Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / New Detail About Suspect’s “Target” Emerges | What Happened to Nancy Guthrie?
Transcript
- 0:01We are halfway through week 3 of the disappearance of Nancy
- 0:07Guthrie, the 84 year old grandmother from Tucson, AZ who
- 0:12is the mother of one of America's beloved Co hosts in
- 0:19daytime television, Savannah Guthrie.
- 0:22We're getting little dribs and drabs of information for mostly,
- 0:30at least from my perspective, from Sheriff Nanos.
- 0:33But does it feel like we're any closer to finding Nancy Guthrie?
- 0:38Now, this isn't a a criticism of the Sheriff's Office or the FBII
- 0:45think law enforcement is doing their best, but are we any
- 0:48closer? New details have come out in the
- 0:53investigation, and we're going to get into those next.
- 0:55Stick with me. This video contains mature
- 1:09themes and discussions intended only for adult audiences.
- 1:13Viewer discretion is advised. Hello there my friend and
- 1:18welcome back to another true crime conversation with me,
- 1:21Gavin Fish. So thankful that you would join
- 1:24me wherever you're joining me from and wherever you're joining
- 1:27me from in the most creative way possible.
- 1:30Tell me in the comments, for example.
- 1:33I do. I do see that Mooney is saying
- 1:36that she is from the state of lovers, which could be none
- 1:40other than Virginia, Ohio. Paw Mom saying here in an Ohio
- 1:45city known for abolitionist John Brown's tannery and the
- 1:49importation of Canadian black squirrels.
- 1:52I don't know which city that is, but but I am glad you are here
- 1:56wherever you're from. Please tell me in the comments.
- 1:58I love that part. Guys.
- 2:01We are, as I said in the intro, we are halfway through week 3 in
- 2:08the search for Nancy Guthrie. Now, just as a quick recap of
- 2:14the case, Nancy Guthrie was last seen.
- 2:18I'm kind of sounding like an airline pilot tonight.
- 2:21Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for flying with us.
- 2:25I got to stop that. Sorry about that.
- 2:27OK. Nancy Guthrie was last seen on
- 2:31Saturday, January 31st of this year of our Lord 2026.
- 2:37She went to her family's house for games and for dinner and was
- 2:44brought back. And that was the last.
- 2:46Time that she was seen. She was supposed to attend
- 2:51church. I don't know if it was in person
- 2:54or if it was remotely. I've heard both ways.
- 2:57But either way she was not at her church services and the
- 3:03church called her family and said hey, Nancy's not here.
- 3:05What? What gives?
- 3:07That's unlike her. The entire Guthrie family have
- 3:12shown, at least to me throughout this entire ordeal, what a
- 3:16family of faith they are. And Nancy obviously was because
- 3:20her church family missed her, called, called her, her daughter
- 3:26said what's what's going on with Nancy?
- 3:28Maybe somebody should check on her.
- 3:30They go, they find a a scene that is that looks like a crime
- 3:36scene. They call 911, the police come
- 3:39and that begins the investigation.
- 3:42Since then, there have been numerous ransom demands with
- 3:47deadlines that have elapsed. There have been other I think
- 3:52possibly impersonators, maybe not sending different emails and
- 4:00communications to different media outlets.
- 4:03The one that is the most obvious is TMZ, which I find weird.
- 4:09But still no sign of Misses Guthrie anywhere.
- 4:18Now this is a woman who has a pacemaker.
- 4:20She is reported to be on medication that is life saving
- 4:25heart medication. As time passes, oh, I hate to
- 4:30think about this and I hate to say this aloud, But as time
- 4:34passes, the chances of her safe recovery dwindle.
- 4:44And now Savannah Guthrie has gone on social media several
- 4:48times saying, hey, we still have faith.
- 4:49We know she's out there. We want her back, you know,
- 4:53pleading with her kidnappers to give her back.
- 4:57And let's just pause for a moment and think about what a
- 5:00wild case this is. We're talking about a kidnapping
- 5:04of an octogenarian Tucson woman for ransom.
- 5:08When does that happen? I mean, this is the plot of
- 5:12movies. It's actually, I mean, it's sort
- 5:15of it's usually children in movies, right?
- 5:21In fact my my favorite. Can I even?
- 5:25Say this my favorite movie, one of my favorite movies of all
- 5:28time Gavin, what are you doing? Gavin, what are you doing That's
- 5:40right, I'm on a tangent. One of my favorite movies of all
- 5:43time is Man on Fire, the wonderful, wonderful movie.
- 5:48But this normally would be in a movie, this wouldn't be
- 5:52happening in real life. And maybe that is what has
- 5:57captured us that this and then all the drama around it, right.
- 6:02The sheriff doesn't like to play well with others.
- 6:05At least that's the reporting. The sheriff.
- 6:08You know, I, I, I've seen the interview that Brian Anton did
- 6:11with a former undersheriff who said this is a guy that never
- 6:14forgets. He holds grudges now.
- 6:17I don't I don't know if that's true.
- 6:22Maybe Sheriff Nanos is doing his very best to to move the
- 6:27investigation along, right? Maybe using that private lab
- 6:33like his department frequently does in the lab in Florida was
- 6:40their decision to make things go faster.
- 6:44Doesn't doesn't seem all that right to me, but I mean, this
- 6:48case, this case, right? This case.
- 6:51Let's check in real quick with what y'all are saying.
- 6:55We've got Elizabeth McMaster, Esquire.

- 8:53Thanks guys for checking in and boy am I glad that we have that.
- 8:57I can show your comments on the screen again.
- 8:59That makes me happy. Okie, Dokie.
- 9:03There are a couple of reports that I found really interesting
- 9:05that I want to bring to you guys.
- 9:07There's one from the New York Times.
- 9:09It's a long piece. We're going to do that at the
- 9:11end. But as I teased in the title of
- 9:16this of this live stream, new detail about the suspect's
- 9:20target emerges. Let me let me start with some
- 9:26information out of NBC News. This is being brought to us from
- 9:30Liz Kreutz. Investigators hope the unique
- 9:33holster and possible ring could offer clue to suspect's
- 9:37identity. Now, listen, talking about the
- 9:41ring, I have to repent here. I have repented.
- 9:43I have seen the light and made the switch.
- 9:47There has been commentary about the ring underneath the gloved
- 9:51hand of our perpetrator. Let me see if I can bring that.
- 9:56U see if we can see it. Yeah, there we go.
- 9:58O see on that. Looks like his pinky finger.
- 10:01There's like a little bump, a little highlight where the light
- 10:04has caught it. A lot of people have been
- 10:07talking online, including in the fish tank, which you're always
- 10:10welcome to join us in over on Facebook.
- 10:14Just search Gavin fish or the fish tank.
- 10:16You'll find us. You'll find us or go to
- 10:17gavinfish.com. Click the little fishy up in the
- 10:19upper right hand corner. Lots of conversation about the
- 10:22ring theory. I personally was like, OK, so
- 10:26he's wearing a pinky ring. You know, I have a friend, I
- 10:32have a couple of friends that are retired Pennsylvania State
- 10:35troopers. They are homicide investigators
- 10:38and they, they have I think combined they have investigated
- 10:42something like 1500 homicides and solved their solve rate is
- 10:48through the roof, including some cold cases that they're always
- 10:52telling me don't get stuck on little details, Don't get stuck
- 10:55on those little things. Clock them, you know, note them,
- 11:00don't get stuck on them. And this is one of those things
- 11:02where I was like. I'm going to move on, right?
- 11:05But this, this headline investigators hope unique
- 11:09holster and possible ring could offer a clue to the suspect's
- 11:11identity. Has me repentant, OK?
- 11:15Liz Kreutz writes and video taken from Guthrie's porch the
- 11:19morning she went missing, a man could be seen wearing a gun
- 11:22holster. And it's a unique one, Pima
- 11:25County Sheriff Chris Nanos said yesterday.
- 11:27Let's see if we can bring that up it he's, he's carrying it
- 11:32right there. In the front area.
- 11:35Dangling in front of his own dangly bits.
- 11:38But it, it looks to me like it's a holster for like a 22, like a
- 11:42like a like a Luger that has a long barrel for a handgun.
- 11:48And it looks like the handgun that is in it does not fit.
- 11:51That's just me though. Investigators are looking to gun
- 11:55stores to try to match the unique holster quote.
- 11:58We know he had a gun. We know he had a holster that
- 12:01had some pretty unique characteristics, Nanos said in
- 12:04an interview. Quote, we can quite, we can't
- 12:08quite identify it yet, but that's being worked on.
- 12:11So naturally we go to our gun shops everywhere and say, have
- 12:14you seen this guy? Can you help us identify this
- 12:17weapon? Can you help us identify this
- 12:19holster? He said.
- 12:21Nanos also said that images of the suspect could show him
- 12:24wearing a ring. Quote I look at the same photo
- 12:27you look at and I and I get I see it now it's added.
- 12:32Quote I'm going to give that to my team.
- 12:34They'll look at it, they'll analyze it and we'll see.
- 12:36Maybe maybe it is, he says dwindling off.
- 12:42That part feels like reporting from yesterday that they're just
- 12:45adding into the article. But yeah, I mean, I can't see it
- 12:50in that picture. It's in this picture like he's
- 12:53looks to be wearing a ring in his on his pinky finger.
- 12:58So we will see there. Now continuing trying to
- 13:03identify pieces of information, NBC News reported.
- 13:07This was just earlier today. Again, Liz Kreutz writing
- 13:10identification of Walmart backpack could be critical,
- 13:13sheriff says The Pima County sheriff said yesterday that
- 13:16identifying the backpack worn by the suspect, which was sold at
- 13:19Walmart could be a critical clue in the Guthrie investigation.
- 13:23Quote that backpack we could positively ident now identify as
- 13:27a backpack that is sold at one place only.
- 13:29That's Walmart. Unfortunately for all of us,
- 13:32Walmart has like 16 billion locations scattered across the
- 13:37fruited plain right next to all the dollar generals, right.
- 13:41So who knows if it was a local Walmart or what, but I'm I'm
- 13:46sure they are going through I I'm not sure of this what he's
- 13:49saying, Gavin I. Strongly suspect they're going
- 13:53through all of the purchasers of of those backpacks.
- 13:59Hopefully many of them have. Debit cards or credit cards
- 14:02attached to them quote. So we're working with our
- 14:06Walmart managers all across the state to try to find out how
- 14:09many sales there were of that backpack in the last 20-30, the
- 14:12last 60 days, he said. And can we do something with
- 14:16that? Can we break it?
- 14:17Maybe we'll find a credit card or a bank card, he said.
- 14:20Maybe we'll find a video of the guy walking in.
- 14:23Nanos also encouraged, and this is important, guys.
- 14:27Nanos also encouraged members of the public to submit any
- 14:30information they may have and said no tip is too small.
- 14:35If it's a if, if you feel like it's an important tip.
- 14:38Now, let's not inundate. Let's see, the number for the
- 14:42FBI is 1800. Call FBI.
- 14:45Let's not inundate them with crap.
- 14:47But let's, let's think long and hard, right?
- 14:50Do we, do we look at this guy and say, I think I might know
- 14:55that guy. And yeah, I, I know a guy who's
- 14:5859510 in the Tucson area that has wackadoo, cuckoo bird nuts
- 15:05and wears a pinky ring. You know, if if you have that
- 15:10information, please, please do give it.
- 15:13Here's the video that has been released and we're going to read
- 15:16here in a second. We might look out and get more
- 15:20video. In fact, let me while that is
- 15:22playing. This came in about an hour ago.
- 15:27Again, Liz Kreutz is writing it for NBC News Sheriff says work
- 15:31underway to retrieve additional camera footage from Guthrie
- 15:35home. It's been more than a week,
- 15:39writes Liz Kreutz, since authorities released doorbell
- 15:43camera video from the morning Guthrie went missing from her
- 15:48home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos
- 15:50said that Google is still working on retrieving additional
- 15:54footage from other Nest cameras at Guthrie's property.
- 15:57The didn't the sheriff say, I never said that there were more
- 16:04Nest cameras or that there were more cameras.
- 16:06Didn't. He say that.
- 16:08But now he's saying they're trying to work on additional
- 16:11footage from other NEST cameras at Guthrie's property, but
- 16:16warned that doing so is a complicated process.
- 16:22He said that other private companies, including Meta and
- 16:25Apple, have offered help. I hope that they take them up on
- 16:29that. In fact, I tried to do a short
- 16:31today, but my my video system, man am I am I battling
- 16:36technology? Which is hilarious because.
- 16:38That is what my background is. I tried to do a short today
- 16:47talking about database architecture and understanding
- 16:51what that is because there have been a lot of questions since I
- 16:55talked about, you know, my training as a database.
- 16:57Architect. The what a database architect
- 17:02is, I'll just tell you now, is somebody who designs how a
- 17:08database stores data, implements the the storage of it and the
- 17:13retrieval of it. Somebody who takes into
- 17:18consideration the requirements of who, whoever needs the
- 17:21database, the client, the organization, the company,
- 17:23whatever, to create something that works well for them.
- 17:27Now, a database table is something that is very, very
- 17:30simple. It's, it's a flat basically grid
- 17:35that stores records sequentially.
- 17:39I mean, I, I'm, I'm really simplifying this, right?
- 17:42But it it stores records and in rows.
- 17:47We can think of them as in rows and then the data within those
- 17:51rows are in columns like an excel spreadsheet.
- 17:54The difference of course is that is that you have to be able to
- 17:59design these tables to interact with one another to to keep that
- 18:05data integris right now a good database architect and something
- 18:14like and they would be way better out of them than me.
- 18:18I am so out of practice on this. The last time I worked as ADBA
- 18:22was, I don't know, 2000 and 2526 years since.
- 18:31I did this full time beyond just web and software development
- 18:35where I was working as ADBA a good.
- 18:42A good database will not only hold information and references
- 18:49to where files are, but when the files are deleted it will inform
- 18:54people later on looking at that database where what happens to
- 18:58those files. So you know somebody, a high
- 19:03level engineer or even a junior engineer.
- 19:08From companies like Meta and Alphabet and Apple would be
- 19:12very, very good to employ sometimes working faster than
- 19:18than forensics, forensic, digital forensic investigators.
- 19:25I think they would work quick. Just give them like Doritos,
- 19:30some Mountain Dew and a keyboard and they will go after it so.
- 19:35Hopefully that is underway. Now, let me let's bring up a
- 19:40photo of Nancy again and let's just check in with you guys.
- 19:43See what you guys are saying. Over in the old live chat, Donna
- 19:51Peterson says why do you think the sheriff will waste time
- 19:53doing individual interviews but no one wants to do a press
- 19:56conference. It would be an opinion.
- 19:59I guess I'm from the potato state.
- 20:01Well, welcome. Oh, look what?
- 20:04That's kind of cut that off. Hey, guys, bear with me for a
- 20:07moment while I see if I can pull that up just a little bit.
- 20:14Let's see if we can bring that back.
- 20:19There we go. OK.
- 20:22Well, the the sheriff, this is my opinion only.
- 20:26OK. And you're asking me what I
- 20:27think the sheriff is a elected official.
- 20:32Therefore, the incentive structure, the incentives that
- 20:36work on the sheriff are different than those that work
- 20:40on his investigators, his deputies, other law enforcement
- 20:45that are not elected, the feds, the FBI specifically in this
- 20:50case, the incentive structure is completely different.
- 20:53The sheriff is an elected official.
- 20:58That means that primarily first and foremost, and I don't care
- 21:01what he says, what any sheriff says, who says if they say, oh,
- 21:07I am a law enforcement officer first and foremost, bullcrap.
- 21:12They are not. They are a politician first and
- 21:14foremost and a law enforcement official second at best.
- 21:20OK, so why is he doing these individual interviews?
- 21:24Because he's a politician. That's my opinion.
- 21:27Now, at the same time, by doing these, he is keeping the case in
- 21:33the forefront of the 24 hour news cycle and that is a good
- 21:38thing in my opinion. He's doing a good thing by doing
- 21:41that. He's competing with the Olympics
- 21:45and with all sorts of other things that are happening in the
- 21:49world. The economic forums overseas,
- 21:52the, you know, the political things of the day, the NATO
- 21:56summits and you know, the, the Supreme Court is going to start
- 22:00handing out decisions. There's tons of news that
- 22:04happens in that 24 hour cycle. And this case has been able to
- 22:08stay #1 since February 1st. And it's, and I think part of
- 22:14that is because the sheriff is doing what he's doing.
- 22:17So I don't blame him for doing it.
- 22:19It does feel sometimes like, dude, just go do your job.
- 22:23But his job isn't to investigate.
- 22:25That's not his job. His job is to run the
- 22:27department. So I don't mind that that he's
- 22:30doing it. Thanks for that comment, Donna.
- 22:34Angela says, I don't think it's a ring under the glove.
- 22:37I wear double gloves at work. Cut proof the nitrile over them.
- 22:43They crease and bulge up like that.
- 22:46So you think I well, I mean, it would be smart to wear a cut
- 22:49proof glove double gloved if you're in doing nefarious
- 22:57things. Let's let's find that image
- 23:00again. This one.
- 23:01Does it look like a ring or does it look like a bulge from an
- 23:06under glove? See, this is one of the reasons
- 23:09where I was like, I'm not even going to worry about this,
- 23:12especially when there are things that are more pressing.
- 23:14Like for example, that weird holster that is being worn
- 23:18strangely, the gun that doesn't appear to fit in that holster,
- 23:25the eyebrows, the mustache, the the backpack, that sort of
- 23:30stuff. But but yeah, great.
- 23:33Comment Great comment. Miss Chivo's Dragon says My new
- 23:36theory is that everything scary looking about this guy is
- 23:40intentional mask and a brandishing weapon to
- 23:44intimidate, but he's not experienced with actual.
- 23:46Firearms perhaps, yeah, perhaps. I would imagine that Arizona is
- 23:55an open carry state. I.
- 24:00Let me just do a little research on this.
- 24:03Is AZ an open carry state? Yes, Arizona is an open carry
- 24:10state for people who are 18 and over who can legally possess A
- 24:15firearm and then allows for permit list concealed carry for
- 24:20those 21 and older. Whoa, what permit list?
- 24:23Concealed carry. Oh.
- 24:25So I I was going to say maybe he just likes to walk around with a
- 24:29firearm because it's Arizona and it is his constitutional right.
- 24:32Yeah, I don't know. I don't know.
- 24:34But it is a weird way to hold a gun.
- 24:38And that does show that maybe he's he's not experienced with
- 24:43it. Very good.
- 24:45Jennifer says Gavin wondering if the pinky ring maybe something
- 24:47to throw off recognition if the perpetrator doesn't normally
- 24:50wear one. I can't imagine that somebody is
- 24:53that like, I don't think that somebody who would go about
- 24:57doing what they're doing is that smart.
- 25:00Here is the thing. You guys know the Iron law,
- 25:03right? I will repeat it.
- 25:05Gavin's Iron Law of criminal mastermindry is that if you
- 25:08think what you have what it takes to be a criminal
- 25:10mastermind, that is evidence in and of itself that you don't
- 25:13have what it takes to become a criminal mastermind.
- 25:15However, do you know how people become criminal masterminds?
- 25:19They, they experience crime like they, they commit crimes at a
- 25:28higher and higher level over time and they learn and
- 25:31sometimes they get caught and they do 3060 days and they're in
- 25:34five years or whatever, but they be.
- 25:37But by the time they're in their 40s and 50s, man, they are good
- 25:41at it. I talked with my friend John,
- 25:44John and Sally out in England, who they have a podcast called
- 25:51True Crime Investigations UK, their husband and wife duo, both
- 25:56of them. Let's see, she is a retired
- 25:59lawyer and she worked as a cop for, you know, before she, she
- 26:06became qualified as a lawyer. And then he did his entire
- 26:09career as a cop and he he told me stories about these career
- 26:13criminals that just, you know, would they'd get caught and
- 26:17they'd have to, you know, do a couple months in jail.
- 26:19And and it was kind of like a game.
- 26:21I didn't get away with it this time.
- 26:22But what did I learn? Right.
- 26:25So do I think that they have what it takes to put a ring on
- 26:28their pinky finger to throw people off?
- 26:33Maybe. I don't know.
- 26:35I don't, I just don't. I don't think.
- 26:37I don't think that that's something that you would learn
- 26:39in your education going up, you know, in the in the criminal
- 26:44underworld. But but just my opinion,
- 26:46Jennifer, just my opinion. Let's see it.
- 26:52Just refreshed on me here we go Redondo Beach.
- 26:55I'm starting to think this may be an inside job.
- 26:57If you have a person missing in your family, you'd be out front
- 27:00of the cameras every single day. So I, I disagree with your, with
- 27:06your comment here respectfully and lovingly like we do here on
- 27:09this channel. I, I think that if somebody is
- 27:15out front, out in front of the camera all the time, that's more
- 27:19of a sign of consciousness of guilt.
- 27:22Think of Drew Peterson, Scott Peterson, Chris Watts.
- 27:28Well, Scott Peterson and Chris Watts for sure.
- 27:32And keep in mind that, well, two things the sheriff has said that
- 27:37all of the family and all the people connected to Nancy
- 27:40Guthrie, including Nancy's children and their spouses have
- 27:44been cleared. And then that's number one.
- 27:49And the number two, what was #2 Gavin, give me a second number
- 27:55#2 is they have posted on social media multiple times.
- 28:03So that's, that's just my take. Thank you, Jesse says.
- 28:10Apparently they discovered a search for Nancy's address and
- 28:13her daughter's salary. If they can trace that, it could
- 28:16be big. That is something that I did.
- 28:19Read Let me Nancy Guthrie search for address and Savannah.
- 28:32'S salary so. I want to.
- 28:52Get to the the source on this. Let me see if I can get to the
- 28:58source. It's it's it's AM radio.
- 29:02OK, so, OK, so I'm going to bring you over to my website.
- 29:07Thank you for bringing this up. This is published on 930 WFMD,
- 29:14but it says it's by U.S. News Today on Fox News Internet
- 29:18user search for Nancy Guthrie's address and daughter's salary
- 29:21before today hosts mother vanished.
- 29:25Let's see if there are sources to this.
- 29:27An Internet user appears to have searched for an Nancy Guthrie's
- 29:30home address in the weeks prior to her suspected abduction.
- 29:34Google Trends shows she is the mother of today's show.
- 29:37Co host Savannah Guthrie, who's been missing, blah blah blah
- 29:41last week, blah blah blah blah OK.
- 29:45As the Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI continue work
- 29:48on the case, Fox News Digital has learned that mysterious
- 29:50Google searches for Nancy's address and Savannah's salary
- 29:54occurred before her disappearance.
- 29:55Google Trends records show there was activity for Guthrie's
- 29:59address in the Catalina foothills between June 21st and
- 30:0228th of 25 originating in Arizona.
- 30:06The address. Saw activity again on January
- 30:0911th, 2026. The January 11th date also
- 30:13surfaced in a message on the Ring camera app posted on
- 30:15February 12th, asking neighbors to share video from between 9:00
- 30:19PM and midnight that day, as well as the evening of January
- 30:2331st when Guthrie was last accounted for.
- 30:25OK, so that January 11th date is important.
- 30:30Pima County Sheriff's Department Captain replied to the post
- 30:34asking users to look for verified posts.
- 30:37From the department when submitting tips.
- 30:39Officially, investigators are seeking home security video
- 30:42recorded within 2 miles of Guthrie's home between January
- 30:441st and February 2nd. The ringpost did not come from
- 30:48the Pima County Sheriff's Office.
- 30:49It was posted by a neighbor. OK, so it did not come.
- 30:52Sheriff's spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
- 30:55PCSD sent out a request via the Neighbors app for video from
- 30:58January 1 to February 2. OK.
- 31:01So I mean, Fox News Digital is reporting that Google Trends is
- 31:06showing that. There were searches for Nancy
- 31:09Guthrie's home address and for Savannah Guthrie's salary.
- 31:14Thank you very much for that comment.
- 31:16And I'm glad that we were able to to verify that and see if
- 31:21there's a new update. New update from NBC News is
- 31:25saying Tucson Crime Stoppers reward has grown by $100,000
- 31:29thanks to a donation bringing the total reward for information
- 31:33leading to an arrest to 102,500. Tucson Crime Stoppers, known
- 31:38locally as 88 Crime, announced the increase reward on social
- 31:42media earlier today. Let me see if I can bring that
- 31:45up for you. Yeah, yeah.
- 31:49Here we are up to $100,000 being offered by private donors and up
- 31:58to 2500 by 88 Crime, Inc for information leading to the
- 32:01arrest of the person or persons, persons involved in the
- 32:04disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. So there it is that that is good
- 32:11news and glad that NBC reported that for us.
- 32:16OK, continuing your comments here.
- 32:22GF Gluten free. Joke I am AGF 2.
- 32:27Appreciate your content always. Yeah, GF does stand for Gavin
- 32:31Fish. It does not stand for
- 32:33girlfriend. It does not stand for gluten
- 32:34free, though it does on many menus that I read.
- 32:37And in our family we have a child who has celiac disease, so
- 32:41we are a gluten free home. In fact, one of our children
- 32:45today made a loaf of bread gluten free.
- 32:51That is the first in however many years that we have been
- 32:54gluten free. That for me tasted like leavened
- 32:59bread. It was delicious and yeah, very,
- 33:04very, very good. Unbelievable.
- 33:08Unbelievable, says Gavin. What have what job haven't you
- 33:11worked, guys? Here's the thing about me, OK?
- 33:15I'm a person who loses attention easily.
- 33:23This is what happened. I went to college and I hated
- 33:27college. I I hated it and after one term
- 33:33I said this is not for me. Now, I was in Argentina and
- 33:38disconnected from the world during the Windows 95 revolution
- 33:43and when I came home to the great United States of America,
- 33:47I've. And this, by the way, total.
- 33:50Total. Tangent, tangent.
- 33:55Now, Yeah, OK, this is a total tangent, but this is what
- 33:59happened. OK, well, I'll continue after
- 34:03after I failed desiring to continue my college education.
- 34:08And it's not that I I did poorly, I did well.
- 34:11And as far as my grades. In the one term that I took, I I
- 34:21was looking for something to do with computers and at the time
- 34:24there were a bunch of Microsoft certified schools that were
- 34:27popping up across the fruited plain.
- 34:29The problem with them was that I didn't have the 40 or 50 or
- 34:33$60,000. That it would cost to do that.
- 34:36I couldn't get a student loan because none of them were
- 34:38accredited. And but I really wanted to learn
- 34:42the information. I wanted to become a systems
- 34:44engineer. I wanted to be a network
- 34:45engineer. I really wanted to learn how to
- 34:47be a web developer and so I looked for work with a company
- 34:52that would teach me those skills and I took a job with Packard
- 34:56Bell NEC at the time. It became NEC computers after
- 34:59that and what they did for me I. It was a very entry level job.
- 35:05I made just barely over minimum wage as a customer service Rep,
- 35:09but they let me attend Packard Bell University.
- 35:11And in Packard Bell University I got to do all of those Microsoft
- 35:17certified classes and, and, and coursework.
- 35:21And you know, basically you do a bunch of classes until you
- 35:25finish a course and then you become a certified whatever,
- 35:28right? Mcdba, your database
- 35:31administrator or you're a systems engineer, whatever.
- 35:34And my company paid for those things.
- 35:36And as I, as I got more and more certifications, I can't remember
- 35:40what the total number was at the time.
- 35:42It was like 20 something I think.
- 35:46I think I got. Six major like course
- 35:48certifications, but it any it doesn't matter.
- 35:51I got all these things and and then I started moving up in the
- 35:55company until I worked in. The they called it the E group,
- 36:00which was basically all the web developers, all of the database
- 36:04administrators, all of those folks.
- 36:07So that's what happened. Now after that, I consulted with
- 36:11companies as a, an IT guy and a web developer until I got in.
- 36:17I, I basically was hired as a consultant and IT consultant
- 36:20with a high end audio company, which ultimately hired me as
- 36:26their web developer full time. And then I left for a little
- 36:30while to start a new company that terrifically failed, came
- 36:34back and I worked my way up to a sales director position that
- 36:38took me to other audio companies where I worked my way up into
- 36:41the C-Suite. And then like COVID hit and at
- 36:47that point I had left full term or full time.
- 36:53Employment and was consulting for high end audio companies
- 36:57clove it hit it closed down my business and that's when I
- 36:59started to work as a reporter and as a YouTube There it is
- 37:04that it so yeah, I've had a huge career arc.
- 37:09Huge, Pretty funny unbox with, but the architect of that
- 37:17database should easily be able to easily search for bits of
- 37:20information contained in the database.
- 37:21Yes, but the architect typically isn't there anymore.
- 37:25They've moved on to. Something else and by the way,
- 37:27if I if I developed if I was part of the architecture team of
- 37:32of the data backbone of whatever app or or service that we were
- 37:37creating, I would work on that intensely for however long it
- 37:42took me to work on that. And then I'd be off to the next
- 37:44project and the next and the next and the next.
- 37:47So the best yeah, if you can find that that data architect.
- 37:53But if they did a very good job of building that database and
- 37:58indexing properly and, you know, doing all the things that that
- 38:04are required in order to get data, to access the data out of
- 38:08the database, then a good DBA or or you know, several other
- 38:14engineers will be able to get in there and understand it real
- 38:16quick. OK, yes, I have not become a
- 38:22brain surgeon. I I don't have any legal
- 38:25training, any medical training. Bewildered, says Sandala here in
- 38:30Newport, RI. But isn't the footage rewrote
- 38:34after certain periods of time and because he looked and
- 38:38because he took the front Cam, it never did.
- 38:40If it was rewritten, if, you know, with an IT background,
- 38:44would you still be able to find it?
- 38:45Yeah. OK, So the way that data works,
- 38:49Oh my goodness, It has been so long since I've done this.
- 38:55And honestly, when I was when I was working in IT, we were still
- 38:58mostly talking about spinning discs.
- 39:01But my guess is in these giant data centers, their storage
- 39:06mediums probably still are for the most part spinning disks,
- 39:09magnetic disks, just because it's cheap and and the access
- 39:13speeds are so fast. Like in our personal computers,
- 39:16we have solid-state drives, right?
- 39:17But I think in data centers I might be wrong on this, but at
- 39:24least backups I would guess just based on cost alone would
- 39:27probably be spinning disk. But here's what happens in a
- 39:29spinning disk environment anyway.
- 39:32Data gets written from the either the outside in or the
- 39:35inside out, and it's sequential and.
- 39:38As data gets deleted, it just gets marked as deleted.
- 39:41It doesn't get deleted until you fill up the disk and then you
- 39:46come back and you find the. Parts that are marked as deleted
- 39:49and you start to overwrite them. OK.
- 39:52But where this becomes very complicated is that in these
- 39:55large data centers we are talking about, you know,
- 40:00hundreds of copies of the same data for redundancy purposes,
- 40:05hundreds of copies. So, you know, for example, if
- 40:10you're just talking about oh, like.
- 40:15A RAID system, right? A simple RAID system that a
- 40:19YouTube might have like somebody like I might have is, is like a
- 40:23RAID five with 20 discs. And, and so there are 10 copies
- 40:30over those 20 discs. Let's see, in a RAID, I'm going
- 40:34to get this wrong. There are multiple copies over
- 40:37those, those 20 discs and they're all writing at different
- 40:40times. So there could be bits of data
- 40:44in many different places that have that data still there even
- 40:49though it is marked as deleted. And maybe it is overwritten on
- 40:53disks a through T, but not at disk, you know, V through triple
- 40:59Z. It there's that's where it
- 41:02becomes super complicated and and the requirement of engineers
- 41:08is is there that blue B word says I'm here from that pan
- 41:13state that always has Thunder. Also you can see the Cowboys
- 41:18sooner Dante, are you are you by chance from Oklahoma?
- 41:23That is that was a good one. I liked that one a lot.
- 41:27OK, a couple. More the driftwood lover, Gavin.
- 41:30If it's a ring could he wear? It so I I need to bring up Nancy
- 41:35again. Could he wear it so if he hits
- 41:37her with it, he causes damage and more pain?
- 41:40I think with an 84 year old, I hate to think about these kinds
- 41:44of things. Would I wear a ring to cause
- 41:47more damage to somebody that, I mean, that's the for every
- 41:52action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.
- 41:54So I'm going to get hurt by that too.
- 41:57And she's 80. 4 do you need do you need pain compliance than 84
- 42:01year old woman? I man, I don't think so.
- 42:03I don't think so. Philip Carter but the FBI don't
- 42:08clear any body until the case is solved.
- 42:12I I'm just going by what the sheriff said.
- 42:17Oh and cooler by the lake Sheriff has walked the family
- 42:19has been cleared statement back. OK again politician let me just
- 42:26go a couple more glam bird is also gluten free have a daughter
- 42:29with Crohn's so I can relate. Bravo for the home baking.
- 42:32Yes, our our daughter loves baking.
- 42:35Our non celiac daughter loves loves loves baking.
- 42:38She does really good stuff and I nailed it Oklahoma very good OK,
- 42:42let's continue on tonight's going to be long guys.
- 42:45I'm sorry, I normally try to wrap this up in about an hour,
- 42:48but. We've got a couple more things
- 42:50that we want to get through. OK, let's talk about genetic
- 42:55genealogy. This written by Adam Sabas.
- 43:01Or sabes, I don't know. Nancy on Fox News Nancy Guthrie
- 43:06DNA evidence from glove undergoes genetic genealogy
- 43:09testing Dateline Tucson Advanced DNA testing, which combines
- 43:13crime scene DNA analysis and information from commercial
- 43:16commercial genealogy databases, could take weeks or months to
- 43:19process after the DNA found on the glove near Nancy Guthrie's
- 43:23home didn't produce a match in the FBI database, according to
- 43:26an expert. And we talked about this
- 43:28yesterday. During an interview with Fox
- 43:30News on Tuesday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the DNA
- 43:34recovered from Guthrie's home, as well as a glove found near
- 43:37the house, wasn't a match for any records found in the FBI
- 43:40database known as the Combined DNA Index System, or CODIS.
- 43:45So he's adding into that the home, the.
- 43:47DNA found inside the home didn't match CODIS as well an FBI
- 43:51official. Told.
- 43:52Fox News Digital That investigative genetic genealogy
- 43:55is underway in the Guthrie investigation.
- 43:58Retired Special Agent Jason Pak told Fox News Digital that
- 44:02investigative genetic genealogy is a technique used by FBI that
- 44:05combines DNA analysis from crime scenes with searching publicly
- 44:08available commercial genealogy databases.
- 44:11The old fashioned and old fashioned genealogy research,
- 44:14Again, we talked about this yesterday, said the
- 44:18investigative genetic genealogy could take several weeks to
- 44:21several months in a case like this, noting it's not a quick
- 44:23database check. And that is correct.
- 44:25It's not a one to one. The actual processing of the DNA
- 44:31does not take all that long, assuming that there's not a lab
- 44:35backup, right, But a couple of days and they can have those
- 44:40reports, they can have, they can have those snips that they can
- 44:44upload to the database. But from there on out, it is.
- 44:48Old. Fashioned genealogy research and
- 44:52that and that takes real skill as a.
- 44:56You guys are going to laugh at this, but I.
- 44:58Am an amateur genealogist. It it has to do with the
- 45:06culture. Of my upbringing, right, My
- 45:09religious practice. But genealogy is very important
- 45:14to to people of my faith and family history is very, very
- 45:18important. So it is something that I do on
- 45:21the regular. It is it takes skill, skill far
- 45:27beyond what I am able to do. But, and yeah, it could take it
- 45:32take a while. So once quote, once the DNA
- 45:35profile is built from the glove, a genealogist builds a family
- 45:38tree working outward from partial matches in consumer
- 45:41databases like Gedmatch or Family Tree DNA.
- 45:44You're essentially reconstructing someone's family
- 45:46history from distant cousins and working your way inward until
- 45:50you can identify a common ancestor and then narrow down a
- 45:53specific individual. The timeline depends on a few
- 45:56variables. So that is ongoing.
- 45:59That could take, that could take a long time.
- 46:03And, and I, I'm I know just based on the kind of people that
- 46:09we know are genetic genealogy researchers.
- 46:12They are they have a passion for this and so I'm sure they're
- 46:19they're giving it their all. OK.
- 46:23And then a couple one more before we get to the long one.
- 46:26This from CBS News written by 4 writers Amanda Arden, Jonathan
- 46:31Vilioti, Jordan Freeman and Alex Sundby.
- 46:36Investigators have not ruled out that an accomplice aided the
- 46:39suspected kidnapper seen in the doorbell camera video outside
- 46:44the Tucson, AZ, home of Nancy Guthrie the night of her
- 46:46disappearance, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.
- 46:50Blah blah blah. Video recovered There are
- 46:54additional cameras from the property that engineers are
- 46:56still working through as they try to recover usable video.
- 47:00Investigators are hopeful that tech companies working on the
- 47:02videos will uncover more, according to the Sheriff's
- 47:04Department. Authorities haven't named a
- 47:06suspect or person of interest in the case and did not provide
- 47:09further information about a possible accomplice.
- 47:11So I, I think it probably is, I, I think that it's probable that
- 47:15there's more than one person working on this crime.
- 47:21It just, it just feels like one person isn't going to get away
- 47:23with this. There has to be an accomplice.
- 47:25But that that's just, that's just me.
- 47:29OK, this from the New York Times.
- 47:33And the reason that I want to talk talk specifically about
- 47:37this is because it's talking about us.
- 47:41It's talking about people like us now, the way that I have been
- 47:46expressing this ever since the Nick Reiner case.
- 47:49But I have been living this and we all have been living this on
- 47:53this channel for the entire time that I have been a channel is we
- 47:57want to temper our speculation with compassion and with
- 47:59humanity. That was that is a that that was
- 48:07something that the Reiner family asked of the public.
- 48:10And I took it to heart. And I love what we we, we temper
- 48:15our speculation with compassion and with humanity.
- 48:18We don't want to be the kind of people that rub salt in an open
- 48:22wound. This is this is important to us.
- 48:25We want to learn new things. It is, I mean, we're going to be
- 48:28honest, it is rather entertaining and fascinating to
- 48:35watch the law enforcement process play out not only law
- 48:39enforcement process, but also the prosecutorial process later
- 48:43on. But I I thought.
- 48:45That I would. Share this with you guys just as
- 48:47a reminder so that we can not be guilty of rubbing salt in the
- 48:54wounds of the family members of victims.
- 48:58OK, the the headline here is rampant speculation in the
- 49:01Guthrie cases. Like quote salt on the open
- 49:04wound. The police seem stumped.
- 49:08Nancy Guthrie has been kidnapped had been kidnapped in the night,
- 49:11and investigators had no idea who was responsible.
- 49:13But a legion of amateur sleuths and true crime obsessives had
- 49:17already made-up their minds. It was a family member seeking
- 49:21inheritance money. One YouTube comment or guest.
- 49:25Something seemed off about the older daughter.
- 49:27Another set on Reddit on X. One woman wrote confidently that
- 49:30she had seen enough true crime shows to know that it was the
- 49:34older daughter and son-in-law who are guilty.
- 49:36After all, the onlookers reasoned, that's the way these
- 49:39things usually play out. Fevered and unfounded
- 49:43speculation chromed around social media, live streams and
- 49:48message boards. And by Monday, Sheriff Chris
- 49:51Nanos of Pima County, Arizona, was fed up.
- 49:53Three weeks in, he said, armchair detectives were still
- 49:57flinging allegations that were not only incorrect but also
- 50:00cruel. The sheriff issued an
- 50:03exasperated statement publicly ruling out Miss Guthrie's
- 50:07children and their spouses as suspects, a move he had resisted
- 50:10because he wanted to avoid officially eliminating anyone
- 50:13until the culprit was in custody.
- 50:15By the way, this was published today in The New York Times.
- 50:22Quote I just got tired. Of it, Sheriff Nano said in an
- 50:25interview on Tuesday. Yesterday quote, I need to step
- 50:29in when my victims are being re victimized by some knuckleheads
- 50:32out there. He doesn't really, he doesn't
- 50:35really, but he feels that he does.
- 50:38And so he did the desperate and you know what?
- 50:41And I don't blame him. I'm but remember our previous
- 50:45conversation about he is a politician, OK?
- 50:48He can just let it roll off his back and continue his
- 50:51investigation the way other professionals do.
- 50:54But he is a politician, not a law enforcement officer.
- 50:56First and foremost, the disappearance of Miss Guthrie,
- 50:5984, the mother of today's show host Savannah Guthrie, has
- 51:02captured the nation's attention and it's lurid imagination.
- 51:06An online ecosystem devoted to making entertainment of high
- 51:10profile murders and mysteries has turbocharged interest in the
- 51:13case. Miss Guthrie's case is one of
- 51:16many in recent years to set off such a fervor as true crime
- 51:19stories have become big business in a world where engagement is
- 51:22easily monetized. And that is not untrue.
- 51:25That is true. Exhibit A, Your Honor.
- 51:30Gavin Fish's YouTube channel. This is a.
- 51:31Monetized channel. I do this as as part of my job
- 51:36in order to earn money for my family because I know that it is
- 51:40something that is desired that there is a demand for and
- 51:44something that I can provide what I work.
- 51:47Really hard to do. Though is to not be super
- 51:50speculative and to keep the victims in in my mind and in my
- 51:56heart. And there are so many other
- 51:58channels that do this very well too.
- 52:00There so many, but I think that we might be in the minority.
- 52:05And the ones that do are the ones that you guys all tend to
- 52:08watch, right? Like at least watchers of my
- 52:11channel tend to watch. That's Ghisla Kay over at
- 52:14Grizzly True Crime. That is Joel Waldman over
- 52:17surviving the survivor. That is Josh Ritter over
- 52:21courtroom confidential that and then for the just the
- 52:25storytelling channels that Cheryl and Dale that's they're
- 52:28just there's so many, but it's not untrue what they're saying
- 52:34here. Engagement like this is
- 52:36monetizable. You can make a living off of
- 52:39this and for big media companies, you can make so much
- 52:44money off of this. Continuing the article.
- 52:47But the frenzied atmosphere often gives way to reckless and
- 52:50inaccurate accusations. The 2022 killings of four
- 52:54University of Idaho students, for instance, left a trail of
- 52:58those wrongly blamed. Crime has long enthralled, but
- 53:02the Internet has enabled the public to participate in
- 53:04investigations vicariously. Now, true crime fanatics do not
- 53:08need to wait for a case to be cracked for a podcast to drop.
- 53:11They can try to solve it themselves.
- 53:13And by the way, this isn't a bad thing, right?
- 53:16This is not a bad thing at all. Yeah.
- 53:20A great comment here from Daddy Crab.
- 53:23The mainstream media is monetized.
- 53:25Yeah, 100%. And thank you very much for
- 53:28that, for that super chat. I deeply appreciate it.
- 53:31You know, I, I don't ask for super chats and super sticker
- 53:34super stickers all the time, but boy, does it help.
- 53:39And I am really grateful. Thanks, Daddy Crab.
- 53:42And that is a very good point. The mainstream media is
- 53:45monetized too. OK, good.
- 53:48Thank you for that. OK Oh, by the way, this isn't a
- 53:54bad thing, right? True crime fanatics do not need
- 53:56to wait for a case to be cracked for a podcast to drop.
- 53:59They can try to solve it themselves.
- 54:01Guys, if it weren't for the work of so-called true crime
- 54:07fanatics, Gabby Petito's body might still be laying in that
- 54:13Creek bed. Alan Greenberg's case may still
- 54:18be just chalked up as another self unaliving.
- 54:25There's There are lots of cases where there was real meaningful
- 54:34participation. And so, yeah, I this is not a
- 54:41bad thing, but all good things taken to the extreme can be bad,
- 54:46right? Content creators and their
- 54:48followers have flocked to Miss Guthrie St. in the foothills of
- 54:51Tucson, joining the throng of television and newspaper
- 54:54reporter standing Sentinel. This drives me nuts.
- 54:57OK, that sentence, I just want to slap the author for it
- 55:02because the the so-called like what would we say?
- 55:09How would I describe this? Let me look for the proper word,
- 55:13self ordained media like they have.
- 55:18They have a higher calling and it is only them that that should
- 55:22be standing Sentinel is bull crap.
- 55:27Long before long before giant established media companies, the
- 55:34media was a citizen driven thing and I think it still should be
- 55:40standing Sentinel. Those reporters are just as bad
- 55:44as the people that they're complaining about in this
- 55:46article. But the I mean, the point is
- 55:50night lost, not lost on me that there are unscrupulous Youtubers
- 55:54and podcasters that are doing nothing to help out on the
- 55:59street. Nancy Guthrie St.
- 56:01In fact, I saw one today that was live streaming from the
- 56:04street, absolutely nothing, just a live camera and there were
- 56:0931,000 people watching it. I can't tell you how much money
- 56:14that guy was making guys, that guy was making so much money.
- 56:20I I bet that live stream. Let me just do some calculations
- 56:24real quick. Let's see, I bet that guy made
- 56:33$50,000 today standing on the street in front of Nancy
- 56:39Guthrie's house, just with a camera pointed at nothing
- 56:42happening. What am I doing?
- 56:46I should I? No, I'm not going to do that.
- 56:49But yeah. The spotlight of the case has
- 56:54led to 10s of thousands of tips, the authorities have said.
- 56:56Good. But the accompanying conjecture
- 56:59and those tips wouldn't have come in without this spotlight.
- 57:04But the accompanying conjecture is complicated and already
- 57:07difficult investigation and has stung Miss Guthrie's grieving
- 57:10family. I'm sure that's true as well.
- 57:12The assertion that Miss Guthrie's son-in-law was or
- 57:14could be the prime suspect as the news anchor.
- 57:17Remember, not a member of the new the new media, not a
- 57:23YouTube, not a podcaster, but a news anchor and parenthetically,
- 57:30podcast host Ashley Banfield put it risked endangering law
- 57:33enforcement officials delicate relationship with the Guthrie
- 57:36family, a key source of information.
- 57:38Sheriff Nanos said Miss Banfield has defended her report and
- 57:42maintained that the son-in-law was the focus of investigators
- 57:44of the time. Then she was probably right.
- 57:47Such speculation has also inspired a flood of baseless
- 57:50tips, the sheriff added, which has distracted officers from
- 57:57more credible clues. However, the catch 22, of
- 57:59course, is he wouldn't have had the credible clues without all
- 58:02the baseless tips. Quote you're taking away
- 58:04valuable resources for wild goose chases Sheriff Nanos set.
- 58:08Well, lucky for Sheriff Nanos, the nation's law enforcement
- 58:13division is helping, too. Technology has made it easier to
- 58:16follow investigations in real time, but the public typically
- 58:18lacks the training and access to crucial facts that the
- 58:21authorities rely on to form their conclusion, said John
- 58:24Iannarelli. Iannarelli, a former assistant
- 58:27special agent in charge of the FB is Phoenix division.
- 58:30And that's certainly true. A case is almost never as simple
- 58:33as it might appear to curious civilians who have become
- 58:35accustomed to mysteries tightly wrapped up in police procedurals
- 58:39and documentaries, he said. Also probably true.
- 58:43It's very easy to sit back from the outside and say, hey, this
- 58:45person should be the suspect, Mr. Iannarelli said.
- 58:48We have ACSI generation where we expect everything to be solved
- 58:52in an hour, but the reality is it takes time.
- 58:54For some following investigators, every move has
- 58:59proved profitable. Yeah, look at that picture.
- 59:04Actually, I can see Brian in standing right there.
- 59:06You can't miss him. Those that silvery mane is.
- 59:10Is Josh Ritter out there? I can't tell.
- 59:12Anyway, live streamers have seen record views and have raked in
- 59:18followers. The gossip outlet TMZ, which
- 59:20received a ransom note from someone purporting to be Miss
- 59:23Guthrie's kidnapper shortly after her disappearance, has
- 59:26covered the case seemingly non-stop.
- 59:28And the GAMBLING SITE Polymarket has recorded $145,000 in bets
- 59:33about when the abductor would be arrested.
- 59:35If that's just sick, I have not raked in record views.
- 59:40By the way, my record views were raked in on Madeline Soto and
- 59:43Gabby Petito quote. People are grifting off this
- 59:47terrible and sad situation, said Alma Hernandez, an Arizona State
- 59:51representative. I I would go to.
- 59:54I would venture to say Alma pronounces his name or her name
- 59:59Hernandez, which would be awesome because that's the way
- 1:00:02it's pronounced anyway. An Arizona State representative
- 1:00:04whose district includes part of Tucson and who has followed the
- 1:00:07search closely, she has watched misinformation flourish and has
- 1:00:11seen content creators implicate innocent bystanders and tail
- 1:00:15police vehicles. Yeah, and the news media is
- 1:00:18doing that, too. It compromises everyone's safety
- 1:00:21and compromises the investigation itself, Miss
- 1:00:23Hernandez said. It's not helpful.
- 1:00:24Honestly, it's just creepy. I.
- 1:00:27Guys, part of what is being said here, Tiene Rosson, as they
- 1:00:34would say in Spanish, right, it has it, it's valid.
- 1:00:41However, also without it, I, I don't think this case would be
- 1:00:48will be solved without help from the public.
- 1:00:52I I just don't just finish this up.
- 1:00:56Is this Yeah, we're going to end up reading this whole thing.
- 1:00:58The sensationalizing of someone's darkest days also has
- 1:01:02a lasting impact on those around them, said Danielle C Slack,
- 1:01:05off, criminal justice professor at California State University,
- 1:01:08Sacramento, SAC State, my hometown, who has studied how
- 1:01:13media portrayals of true crime affect family and friends of the
- 1:01:15victim. Quote.
- 1:01:16It can leave their family feeling like their loved one
- 1:01:18didn't matter, that it's the graphic details people care
- 1:01:22about, not the real person at the center of the story, Miss
- 1:01:25Lakoff said. They didn't ask for this to
- 1:01:26happen. This isn't some mystery or game
- 1:01:28to them. This is their real life.
- 1:01:30And I agree with that. And that is why we work really
- 1:01:33hard to temper our speculation with humanity and with
- 1:01:40compassion. But it's it.
- 1:01:42It isn't for us the graphic details that we care about.
- 1:01:45It is the victim that we care about here.
- 1:01:48Those closest to Miss Guthrie have felt this acutely.
- 1:01:51Her children have not spoken publicly beyond social media
- 1:01:54videos pleading for help finding their mother.
- 1:01:57But Miss Guthrie's friends have said the online accusations have
- 1:02:00been painful to read. I'm sure they have.
- 1:02:02Chris Federer, who has known Miss Guthrie for nearly two
- 1:02:05decades, said she was relieved when the Sheriff's Department
- 1:02:07absolved the family. Thank God, she said, not because
- 1:02:11she had worried they were culpable, but because she hoped
- 1:02:13it would end the harassment Miss Guthrie's children and their
- 1:02:16spouses have endured. Let me pause for a moment on
- 1:02:18this one and just address this. Never on this channel, guys.
- 1:02:25We are better than this. We do not harass people.
- 1:02:28We do not lob accusations at them, Even people that we.
- 1:02:32Hold like like 2 of the people. That I just really, really have
- 1:02:39a hard time even finding an ounce of love within myself.
- 1:02:46Are Chris and Roberta Laundry I. Have a real hard.
- 1:02:51Time with their behavior during the the time that Gabby Petito
- 1:02:56was missing. I understand it on an
- 1:02:59intellectual level, but on a human level, Dang it guys, I
- 1:03:03have. I have a real hard time with
- 1:03:04those people. But I was.
- 1:03:05Still PIST that there were people harassing them, screaming
- 1:03:15at them, yelling obscenities at them because because none of
- 1:03:19that helps and it. Just it devolves into.
- 1:03:23It devolves into like a Lord of the Flies kind of situation, and
- 1:03:27we are better than that. So please, if, if you ever are
- 1:03:31tempted to do something like that, please please, please just
- 1:03:34remember Uncle Gavin, Uncle Gavin's.
- 1:03:36Plea to you. Oh, what are we going to do
- 1:03:39here, guys? Here we go.
- 1:03:41Here we we have an Uncle Gavin moment.
- 1:03:43Where? Where?
- 1:03:44Here we go. Listen
- 1:04:00OK kids, it's Uncle Gavin here. It is stupid to go about
- 1:04:08harassing people, tailing people, causing them to feel
- 1:04:12unsafe, shouting obscenities, or demonstrating certain salutes
- 1:04:20with one's hands. It is not.
- 1:04:23One, it doesn't help the situation at all.
- 1:04:26And two, it's that's just what idiots do.
- 1:04:28OK? Don't be an idiot.
- 1:04:31Don't be a dill hole. Yeah, don't be a dill.
- 1:04:39Hole, Just just be human, be compassionate, be a good person
- 1:04:47and your life will be happier. OK, this has been brought to you
- 1:04:51by Uncle Gavin. Let's continue with the article.
- 1:04:57Let's see. It hurts the family.
- 1:04:59Miss Federer said. As if all this isn't bad enough,
- 1:05:03why are we pull putting salt in on an open wound?
- 1:05:06She said she has been alarmed by the rampant theorizing from
- 1:05:09people with no connection to the case who know nothing about the
- 1:05:11family. OK, Nancy is a grandma, she's a
- 1:05:14friend to many, and this isn't helping things, Miss Federer
- 1:05:17said. Miss Guthrie's relatives and
- 1:05:19friends, she added, are real people with hearts and souls and
- 1:05:22are living through a freaking nightmare.
- 1:05:24A freaking nightmare. Another friend, Vicki Edwards,
- 1:05:28said the speculation has been agonizing.
- 1:05:31The unfounded commentary from true crime personalities and
- 1:05:33social media influencers only adds to that burden, Miss
- 1:05:37Edwards said in a text message. Of course, the irony here is
- 1:05:40that the Times had to reach out to them and bother them too in
- 1:05:43order to get these quotes. Quote.
- 1:05:45The noise continues to distract from what really matters,
- 1:05:48supporting one another and keeping the focus on Nancy's
- 1:05:50safe return. So with that, I just want to say
- 1:05:54kudos to you and hopefully to me for really working hard to just
- 1:06:02be interested and compassionate and, and for those of us who are
- 1:06:08prayerful, prayerful that Nancy will return.
- 1:06:13And that is the end of my diatribe.
- 1:06:16Let me hop in to what your comments are saying.
- 1:06:22Do do do do do do do do do do do.
- 1:06:25Thank you very much Pauline Knuckles for the Super chat.
- 1:06:30Awesome, deeply appreciate that. Prime numbers.
- 1:06:37Any news on the Google searches prior to the kidnapping?
- 1:06:39I did cover that a little bit thanks to a comment on the live
- 1:06:42stream. Nothing else that I can find.
- 1:06:49Broke, broke. Stacker, why would you put a
- 1:06:51bull's eye on Nancy Guthrie's face for your thumbnail?
- 1:06:53You're better than that. I did that as a visual
- 1:06:56representation that she was targeted.
- 1:06:58That's why I did that. And maybe I am better than that.
- 1:07:05Unbox life with Laurie. I agree.
- 1:07:07Gavin is keeping people engaged. It really is Philip Carter.
- 1:07:11CS says Philip Carter says yes. I know.
- 1:07:14I'm just educating the rest of the folks on that here.
- 1:07:17OK? Amy says that she agrees.
- 1:07:22Thank you very much. And Katie, please take the
- 1:07:25bullseye graphic off Nancy Guthrie.
- 1:07:27Insensitive. Maybe it is.
- 1:07:29I'll think about it. Thank you very much for that.
- 1:07:31And and you know. I appreciate you guys.
- 1:07:35Calling me out on stuff I do. I really do.
- 1:07:39OK, what time is it, man? It's a long one tonight.
- 1:07:43Let's move on to three questions.
- 1:07:44Here we go. How?
- 1:07:52OK in this segment guys, I answer 3 questions that are sent
- 1:07:56in to me by you to the e-mail address
- 1:07:59threequestions@gavinfish.com. It's spelled out three questions
- 1:08:03at gavinfish.com. I solemnly promise that I will
- 1:08:07answer all the questions that come in, not in the order in
- 1:08:10which they appear, but in the order that interests me the
- 1:08:13most. I've got like a little table
- 1:08:14that I'm that I'm going through and marking as answered when I
- 1:08:17answer them. But you can send in one
- 1:08:19question. You can send in 100 questions.
- 1:08:21I think I'm down to about maybe 10 questions left on my list.
- 1:08:25So if you have any questions that you want me to answer,
- 1:08:28could be about me personally, could be about a case, could be
- 1:08:31about a lot of different things. Please go ahead and send that
- 1:08:33into three questions at gavinfish.com.
- 1:08:36OK, first question of the night came in from Zoe.
- 1:08:39And why is it doing that? Let's drag this this way so it
- 1:08:43fits in there. That looks better.
- 1:08:45OK. How long do you think it would
- 1:08:47take for them to find who took Nancy?
- 1:08:50Do you think it will take more weeks, a few months or a few
- 1:08:53years? Well, I don't know what the
- 1:08:56statistics are on this. Zoe, I would love your opinion
- 1:08:59in the live chat and in the comments, especially those of
- 1:09:03you over on Spotify. Thank you for listening on
- 1:09:05Spotify. If you are a Spotify user,
- 1:09:08please consider following me there.
- 1:09:11There's a link down in the description below.
- 1:09:14It definitely helps the channel to have followers.
- 1:09:16It gets the, it gets the, it gets me out in front of more
- 1:09:20people and that really helps me and I appreciate it.
- 1:09:23How long? I don't have the statistics on
- 1:09:26this, but I think the more time passes, the lower the likelihood
- 1:09:31is that she's going to be found. I no, I don't want that to be
- 1:09:38the case. I want her to be found soon and
- 1:09:42safe. But So what do I think?
- 1:09:48Weeks, months, years, yes. I I just don't know.
- 1:09:52I just don't know. And our job is, I think the, the
- 1:09:58more eyeballs stay on this, the, the longer it stays in the
- 1:10:02zeitgeist, the, the greater the likelihood that we, that we will
- 1:10:07get a break in this case. So we're, we're doing our best
- 1:10:12to do that. But, but I, I hope it's ours,
- 1:10:17man, I hope it's soon. But I think statistically we're
- 1:10:23going to have a hard time finding her ever.
- 1:10:27It's so sad but. Let's keep hope, Let's keep
- 1:10:29hope. Alive question #2 and tell me
- 1:10:32your opinion in the in the chat. Have you ever been?
- 1:10:34Told you have a. Doppelganger.
- 1:10:36This came in from Amy and Amy sent in a photo of this supposed
- 1:10:41doppelganger. Now I will say this doppelganger
- 1:10:45was a slightly overweight fellow with Long.
- 1:10:48Hair and a beard, but it didn't didn't look like a doppelganger
- 1:10:53to me Plus. My mom always told me that I'm
- 1:10:58the handsomest boy in the world. So how could there be a
- 1:11:01doppelganger? And when I asked my wife, I
- 1:11:05asked her this very day, hey, was my mom lying to me?
- 1:11:07And my wife said, no, you are the handsomest boy.
- 1:11:11So I don't think that I have a doppelganger.
- 1:11:14And Amy, the one that you sent in, I don't even think is even
- 1:11:16close. But so, no, I've, I've never
- 1:11:22been told that and I'm, I still don't believe it.
- 1:11:25Now, if you find a doppelganger and I'm not just talking to Amy,
- 1:11:28anybody here, I would love to see it, send it in, see it, see
- 1:11:33if there is one out there. Thanks for the question, Amy.
- 1:11:38Last question, what are your thoughts about?
- 1:11:40The unaliving of Kurt Cobain in April 1994.
- 1:11:43I remember that very well. Yeah, I actually remember that
- 1:11:49very well. And I know that there is a lot
- 1:11:51of talk now there's speculation and we just had a long
- 1:11:56conversation about speculation. I, I don't, I don't buy into the
- 1:12:04speculation that that he was murdered.
- 1:12:09I think that it was a sad situation with, with mental
- 1:12:15illness or mental health, with a mental health crisis that he had
- 1:12:20everything to live for. And man, I in, in my opinion,
- 1:12:25chose, chose not to. And, and I'm saying that
- 1:12:30understanding that, understanding what how hard
- 1:12:33those feelings are to shake, how hard they are to break.
- 1:12:36And if anybody's having those feelings right now, I'm telling
- 1:12:40you, there is no shame in getting help.
- 1:12:45Get please get help. But that's that's what I think,
- 1:12:47Tricia, that and those are my thoughts.
- 1:12:49Now tell me what your answers are to the three questions of
- 1:12:53the night in the live chat and in the comments.
- 1:12:56And while you are doing that, let's go ahead and talk about
- 1:13:00some headlines. Here we go.
- 1:13:01True crime headlines. Okie Dokie looks like David, who
- 1:13:17is implicated in the death, let's say I think murder, but
- 1:13:24death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
- 1:13:29I have a picture of her here somewhere.
- 1:13:31Let's bring up Celeste. There she is, at least this
- 1:13:35headline from IB Times UK says. David's case update Grand jury
- 1:13:42twist requires rapper's family to cooperate in Celeste Rivas's
- 1:13:45Tesla death probe A Texas appeals court ruling has
- 1:13:49intensified the investigation into the death of 14 year old
- 1:13:52Celeste Rivas Hernandez, requiring members of the singer
- 1:13:55David's family to comply with grand jury subpoenas in
- 1:13:57California. The parents and brother of the
- 1:13:59artist known as David have been contesting LA County's grand
- 1:14:03jury supreme subpoenas with court records in Texas showing
- 1:14:06that they argue that their due process rights were being
- 1:14:08violated. The legal dispute centers on
- 1:14:11demands centers spelled in the British way, of course, that
- 1:14:15they testified before a California grand jury examining
- 1:14:18the death. On Monday, February 16th, 1st
- 1:14:21District Court of Appeals in Texas denied 3 habeas corpus
- 1:14:24petitions seeking to overturn a lower court order.
- 1:14:27So they must comply with those subpoenas.
- 1:14:29So we'll keep our eye on that. This from a couple of days ago,
- 1:14:33four days ago, the on Valentine's Day.
- 1:14:36So Saturday but I missed it somehow coming out of ABC7
- 1:14:40Chicago Cook County prosecutors at concealment of homicidal
- 1:14:44death false reporting charges against Adam Bakarink and the
- 1:14:48wife of in the death of his wife.
- 1:14:50This is Caitlin Tracy If you'll remember this case, we have
- 1:14:53covered this guy Peace O Workman Dateline Chicago telling new
- 1:15:00charges have been added to the case against Chicago tax
- 1:15:03attorney accused of murdering his wife Adam Bakarink, 47, is
- 1:15:06accused of killing 36 year old Caitlin Tracy in October of 2024
- 1:15:10by throwing her down a 29 story stairwell in the couple's high
- 1:15:15rise condo building in the South Loop.
- 1:15:17The I team analyzed the court filings that show a clearer
- 1:15:20picture of where the prosecution may be heading, including plans
- 1:15:23to seek a natural life sentence. Oh my goodness, that was an
- 1:15:30excellent sneeze. Sorry about that.
- 1:15:33Along with six murder charges, Cook County prosecutors have
- 1:15:36added multiple concealment of a homicidal death and false
- 1:15:39reporting charges against Backer Inc, who has been denied bond
- 1:15:43since his extradition to Illinois following a domestic DV
- 1:15:47sentence in Berrien County, Michigan.
- 1:15:50So that is what's happening in the Caitlin Tracy case.
- 1:15:53And then this one from a couple days ago from The Columbus
- 1:15:55Dispatch. This is from their editorial
- 1:16:00board. I think this is a terrific
- 1:16:01article. I don't think we'll read the
- 1:16:02whole thing, but a couple paragraphs.
- 1:16:05This is important. Headline says TEPI deaths show
- 1:16:09deadly cost of ignoring DV. The tragic deaths of Monique and
- 1:16:14Spencer TEPI highlight the dangers of DV and why preventing
- 1:16:17it and protecting and supporting survivors must be a community
- 1:16:21priority. Anything less is unacceptable if
- 1:16:24court records and statements from friends and family members
- 1:16:26are true. Michael McKee, an Illinois
- 1:16:28vascular surgeon, threatened, harassed and stalked Monique
- 1:16:31Tepe, his ex-wife, after their divorce was finalized in June
- 1:16:352017. And kudos to the editorial board
- 1:16:38for that caveat. That was just very well written.
- 1:16:41They're they're protecting themselves against lawsuit
- 1:16:43there. Rachel Lustig, president and CEO
- 1:16:46of Lutheran Social Services of Central Ohio, which includes LSS
- 1:16:49Choices for DV, said such disturbing behavior is far from
- 1:16:54unheard of. Quote, the biggest danger occurs
- 1:16:57immediately after the separation, but there's no
- 1:16:59magical time at which it ends and no magical amount of time in
- 1:17:03which healing occurs. She told us.
- 1:17:06Choices provides counseling, shelter, crisis intervention,
- 1:17:09education, and community and legal advocacy to Central Ohio
- 1:17:13residents facing DV. Let me, let me just, yeah, this
- 1:17:23is stuff that we that we covered about the case.
- 1:17:28OK? Lust when to seek help.
- 1:17:30Lustic said there are a variety of reasons why a victim may not
- 1:17:32reach out for help, including fear that doing so might make
- 1:17:35things worse or that the abuse isn't that bad.
- 1:17:38She encourages those being victimized to seek help from DV
- 1:17:41hotlines and or police. The hotline workers are trying
- 1:17:45to help you understand what is happening and plan for your own
- 1:17:47safety. Lestig said.
- 1:17:49You do not have to have an urgent immediate situation to
- 1:17:52call and get advice. That is important.
- 1:17:56Something that I don't think we talked about.
- 1:17:58It doesn't have to be in the moment of of an assault, for
- 1:18:02example, it can be in a calm moment, in a safe moment.
- 1:18:07You can call and get advice. Some people, she noted, may not
- 1:18:11realize that help exists or that what they're experiencing is
- 1:18:14DVA. Little more of half of
- 1:18:17respondents to a joint survey conducted by the Columbus City
- 1:18:20Attorney's Office, the Center for Family Safety and Healing at
- 1:18:23Nationwide Children's Hospital and the Battered Women's Project
- 1:18:27said they knew what community agencies to call for for help in
- 1:18:31DV situations. Just a little more than half
- 1:18:34more than 60% of respondents felt that DV was a big problem
- 1:18:38in Franklin County. So let's let's see how they
- 1:18:44conclude this listing says she knows the impact DV can have on
- 1:18:50children and her heart goes out to the Tepi children and all
- 1:18:54others who loved Monique and Spencer Tepi, a 37 year old
- 1:18:56dentist and 39 year old stay at home mom with a master's in
- 1:19:00early childhood education quote. I hope that we as a community
- 1:19:03can do what's right by this family by doing everything we
- 1:19:06can to combat DV in our community.
- 1:19:09She said. Domestic or DV is not a personal
- 1:19:13issue, it's a community issue. And boy is she right.
- 1:19:18And once again, my kudos to the editorial board of The Columbus
- 1:19:25Dispatch for publishing that. And those guys are your
- 1:19:30headlines. True crime headlines.
