the right thing, stating
- 3:25Speaker 4: obviously stating she believes her mother, Nancy is alive. Also
- 3:31Speaker 4: at this hour, breaking developments over the last weekend, over
- 3:37Speaker 4: the last day, straight out to Dave Matt Crime Story's
- 3:39Speaker 4: investigative reporter, d NA, tell me everything.
- 3:45Speaker 5: All right, starting at the beginning, Nancy. DNA found at
- 3:50Speaker 5: Nancy Guthrie's home has been determined to belong to someone
- 3:56Speaker 5: not in close contact with Nancy Guthrie. This is explosive
- 4:02Speaker 5: information as it's the first indicator we have that DNA
- 4:07Speaker 5: belonging to someone not related, not in close contact with Nancy,
- 4:11Speaker 5: found at the home Nancy. We also have the glove,
- 4:16Speaker 5: the glove found about a mile and a half from
- 4:19Speaker 5: Nancy's home, that too is being tested, and that too
- 4:24Speaker 5: has male DNA. The glove with the DNA looks like
- 4:31Speaker 5: what the glove we saw in the surveillance video from
- 4:35Speaker 5: the nest camera on Nancy Guthrie's front door. That glove
- 4:40Speaker 5: that we saw in that video is what appears to
- 4:43Speaker 5: be the glove found in the desert a mile and
- 4:45Speaker 5: a half from her home with DNA. So those are
- 4:49Speaker 5: your two big DNA explosions right now in the investigation.
- 4:53Speaker 4: That's right. The glove found near Nancy Guthrie's home about
- 4:56Speaker 4: one point five miles from her home does contain DNA evidence.
- 5:03Speaker 4: All those so called experts claiming it would not contain
- 5:07Speaker 4: DNA are wrong. Also, the glove found with DNA evidence
- 5:13Speaker 4: on it appears to be what the suspect in the
- 5:17Speaker 4: video was wearing. According to the FBI, the black glove
- 5:23Speaker 4: found near Nancy Guthrie's home contains DNA evidence and it
- 5:29Speaker 4: is being tested. We could be hours away from that
- 5:33Speaker 4: DNA match. And again, the FBI says, the glove appears
- 5:37Speaker 4: to match the gloves worn by the suspect on Nancy
- 5:43Speaker 4: Guthrie's porch. This guy we're showing you right now, the
- 5:48Speaker 4: one with the DNA profile recovered is different from other gloves.
- 5:54Speaker 4: What does that mean that it is different from other gloves?
- 5:59Speaker 2: Day, Mac?
- 6:00Speaker 4: What other gloves?
- 6:03Speaker 5: Nancy? There have been reportedly sixteen other gloves, maybe even more,
- 6:11Speaker 5: that have been found in this investigation. But Nancy, the
- 6:16Speaker 5: sixteen gloves that have been found range in different colors,
- 6:22Speaker 5: from red to brown to black. They range in the
- 6:27Speaker 5: different types of gloves that are available.
- 6:30Speaker 4: Straight out to veteran trial lawyer Josh Colsrue joining US
- 6:35Speaker 4: now criminal defense attorney, former federal prosecutor, founder Cultured Law
- 6:40Speaker 4: Offices he's joining us from that jurisdiction Arizona. Josh. In
- 6:46Speaker 4: my mind, I had leaped forward to a potential trial.
- 6:50Speaker 4: What a field day the defense will have with these
- 6:55Speaker 4: sixteen gloves that are unrelated to the on the front porch,
- 7:00Speaker 4: Because just as the defense was going to do in
- 7:04Speaker 4: the Brian Coburger case, with the glove laying out in
- 7:07Speaker 4: the parking lot, it's snowing, somebody dropped their glove out there.
- 7:12Speaker 4: That was going to be the sod some other dude
- 7:15Speaker 4: that did it right, So I'm happy. I'm thrilled we
- 7:19Speaker 4: found a glove that seems to match the one, and
- 7:22Speaker 4: you and I talked about it, how sweaty his hands
- 7:25Speaker 4: must have gotten during all that, and the scenario of
- 7:28Speaker 4: him stripping it off and throwing it out the window
- 7:31Speaker 4: as he leaves the scene. But the other gloves are
- 7:35Speaker 4: a problem, Coles Rude.
- 7:37Speaker 6: They are a huge problem for the prosecution. You know,
- 7:42Speaker 6: one of the most important things for a prosecutor is
- 7:46Speaker 6: the ability to prove chain of custody, to be able
- 7:51Speaker 6: to show that this is the item that we're saying
- 7:54Speaker 6: that it is. And when you have I can't believe
- 7:57Speaker 6: this sixteen other gloves that were dropped there by volunteers
- 8:05Speaker 6: or people working for law enforcement. It's beyond imagination that
- 8:11Speaker 6: they could do this and contaminate the crime scene.
- 8:15Speaker 4: Straight out to Tammy Ballard joining us. Tammy is a
- 8:18Speaker 4: DNA crime scene consultant, crime scene investigation and reconstruction expert
- 8:25Speaker 4: important tonight, DNA criminalist for the San Diego Police Crime Lab.
- 8:32Speaker 4: Tammy Ballard, this is a bombshell. If these aren't the
- 8:37Speaker 4: gloves worn in the video, Let's see the video again,
- 8:41Speaker 4: and according to police sources, the part was wearing gloves
- 8:46Speaker 4: under the gloves. We don't know that that's true. Whatever
- 8:52Speaker 4: the case, DNA has been found on these gloves, Tammy Ballard,
- 8:58Speaker 4: and it is mail DNA. What comes next.
- 9:04Speaker 7: Next next is the code is search. So that's going
- 9:07Speaker 7: to be the important search on it sounds like that's
- 9:11Speaker 7: going to happen in real time, something like today, and
- 9:15Speaker 7: then they'll know if they have some sort of direction
- 9:19Speaker 7: to go with that search if there's a hit. If not,
- 9:24Speaker 7: the next step would intuitively be, can we start with
- 9:27Speaker 7: the genealogy process and go down that path with a
- 9:32Speaker 7: different DNA profile from the same glove. So hopefully it
- 9:36Speaker 7: was a single source enough profile that and there's DNA remaining,
- 9:42Speaker 7: so that they might have to be able to share
- 9:45Speaker 7: that DNA with that second process for genealogy, but it
- 9:48Speaker 7: can be a multi pronged approach to identify the individual
- 9:52Speaker 7: as fast as possible.
- 9:54Speaker 4: Jimmy Baller, what is an st R analysis?
- 9:59Speaker 7: That is what I would consider your standard DNA testing
- 10:03Speaker 7: most forensic laboratories across the country. That is what we
- 10:08Speaker 7: have all used. Stands for short tandem repeat testing, very distinct,
- 10:16Speaker 7: regulated validated locations of DNA that are being tested for
- 10:22Speaker 7: potential comparison to suspects or uploads into databases.
- 10:27Speaker 4: Would this be a short tandem DNA test, a short tandem.
- 10:33Speaker 7: Repeat Yes, it is. This is a traditional STR profile.
- 10:38Speaker 7: That is what all of the forensic laboratories are using
- 10:44Speaker 7: to compare to potential suspects.
- 10:47Speaker 4: Okay, then we will take the STR results and put
- 10:50Speaker 4: it into CODIS. Straight out to Brian Fitzgibbons, joining us
- 10:55Speaker 4: Director Operations USPA Nationwide Security. His special finding missing people.
- 11:02Speaker 4: He leads a team of investigators around the world locating
- 11:05Speaker 4: missing people. Who is in CODIS.
- 11:10Speaker 8: Yeah, so you're going to have everybody in CODIS that
- 11:13Speaker 8: law enforcement has had a sample from or you know,
- 11:17Speaker 8: the FBI has loaded into that system. So there's going
- 11:21Speaker 8: to be a limited I mean, it's a huge, vast
- 11:23Speaker 8: number of samples, but it is limited in the sense.
- 11:26Speaker 8: And Tammy touched on this that the next step is
- 11:29Speaker 8: that forensic genetic genealogy analysis where you're taking in other
- 11:36Speaker 8: sources like ancestry, dot Com, twenty three and meters, all
- 11:39Speaker 8: those all those private genetic testing organizations where investigators will
- 11:45Speaker 8: be able to hopefully try to map.
- 11:48Speaker 9: Who this is.
- 11:50Speaker 4: Yes, CODA is the combined DNA Index System and an acronism.
- 11:56Speaker 4: CODIS is FBI managed. It's software and it operates on local, state,
- 12:02Speaker 4: and national DNA databases. It IDs suspects and they do
- 12:09Speaker 4: that by comparing convicted offenders, not necessarily just felons, misdemeanors,
- 12:15Speaker 4: sometimes two all of them across the country, missing people,
- 12:20Speaker 4: and DNA found on crime scenes. Coburger Brian Coburger's DNA
- 12:27Speaker 4: is now in CODIS. Now here's the problem with COTIS,
- 12:31Speaker 4: and CODIS is fantastic. It matches DNA profiles even from
- 12:36Speaker 4: unsolved cases to individuals and other crime scenes. It also
- 12:41Speaker 4: uses the twenty core short tandem repeat genetic markers here's
- 12:48Speaker 4: the thing. Only people, the only people in CODIS generally speaking,
- 12:54Speaker 4: are convicts. So if the perp is not already convicted,
- 13:01Speaker 4: then once you put the DNA into CODIS, you may
- 13:06Speaker 4: not get an identical match, but you may get an
- 13:10Speaker 4: EH match, which would mean the purp is related to
- 13:17Speaker 4: the person in CODIS. It could be a brother, a cousin,
- 13:21Speaker 4: a dad, a son, a nephew, a distant nephew, a
- 13:25Speaker 4: distant cousin. You'll get a quasi match. And that is
- 13:31Speaker 4: what happened in Joseph DiAngelo, the Golden State Killer. Once
- 13:37Speaker 4: we got a little bit of a we had to
- 13:39Speaker 4: go back into genetic genealogy. But right now in CODIS
- 13:43Speaker 4: we will get a match of sorts. If there's a
- 13:47Speaker 4: relative in CODIS, tammy valor DNA expert, Isn't that true?
- 13:52Speaker 7: Yes, it is going to be a different kind of
- 13:55Speaker 7: search in the CODIS database. But first and foremost you're
- 13:59Speaker 7: going to be comparing that traditional str profile from this
- 14:03Speaker 7: unknown male to convicted offenders who's in this database, but
- 14:08Speaker 7: also other forensic unknown cases, So samples from other cases
- 14:13Speaker 7: that may have identified a potential perpetrator could also be
- 14:18Speaker 7: related to this case. So there is more information to
- 14:21Speaker 7: glean from that than if you would want to do
- 14:25Speaker 7: the familial testing right after that. That's going to be
- 14:28Speaker 7: another round of testing and comparison. But again, this laboratory
- 14:33Speaker 7: that is doing the work does have that in their wheelhouse,
- 14:37Speaker 7: so all of that can happen pretty much now simultaneously
- 14:41Speaker 7: if they do want to do a genealogy search with
- 14:45Speaker 7: additional type of testing as well. I do want to
- 14:48Speaker 7: clarify one thing that we don't put the whole genealogy
- 14:51Speaker 7: community in panic zone. But if they do the genails, how.
- 14:56Speaker 4: Is this about saying twenty three and may private test
- 15:00Speaker 4: las go ahead?
- 15:02Speaker 7: Ancestry dot com And there's only a few places that
- 15:06Speaker 7: you can actually allow law enforcement to search in the
- 15:11Speaker 7: genealogy databasees. That's family Tree, DNA and Jetmatch. So within
- 15:17Speaker 7: those two databases the genealogy search can happen for law enforcement.
- 15:23Speaker 7: But Ancestry and the other genealogy companies are not allowing
- 15:30Speaker 7: law enforcement to search at this time.
- 15:32Speaker 4: And as a matter of fact, that was one of
- 15:35Speaker 4: the problems in the Brian Coburger case. Certain private genealogical
- 15:41Speaker 4: testing labs were used reportedly, which would have opened up
- 15:45Speaker 4: a whole can of worms. What this means is that,
- 15:48Speaker 4: for instance, if you do twenty three and meters, you
- 15:52Speaker 4: don't agree to have your DNA out there to be
- 15:56Speaker 4: used in criminal testing or any other testing. So it's
- 16:00Speaker 4: a privacy issue for everyone that uses the website. That said,
- 16:05Speaker 4: first to codis and then to genetic genealogy, and again
- 16:09Speaker 4: that is how one of the worst killers was brought
- 16:13Speaker 4: to justice, a former cop, Joseph DiAngelo, the Golden State Killer,
- 16:18Speaker 4: through genetic genealogy.
- 16:27Speaker 1: Crime stories with Nancy Grace.
- 16:34Speaker 4: So we've got the glove, you've got a contaminated crime
- 16:37Speaker 4: scene which is out in the open. By the way,
- 16:40Speaker 4: sixteen gloves that we know of were found. Many of
- 16:43Speaker 4: those could have been tossed by anybody, not a searcher,
- 16:47Speaker 4: but maybe a searcher. This as we understand, a pool
- 16:51Speaker 4: cleaning crew was allowed on the scene. It never ends
- 16:55Speaker 4: with the scene being open. That said, there was another
- 17:00Speaker 4: bust on Friday night. What happened, Dave.
- 17:03Speaker 5: Matt Friday night, Nancy two separate locations, Okay, Pema County
- 17:08Speaker 5: Sheriff's deputies and the FBI conducted this massive late night
- 17:13Speaker 5: swat operation just before midnight. We've got swat descending on
- 17:18Speaker 5: a home in Tucson, and they get three people detained,
- 17:24Speaker 5: two guys and their mom apparently. But while this is
- 17:28Speaker 5: going on, the SWAT team at the house about two
- 17:31Speaker 5: miles from Nancy Guthrie's home, the FBI has a range
- 17:36Speaker 5: Rover pulled over in a parking lot of a restaurant.
- 17:40Speaker 5: That range rover person is also detained. So we've got
- 17:43Speaker 5: four people detained at the same time by SWAT and
- 17:47Speaker 5: the FBI and deputies. We've got the range rover, a
- 17:51Speaker 5: gray range Rover that is searched while officers actually held
- 17:57Speaker 5: up like a white sheet blocking the view from cameras
- 18:00Speaker 5: to see what they were looking for in the back
- 18:03Speaker 5: of that suv, the rain drover, and they actually swarmed
- 18:08Speaker 5: in both these locations. They interviewed all three. At the house,
- 18:12Speaker 5: they interviewed the rain rover guy and then Nancy. They
- 18:16Speaker 5: towed the range Rover away and let everybody go okay.
- 18:20Speaker 4: You know, I don't like the way you said that,
- 18:21Speaker 4: Dave mac I know, guys you're seeing video from our
- 18:25Speaker 4: friends at Fox News. I feel and empathize with your
- 18:31Speaker 4: Let them go okay, because again after the last catch
- 18:36Speaker 4: and release, everybody's hopes were dashed. You think, finally we've
- 18:41Speaker 4: caught the per We're gonna find Nancy Guthrie. She's gonna
- 18:43Speaker 4: be alive. And then the person's released. Okay, that was Pelozuelos. Carlos, Pelosuelos.
- 18:50Speaker 4: Now we've got neighbors about a mile ish away from
- 18:54Speaker 4: Nancy Guthrie's home. There was a big bust. The swat
- 18:59Speaker 4: team rolled out, the armored vehicles rolled out. We thought, okay,
- 19:02Speaker 4: now it's going to be solved. We're going to finance,
- 19:05Speaker 4: you go through your life, and they were released. Another
- 19:07Speaker 4: catch and released. I hear your disappointment, but straight out
- 19:13Speaker 4: to Scott Iiker, joining US digital forensics expert, founding member
- 19:17Speaker 4: of the FBI Cast Cellular Analysis Survey Team FBI twenty
- 19:24Speaker 4: two years, former police officer homicide with Norfolk, Virginia PD
- 19:30Speaker 4: and currently at Precision Cellular Analysis. Scott, thank you for
- 19:35Speaker 4: being with us tonight. This is how I think they're
- 19:38Speaker 4: zoning in on A Palazuela's and b those detained over
- 19:44Speaker 4: the weekend that have now been released through cell phone
- 19:49Speaker 4: data explain.
- 19:51Speaker 10: In these cases, we do a tower dump where we're
- 19:54Speaker 10: getting probably thousands of phones that might have been in
- 19:57Speaker 10: that area around the time Nancy goth You went missing.
- 20:01Speaker 10: So we're now finally starting to get through all that data,
- 20:04Speaker 10: trying to figure out which ones are normally there, like neighbors,
- 20:08Speaker 10: and which ones may have been passing through. And then
- 20:11Speaker 10: once you get the phone number, then you have to
- 20:13Speaker 10: figure out, all right, who's actually using this phone number?
- 20:16Speaker 10: Is it a fake name on the subscriber? So then
- 20:20Speaker 10: you have to figure out, all right, where may that
- 20:22Speaker 10: phone be? And I suspect that these are these stops
- 20:27Speaker 10: of the last couple of you are just talking about,
- 20:29Speaker 10: are results of either LPRs or phones being in the area.
- 20:34Speaker 10: Now they're just trying to track it down, see who's
- 20:36Speaker 10: actually using those phones and if they're really related to
- 20:40Speaker 10: the Nancy Guthrie case.
- 20:41Speaker 4: This as we learn FBI, they must have been watching
- 20:46Speaker 4: crime stories because as soon as the front Porch video
- 20:52Speaker 4: was released, our awesome staff in New York, Atlanta, Texas
- 20:57Speaker 4: and beyond got together and realized that the backpack was
- 21:04Speaker 4: an Ozark from Walmart. With then I would say an
- 21:07Speaker 4: hour of seeing it, Angelica and others had identified it also.
- 21:15Speaker 4: They identified our staff identified the jacket we believe coming
- 21:20Speaker 4: from Walmart, and even the ski mask. But now everybody,
- 21:25Speaker 4: you're validated law enforcement revealing the clothes worn by the
- 21:31Speaker 4: front porch perp were bought at Walmart, were bought at Walmart. Okay,
- 21:40Speaker 4: to icher again, I will never forget watching Top Mom
- 21:45Speaker 4: Casey Anthony one either Walmart or Target video buying beer
- 21:51Speaker 4: in a pushup bra while her daughter Kille was missing.
- 21:58Speaker 4: And it's happened in so many cases I can't even
- 22:00Speaker 4: begin to count them where a perp is caught on video. Man,
- 22:06Speaker 4: why don't they always buy a tarp? It's always a
- 22:08Speaker 4: tarp and cleaning supplies. That said, what's the next step
- 22:14Speaker 4: now that we know these items are bought at Walmart?
- 22:18Speaker 10: Once we get that type of information, and we do
- 22:20Speaker 10: this with the cell phones too, with burner phones, we
- 22:25Speaker 10: backtracked to where those items were purchased so that we
- 22:28Speaker 10: can actually hopefully find video of those actual purchases. And
- 22:34Speaker 10: as you know, the Walmart's and the targets, they have
- 22:37Speaker 10: fantastic video and those are really clear. So that does
- 22:41Speaker 10: normally help us to identify who actually had those items
- 22:46Speaker 10: to purchase those items, whereas using that south of their device.
- 22:50Speaker 4: Don't you know the FBI is pouring through local Walmart video,
- 22:55Speaker 4: you said something that pierced my heart. Scott Iiker again,
- 23:00Speaker 4: you mentioned that Walmart also sells burner phones. You can
- 23:06Speaker 4: identify cell numbers in the area. I think that's how
- 23:09Speaker 4: they got Carlos Velozuelos. I think that's why they honed
- 23:13Speaker 4: in on the neighbor that has been released because their
- 23:17Speaker 4: cell phone is active around the time Nancy Guthrie goes missing,
- 23:21Speaker 4: and they've done a data dup and they're isolating phones
- 23:24Speaker 4: used in the area in that neighborhood in those hours
- 23:28Speaker 4: and then expanding. Burner phones are a particular problem for cast.
- 23:34Speaker 4: Explain the problem with burner phones.
- 23:38Speaker 10: Well, we all kind of normal citizens have post paid phones.
- 23:43Speaker 10: We use the phone and then we pay our bill.
- 23:45Speaker 10: But most of the criminal element world uses burner phones
- 23:50Speaker 10: or prepaid phones. And when you go into Walmart, you
- 23:54Speaker 10: can buy the phone and buy time minutes for that phone,
- 23:59Speaker 10: and you don't have to put a name on it
- 24:00Speaker 10: because you've already paid the phone company. What they want
- 24:04Speaker 10: is their money, so you don't have to put a
- 24:07Speaker 10: real name or a real address or anything on there.
- 24:11Speaker 10: We've seen bugs Bunny or Roger Rabbit or know anything
- 24:15Speaker 10: you want to put in the subscriber information or nothing
- 24:18Speaker 10: at all. So then that we have to figure out
- 24:21Speaker 10: who actually has that phone and who's using.
- 24:24Speaker 4: And that is where the incredible video at Walmart will
- 24:28Speaker 4: come in to play. So what are you saying in
- 24:31Speaker 4: regular people talk is you can buy a burner phone
- 24:34Speaker 4: under any name, not your own, unlike your AT and
- 24:37Speaker 4: T or your VZW or your T mobilebile where it's
- 24:40Speaker 4: your name and your address. And yeah, you can track
- 24:43Speaker 4: that in about a split second a burner phone. No,
- 24:48Speaker 4: you have to find out where was the burner phone bought?
- 24:50Speaker 4: Was it on a credit card so you can trace
- 24:53Speaker 4: the perp? Was it on video? Walmart has great video,
- 24:56Speaker 4: NASA co take a lesson from Walmart. That's it. It's
- 24:59Speaker 4: a much more in depth process because you could even
- 25:03Speaker 4: pay with cash, so you may never know if it
- 25:07Speaker 4: weren't for the video. Who bought the burner phone used
- 25:11Speaker 4: outside Nancy Guthries' home at the time she was kidnapped. Okay,
- 25:16Speaker 4: another thing happened over the weekend, and this is amazing.
- 25:21Speaker 4: Dave Mac tell me about the drone search for Nancy
- 25:24Speaker 4: Guthries's pacemaker.
- 25:26Speaker 5: Nancy, this is something that in reality is an incredible
- 25:30Speaker 5: technology tool using a drone that is outfitted to actually
- 25:35Speaker 5: locate the Bluetooth signal that is sent from the casemaker
- 25:41Speaker 5: back to the Apple Watch. They've been able to fly
- 25:47Speaker 5: these drones at low level where they can find these
- 25:51Speaker 5: Bluetooth signals, and they've been flying them in a cross
- 25:55Speaker 5: grid pattern at low levels all over the Guthrie neighborhood
- 26:00Speaker 5: as well as areas of the desert. Yet they began
- 26:04Speaker 5: four days out using helicopters flying very low and doing
- 26:08Speaker 5: a grid search, and they were also using technology then
- 26:10Speaker 5: to try to locate the pacemaker. But the drums take
- 26:13Speaker 5: it to a whole new level with different technology that
- 26:16Speaker 5: really does zero in specifically on this pacemaker.
- 26:20Speaker 1: Bluetobe Crime Stories with Nancy Grace, you know what's interesting here,
- 26:35Speaker 1: And let me throw this back to Fitzgibbons.
- 26:38Speaker 4: Brian Fitzgibbons, USPA Nationwide Security. A viewer wrote me and said,
- 26:44Speaker 4: at the very beginning, why can't they strap a device
- 26:48Speaker 4: to a dog, a device that would pick up the
- 26:52Speaker 4: frequency of the pacemaker and walk it through the neighborhood,
- 26:56Speaker 4: walk it all around the neighborhood and get other dogs
- 26:59Speaker 4: with the same for at US and go out and
- 27:01Speaker 4: out and out and out, since we are pretty convinced
- 27:04Speaker 4: someone that new Nancy Guthrie is responsible for her kidnap.
- 27:08Speaker 4: And at first I'm like outfited dog. It wasn't that
- 27:15Speaker 4: bad of an idea, and I started thinking about it,
- 27:17Speaker 4: and I'm again researching how can you track a pacemaker?
- 27:20Speaker 4: All because of what that viewer wrote me. You cannot
- 27:24Speaker 4: track a pacemaker in that once it's away from its bluetooth,
- 27:29Speaker 4: it's no longer sending information to the doctor's office or
- 27:32Speaker 4: the clinic or the hospital. That ends. It doesn't have
- 27:36Speaker 4: GPS in it.
- 27:37Speaker 7: But the viewer.
- 27:40Speaker 4: Wasn't half wrong, she was all right, because they can't
- 27:46Speaker 4: be traced through that blue tooth frequency. It may not
- 27:50Speaker 4: be connecting to the clinic or the doctor, but it's
- 27:53Speaker 4: still emitting. It's brilliant. Fitzgibbons explained to me how they're
- 27:59Speaker 4: doing this. How low do the drones have to fly?
- 28:01Speaker 8: Yeah, so the viewer's logic was spot on right. And
- 28:04Speaker 8: this technology has been around for a good amount of
- 28:08Speaker 8: time and had a fair degree of success, particularly in
- 28:13Speaker 8: search and rescue operations. All right, So these could be
- 28:16Speaker 8: used after a natural disaster or you know, a hiker
- 28:19Speaker 8: loss in the mountains. You know, the distance is going
- 28:24Speaker 8: to vary right anywhere from thirty to hundreds of feet
- 28:28Speaker 8: in the air. It's all going to depend on the
- 28:30Speaker 8: power of that signal being emitted. So I don't think
- 28:34Speaker 8: there's an exact science on the pacemaker and how far
- 28:37Speaker 8: the drone would need to be, But what I can
- 28:40Speaker 8: tell you is they'll build to zero in on the
- 28:43Speaker 8: signal that that pacemaker creates to filter out all the
- 28:48Speaker 8: noise because unlike a massive grid search in a remote
- 28:53Speaker 8: area that these search and rescue applications are used to,
- 28:57Speaker 8: this is flying over populated air is where there's going
- 29:02Speaker 8: to be a lot of signal noise that they have
- 29:03Speaker 8: to filter out.
- 29:04Speaker 4: And Brian, here's the good news about pacemakers. My dad
- 29:09Speaker 4: had a pacemaker, my mom has a pacemaker. Everyone's asking
- 29:13Speaker 4: what if the battery runs out. Batteries and pacemakers usually
- 29:17Speaker 4: last five to fifteen years, with seven to twelve years
- 29:22Speaker 4: being the normal time the battery will last. Why because
- 29:27Speaker 4: to change a battery in a pacemaker, you actually have
- 29:32Speaker 4: to operate. It's probably a simple operation, but you still
- 29:36Speaker 4: have to go in. The person has the pacemaker in
- 29:40Speaker 4: their chest and you have to change the batteries, so
- 29:44Speaker 4: you don't want to do that very often with a
- 29:46Speaker 4: heart patient. So the norm is seven to twelve years
- 29:50Speaker 4: five at the earliest, fifteen at the longest. So I'm
- 29:54Speaker 4: not worried about the battery going out now very quickly.
- 29:59Speaker 4: I want to follow up just joining us now special
- 30:01Speaker 4: guest doctor Bethany Marshall. She is a renowned psychoanalyst out
- 30:06Speaker 4: of Beverly Hills. She's the author of deal Breaker. You
- 30:10Speaker 4: can see her now on Peacock and you can find
- 30:12Speaker 4: her at doctor Bethanymarshall dot com. Doctor Bethany. When I
- 30:17Speaker 4: showed that video of Savannah Guthrie, it broke my heart.
- 30:24Speaker 4: When I saw it for the first time, I felt
- 30:27Speaker 4: nauseous thinking about Savannah. She is so exhausted and she's
- 30:34Speaker 4: not giving up.
- 30:37Speaker 11: No, she is not Nancy. And she goes out and
- 30:39Speaker 11: she makes these statements without the studio lighting, the studio makeup,
- 30:45Speaker 11: any of the trappings of her profession which she could
- 30:48Speaker 11: use to try to appeal to whoever took her mother.
- 30:52Speaker 11: But she is coming out just as herself. And in
- 30:55Speaker 11: the very first video Nancy, she keeps using the word you.
- 30:59Speaker 11: She's trying to form a relationship with whoever the perpetrator is.
- 31:04Speaker 11: And in this one, when she says that she believes
- 31:07Speaker 11: that there's goodness in everyone, she's trying to create empathy,
- 31:12Speaker 11: that empathy on the part of the perpetrator towards her,
- 31:16Speaker 11: towards her family. She's not coming out harsh or angry,
- 31:21Speaker 11: or we're going to come after you, or we're going
- 31:22Speaker 11: to find you. Nothing punitive Nancy. She is soft, she
- 31:27Speaker 11: is engaged, and Nancy I kind of feel like she
- 31:30Speaker 11: might know who she's speaking to. She's looking into somebody's
- 31:36Speaker 11: eyes and heart metaphorically and saying, I know you, you
- 31:41Speaker 11: know me, We are both human beings. Please please bring
- 31:46Speaker 11: my mother back. And she's sort of implying no consequences
- 31:50Speaker 11: as well, which, of course there will be consequences, but
- 31:53Speaker 11: she's also trying to remove fear on the part of
- 31:56Speaker 11: the perpetrator.
- 31:57Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you this calls rude. I'm going
- 31:59Speaker 4: to go back to bethany one moment. The consequences will
- 32:02Speaker 4: be a hell of a lot worse if Nancy Guthrie dies.
- 32:07Speaker 6: Absolutely, you know, in Arizona, we certainly have a reputation
- 32:13Speaker 6: for using the death penalty. And this certainly would be
- 32:18Speaker 6: a case that would qualify if she is later found
- 32:23Speaker 6: to have passed away. Now, what's interesting about this case
- 32:27Speaker 6: is that there may be a parallel prosecution. And we've
- 32:32Speaker 6: seen this before in Arizona. In another high profile case,
- 32:35Speaker 6: Senator Mark Kelly, you know, his wife Gabby Giffords was
- 32:39Speaker 6: shot and almost killed along with federal Judge John Roll.
- 32:43Speaker 6: In those two cases, you both had the federal prosecutors
- 32:47Speaker 6: prosecuting at the same time as a state And what
- 32:50Speaker 6: I found really interesting, Nancy, is that on Friday, the
- 32:52Speaker 6: FEDS executed a federal search warrant, not a state search warrant.
- 32:58Speaker 6: And this could be an indication of the friction that
- 33:02Speaker 6: is happening between the Feds and the state, because I'll
- 33:06Speaker 6: tell you I was both a state prosecutor and a
- 33:08Speaker 6: federal prosecutor. When I was on the state side, I
- 33:11Speaker 6: often worked with the FBI and I would craft and
- 33:14Speaker 6: issue the sub penis.
- 33:16Speaker 9: What I would never expect for the same FBI agents
- 33:19Speaker 9: to go to the US Attorney's office to do their
- 33:22Speaker 9: own parallel investigation, cutting me out of it. So, you know,
- 33:26Speaker 9: this is a really interesting development.
- 33:29Speaker 4: Should the sniffer technique.
- 33:31Speaker 5: Have been used earlier.
- 33:32Speaker 6: You know, I have two gripes about this, Nancy. The
- 33:35Speaker 6: first is you know, in any missing person's case, the
- 33:39Speaker 6: most important time to gather and collect evidence is at
- 33:42Speaker 6: the very beginning, and by all reports, this so called
- 33:46Speaker 6: sniffer technology wasn't used for at least two weeks after
- 33:52Speaker 6: Nancy Guthrie was discovered missing. Also, what I don't like
- 33:56Speaker 6: about this move is to tell the public what it's
- 33:59Speaker 6: doing with that type of technology, because you're signaling to
- 34:03Speaker 6: the bad guys that we're.
- 34:04Speaker 9: Looking for your bluetooth devices.
- 34:07Speaker 6: And you know, bad guys have been known to try
- 34:11Speaker 6: to destroy evidence so they don't get caught. And I
- 34:14Speaker 6: would be concerned that this could put Nancy Guthrie in
- 34:18Speaker 6: mortal peril should the bad guys be listening to the
- 34:24Speaker 6: reports on TV.
- 34:26Speaker 4: You know, I want to go back to Scott Iiker,
- 34:29Speaker 4: founding member of CAST. Scott can I see Scott plays?
- 34:35Speaker 4: Is it true that you suggested to CAST the use
- 34:40Speaker 4: of the drones to try to find that bluetooth frequency
- 34:45Speaker 4: being admitted from Nancy's pacemaker.
- 34:47Speaker 10: I actually did send a message to CAST on Saturday,
- 34:51Speaker 10: so two days ago, and I said, hey, has anybody
- 34:53Speaker 10: thought about using the Bluetooth sniffer to go out and
- 34:57Speaker 10: see if they can capture the signal Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker.
- 35:03Speaker 10: They said, well, I don't know, but we'll check and
- 35:07Speaker 10: see if the command post is doing that. And then
- 35:09Speaker 10: the next day it came out on the media that
- 35:12Speaker 10: they were doing that. So I don't know if I
- 35:15Speaker 10: provided them to do that. I have a feeling they
- 35:18Speaker 10: were doing that ahead of time. It just hit me
- 35:21Speaker 10: later on in the investigation. Now, this device I've used before,
- 35:26Speaker 10: it's very short range. I was surprised they were trying
- 35:30Speaker 10: to do it from a helicopter at one point in time.
- 35:33Speaker 10: Definitely vehicles or low flying drones because the distance for Bluetooth,
- 35:38Speaker 10: as you might know, when you walk away from your
- 35:40Speaker 10: phone with your ear uppuds in, it's like thirty forty
- 35:43Speaker 10: feet at the most. So they're going to have to
- 35:45Speaker 10: get really close to this, you know, any Bluetooth device
- 35:49Speaker 10: to be able to grab its signal. So they're going
- 35:51Speaker 10: to have a lot of work. But I think it's
- 35:53Speaker 10: a great tactic to be using.
- 35:54Speaker 4: Well, you know, you're right, because recall we heard at
- 35:57Speaker 4: the beginning once Nancy was twenty feet away from I
- 36:02Speaker 4: think it was twenty feet away from the bluetooth connection.
- 36:08Speaker 4: The pacemaker information ended to doctor Bethany Marshall joining us.
- 36:12Speaker 4: Doctor Bethany, you mentioned how Savannah was creating a connection
- 36:20Speaker 4: with the perp, evoking empathy. Who would take an eighty
- 36:26Speaker 4: four year old grandma and use her this way? We
- 36:32Speaker 4: know it's a man. We know it is a Hispanic
- 36:36Speaker 4: mail or a swarthy, olive complexted mail. We know that
- 36:41Speaker 4: there's facial hair. We know his high between five nine
- 36:46Speaker 4: and five eleven. We know his medium build. But who
- 36:51Speaker 4: is this guy?
- 36:53Speaker 11: Bethany Well, Nancy, He's only the face of the crime.
- 36:56Speaker 11: As Brian Fitzgibbons said on one of the shows, He's
- 36:59Speaker 11: just a foot soldier. He's an amateur Nancy. Multiple gloves,
- 37:03Speaker 11: potentially looks like he has multiple jackets on, potentially a
- 37:07Speaker 11: tarp in his backpack. He does not know that the
- 37:10Speaker 11: camera is there. This is not a very high functioning guy.
- 37:14Speaker 11: Porch Purp is not so putting together the behavioral clues
- 37:18Speaker 11: that you and the panel have been discussing. I wouldn't
- 37:21Speaker 11: be surprised if he went himself to Walmart. He'd have
- 37:25Speaker 11: to make the purchase himself, because he knows his size, jacket, shoe,
- 37:29Speaker 11: glove size, all of that. I wouldn't be surprised to
- 37:32Speaker 11: learn that everything is all on one receipt, even perhaps
- 37:36Speaker 11: the burner phone, so that narrows the search a little bit.
- 37:39Speaker 11: In terms of a non custodial kidnapping, Nancy, normally that
- 37:44Speaker 11: is to control the victim, whether it's a child or
- 37:48Speaker 11: a young adult. In this case, we have a geriatric
- 37:51Speaker 11: person an older person. But for what reason would they
- 37:54Speaker 11: control the victim? Something that has come to mind, Nancy.
- 37:58Speaker 11: And by the way, with the gloves, surprised about the
- 38:00Speaker 11: sixteen gloves because we have websuit sleuths all over the
- 38:04Speaker 11: place out there also searching, interfering and helping, I don't
- 38:08Speaker 11: know which way. And also this guy's wearing multiple gloves potentially,
- 38:11Speaker 11: so I wouldn't be surprised. I'm not surprised to learn
- 38:14Speaker 11: that they're picking up multiple gloves out there. But think
- 38:17Speaker 11: about your mother, Nancy, and how proud she has been
- 38:22Speaker 11: over the years of you having your own TV show.
- 38:25Speaker 11: I'm sure she goes to or I know she's housebound
- 38:28Speaker 11: out but to her doctors, her physical therapists, her nutritionists,
- 38:32Speaker 11: and talking about you and how proud she is of you.
- 38:36Speaker 11: And I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's somebody
- 38:40Speaker 11: in Nancy Guthrie's medical community where she frequently visited, and
- 38:45Speaker 11: she would talk about Savannah and all of her kids
- 38:48Speaker 11: and how proud she is of them and how how
- 38:51Speaker 11: wonderful they are, and have you seen my daughter on TV?
- 38:54Speaker 11: And if that didn't incite somebody who's down on their
- 38:57Speaker 11: luck or wanted to control her victim in some way
- 39:01Speaker 11: to say, oh, gosh, this is my way out of
- 39:05Speaker 11: my current financial predicament. But then whoever took her is
- 39:09Speaker 11: not sophisticated enough to find a good way to get
- 39:12Speaker 11: the money. And I think that's the paradox that's confusing everybody.
- 39:17Speaker 11: You take this geriatric person for some purpose, but now
- 39:20Speaker 11: what's the purpose? So they can't implement the purpose? So
- 39:24Speaker 11: where does that put us in terms of this search?
- 39:27Speaker 11: It's somebody who needed her for the purpose, but then
- 39:30Speaker 11: couldn't implement the purpose itself.
- 39:33Speaker 4: Right. Tammy Ballard joining us DNA expert, tell me about
- 39:39Speaker 4: Tammy thino typing and how that could help.
- 39:44Speaker 7: Well, there's biogeographical analysis to give you sort of a
- 39:51Speaker 7: visual aspect from where some of these people could come
- 39:56Speaker 7: from and originate from what their nationality is. That is
- 40:00Speaker 7: testing that is also done pretty much simultaneously when they
- 40:04Speaker 7: test for the genealogy to give somebody a little bit
- 40:09Speaker 7: more of an idea of what a person may look like.
- 40:14Speaker 4: Yes, Phenotyping the process of measuring analyzing physical biochemical traits
- 40:22Speaker 4: of the perp. It identifies traits in biology, medicine, agriculture.
- 40:32Speaker 4: Deep phenotyping or digital phenotyping is a DNA based prediction
- 40:40Speaker 4: of physical attributes color of hair, do they have freckles,
- 40:47Speaker 4: the pigment of the skin, and so much more. Phenotyping
- 40:53Speaker 4: could be used in this case. It's an additional tool
- 40:59Speaker 4: used by law enforcement and I've seen it work. Joining
- 41:03Speaker 4: us tonight is a PR guru, Rob Shooter, author of
- 41:09Speaker 4: a brand new book that's climbing the charts on Amazon.
- 41:12Speaker 4: It started with a whisper and he's the star of
- 41:15Speaker 4: Naughty but Nice. You can also find him on his substack. Shooter.
- 41:19Speaker 4: Thank you for being with us. The facts are coming
- 41:24Speaker 4: fast and furious, but I want to take a moment
- 41:27Speaker 4: and talk about my friend, your friend Savannah, and this
- 41:34Speaker 4: last plea I got to tell you all of her.
- 41:39Speaker 4: Please have just like I've been a gut punch, but
- 41:43Speaker 4: this last one, I mean, she's so tired. She's just
- 41:49Speaker 4: trying to get her mom back. What can you tell
- 41:55Speaker 4: us about your recollections of Savannah? I keep saying saying
- 42:01Speaker 4: she's just as nice and wonderful in real life as
- 42:05Speaker 4: she is on the Today Show, But yet online everybody's
- 42:09Speaker 4: hating on her, and I don't really understand that.
- 42:12Speaker 12: Yeah, I've turned that out, Nancy. It's too painful for me.
- 42:16Speaker 12: I've been on the Today Show maybe thirty forty times.
- 42:19Speaker 12: I've known Savannah since she was a correspondent on the show.
- 42:22Speaker 12: When she started that show, she did not start as
- 42:25Speaker 12: the co host. She started as their white house correspondent,
- 42:28Speaker 12: and so I've known her for a really long time.
- 42:30Speaker 12: The last time I was on the show, Savannah interviewed me.
- 42:33Speaker 12: She's the real deal. During commercial breaks, she laughs, she
- 42:37Speaker 12: asks you questions about your life. She remembers details about
- 42:41Speaker 12: your private life. I was had a wedding about six
- 42:43Speaker 12: months ago, and Savannah was at the wedding and we
- 42:46Speaker 12: had a really great catch up there. She's the real deal.
- 42:49Speaker 12: And we've worked in TV, Nancy a long time. It's
- 42:52Speaker 12: not just TV. I think a lot of businesses are
- 42:54Speaker 12: like this. People in the office on television at their
- 42:57Speaker 12: job always normally hopefully put the best version of themselves
- 43:01Speaker 12: and when they leave that job me a little bit frosty,
- 43:04Speaker 12: a little bit prickly. Not Savannah. She was the real deal.
- 43:08Speaker 12: And in New York, I've seen her out in restaurants,
- 43:11Speaker 12: I've seen her out at the theater. She's kind, she's
- 43:15Speaker 12: kind to people, and she's very much aware that she
- 43:18Speaker 12: has the dream job. She always wanted to be a reporter.
- 43:22Speaker 12: She always tried. Her mom encouraged her to do this.
- 43:26Speaker 12: Against all odds, this young reporter ended up hosting the
- 43:31Speaker 12: Today Show, the biggest morning show in the world, certainly
- 43:35Speaker 12: in America, and she never forgot who she was. It
- 43:38Speaker 12: would have been very easy for Savannah when she became
- 43:41Speaker 12: the co host to become a diva. She could have
- 43:44Speaker 12: become a star. We know them, We know people on
- 43:48Speaker 12: TV who act like that. Not Savannah. She was always
- 43:51Speaker 12: nice to the crew, she was always nice to the guests.
- 43:54Speaker 12: It was always nice to the producers. And that's why
- 43:57Speaker 12: this has really been a good punch to everybody at NBC.
- 44:02Speaker 12: Within that building, there are a lot of stinkers. Savannah
- 44:05Speaker 12: is not one of them. She's one of the good people.
- 44:08Speaker 7: You know.
- 44:08Speaker 4: It's really interesting. I'm soaking in every word you said,
- 44:11Speaker 4: Rob Shooter, because I don't get the hate focused on
- 44:17Speaker 4: her at obviously the worst time in her life. She
- 44:21Speaker 4: lost her father when she was sixteen. I remember my
- 44:25Speaker 4: dad had his first caroinary thrombosis when I was sixteen,
- 44:30Speaker 4: and we had my birthday in the hospital and I
- 44:36Speaker 4: got my cross and I remember being afraid I would
- 44:42Speaker 4: lose my dad. She did lose her dad, and now
- 44:46Speaker 4: she's about to lose her mom. So I don't get
- 44:50Speaker 4: the hate. I guess you tell your clients to just
- 44:52Speaker 4: ignore everything online.
- 44:53Speaker 12: Yeah, you do. Savannah's got a tough skin for somebody
- 44:58Speaker 12: as kind for somebody, as gentle as she is. She
- 45:01Speaker 12: works in a really tough business, and being on television
- 45:05Speaker 12: every single day in front of millions of people, you
- 45:08Speaker 12: open yourself up to a lot of criticism about what
- 45:11Speaker 12: you say, the way you look, and so she has
- 45:13Speaker 12: done this for a long time. So I'm told at
- 45:15Speaker 12: the moment I spoke to some friends of hers, people
- 45:18Speaker 12: that work with her, she's just focused on family. She's
- 45:21Speaker 12: focused on getting her mom back all that stuff online
- 45:24Speaker 12: that's been there for years, or the hate or the criticism.
- 45:28Speaker 12: I think she's tuning it out because, let's be honest,
- 45:31Speaker 12: she's got a much bigger worry.
- 45:34Speaker 4: I'm sure she doesn't care, just her mom.
- 45:36Speaker 12: But let me sh Rob Sheeter.
- 45:37Speaker 4: This is what I always say, and I don't know
- 45:39Speaker 4: if you, the pr and guru to the stars would agree.
- 45:41Speaker 4: But have you ever called your cable company and said, wow,
- 45:45Speaker 4: you know what, I watch crime Stories tonight on YouTube
- 45:48Speaker 4: and it was awesome and I just want to thank
- 45:50Speaker 4: you for all you did to make that possible. No,
- 45:53Speaker 4: you call the cable company and go, my cable's out,
- 45:58Speaker 4: big sick, right, a whole horrible I hate you.
- 46:02Speaker 12: Right.
- 46:02Speaker 4: Nobody writes in or calls in good things. It's only
- 46:06Speaker 4: when you have a complaint. So those are the people
- 46:09Speaker 4: trashing Savannah at a time like this. Who are those people? Right?
- 46:14Speaker 12: They're terrible people, Nancy. They're terrible, angry people. And this
- 46:18Speaker 12: is not about Savannah. It's about them. You know, I've
- 46:21Speaker 12: ran many different websites and the comments, eighty percent of
- 46:25Speaker 12: them are really hateful. People don't comment when they want
- 46:28Speaker 12: to say something nice. So let's change that I try
- 46:30Speaker 12: now when I go to a restaurant to leave a
- 46:32Speaker 12: good review on the help instead of just the bad ones.
- 46:35Speaker 12: And so we can change the world if we start.
- 46:38Speaker 4: Thinking somehow, I knew you were going to make this
- 46:40Speaker 4: about you, Rob Sheheter. It all goes back to what
- 46:43Speaker 4: our grandma said, if you can't say anything nice, just
- 46:45Speaker 4: don't say anything at all. I think we all agree
- 46:49Speaker 4: on that, Rob Shoeter. I'm not concerned about what's going
- 46:53Speaker 4: to happen after we find Nancy Guthrie. I'm concerned about
- 46:57Speaker 4: finding Nancy Guthrie. But there's all the speculation brewing about
- 47:01Speaker 4: Savannah leaving the Today Show. That's not my concern right now.
- 47:04Speaker 4: We'll burn that ridge when we get there. But what's
- 47:06Speaker 4: that all about?
- 47:07Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 47:08Speaker 12: The Today Show is a multimillion dollar business. It is
- 47:11Speaker 12: presented as a family, and I believe that that's mainly
- 47:15Speaker 12: true about them. They care about each other over there.
- 47:17Speaker 12: But it is a job, and this is a company
- 47:20Speaker 12: now that is trying to figure out what are they
- 47:22Speaker 12: going to do. It would be irresponsible of the executives
- 47:26Speaker 12: to not have a plan B, to have a safety net.
- 47:29Speaker 12: So there is no date for Savannah to return. My
- 47:32Speaker 12: sources are telling me she might never return to the
- 47:36Speaker 12: Today Show, and she's certainly not going to return until
- 47:39Speaker 12: there's some solution, until there's some answers about her mom.
- 47:42Speaker 12: So Savannah's going to be gone from that show, probably
- 47:45Speaker 12: for the next six months, maybe longer. And so they
- 47:48Speaker 12: are looking at different options and told they're handling it
- 47:50Speaker 12: quite carefully. They don't want to be about contracts or
- 47:54Speaker 12: money or opportunities for thirsty people on staff trying to
- 47:58Speaker 12: get her job. There is a reality to this. When
- 48:01Speaker 12: somebody is away from a show, a lot of people around.
- 48:08Speaker 4: Well, I'm glad that you have looked into the Rob Shooter,
- 48:10Speaker 4: Crystal Ball, and you can see that this case will
- 48:13Speaker 4: be over in six months and put away like the
- 48:15Speaker 4: tea service when you're done with your tea. So thank
- 48:18Speaker 4: you for that, Rob Shooter. I'm not concerned about what's
- 48:21Speaker 4: going to happen on a morning TV show. I'm concerned
- 48:24Speaker 4: about finding Nancy Guthrie, and I hope you're wrong. I
- 48:27Speaker 4: hope that Nancy is found and Savannah returns to life
- 48:31Speaker 4: as normal. That's my prayer. Rob Shooter grew to the
- 48:36Speaker 4: stars and author of a brand new book. It started
- 48:39Speaker 4: with a whisper. Thank you for being with us tonight.
- 48:41Speaker 12: Good to be with you, Nancy. And let me just
- 48:43Speaker 12: add here we talk about people on television being generous
- 48:46Speaker 12: and being kind and being authentic, you're the real deal.
- 48:50Speaker 4: Two Dave mac Crime Stories investigative reporter. You've learned something
- 48:55Speaker 4: that I consider to be very probative regarding that polyester holster.
- 49:00Speaker 4: Let's see the holster the perp had on in a
- 49:04Speaker 4: very bizarre manner. Tell me what you've learned about the holster.
- 49:10Speaker 5: Well, you know, it's interesting to note, Nancy, that most
- 49:13Speaker 5: of what our perp was wearing from the backpack on
- 49:18Speaker 5: all available exclusively at Walmart stores. But this very unique
- 49:24Speaker 5: cheap holster also available at Walmart. But in Tucson, where
- 49:29Speaker 5: they have more than a dozen Walmart stores, only two
- 49:34Speaker 5: of the Tucson area Walmarts had that holster in stock,
- 49:39Speaker 5: only two out of more than a dozen.
- 49:42Speaker 4: If you know or think you know anything about this case,
- 49:46Speaker 4: whether you consider it to be large, small, inconsequential or not,
- 49:51Speaker 4: please dial toll free eight hundred two two five five
- 49:54Speaker 4: three two four, or if you wish to remain anonymous
- 49:59Speaker 4: five two zero eight eight two seven four six three
- 50:04Speaker 4: There is a one hundred thousand dollars reward. Thank you
- 50:10Speaker 4: to our guest, but especially to you for keeping the
- 50:13Speaker 4: search for Nancy Duthrie alive. Nancy Gray signing off for tonight,
- 50:18Speaker 4: but I'll see you tomorrow night. And until then, good night, friend,
