Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie missing Tonight, Clash of the Titans,
- 0:06Speaker 1: a war between the gods. The FBI director Cash Betel
- 0:10Speaker 1: versus Pima Sheriff Nanos how badly has Nano's torpedo the
- 0:16Speaker 1: search for Nancy as we discover a vast area near
- 0:21Speaker 1: Nancy's home unsearched. Why sources reporting investigators shifting the hunt
- 0:28Speaker 1: to a gray van? Why and will solar powered cams
- 0:34Speaker 1: reveal more video? Good evening, I Nancy Grace, this is
- 0:38Speaker 1: crime Stories. I want to thank you for being with us.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Stalkers cannot help but write about the relationship with the
- 0:52Speaker 2: victim and the victims' families. This perpetrator had gleaned a
- 0:56Speaker 2: lot about Nancy Guthrie's life.
- 0:59Speaker 1: The likely has a criminal history.
- 1:01Speaker 3: I got frustrated because I knew from my sources they
- 1:06Speaker 3: were trying to keep you guys out.
- 1:08Speaker 4: They did, they did keep you out.
- 1:11Speaker 3: And look, here's my matter is in an investigation, the
- 1:14Speaker 3: first forty.
- 1:14Speaker 5: Eight hours of anyone's disappearance are the most critical. And
- 1:17Speaker 5: here's how these cases works. It is a state matter.
- 1:19Speaker 5: It's a state and local law enforcement matter. What we
- 1:21Speaker 5: the FBI do is say hey, we're here to help.
- 1:23Speaker 6: What do you need? What can we do?
- 1:25Speaker 5: And for four days we were kept out of the investigation.
- 1:28Speaker 5: And when we were finally let in, Sean.
- 1:30Speaker 6: Look what we did.
- 1:31Speaker 5: We went in and got the ring doorbell and we said, hey,
- 1:35Speaker 5: is anyone talking to Google? I called the leadership at
- 1:38Speaker 5: Google and I said, look, we know that there was
- 1:40Speaker 5: not a subscription service to capture all of the data
- 1:44Speaker 5: that would have been captured had there been a subscription service,
- 1:47Speaker 5: but can we go into the cash? Can we go
- 1:49Speaker 5: into the data before it's deleted and see what we
- 1:52Speaker 5: can find. That's why you have that image because the
- 1:54Speaker 5: FBI worked with Google to put that image out.
- 1:57Speaker 6: Another thing we asked to.
- 1:58Speaker 3: Do you guys got that tape, which was the biggest
- 2:00Speaker 3: breakthrough during that case.
- 2:01Speaker 6: We could have gotten it days before.
- 2:04Speaker 7: Now.
- 2:04Speaker 3: The People County Sheriff Today responded to Cash's comments on
- 2:07Speaker 3: our podcast, saying the Sheriff's department did immediately start coordinating
- 2:11Speaker 3: with the bureau, not buying it.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Nice tribe that from our friend Sean Hannity at Fox
- 2:19Speaker 1: News and on his podcast Hanging Out with Sean Hannity,
- 2:23Speaker 1: where he has an incredible interview with Cash Patel, and
- 2:27Speaker 1: I learned a lot straight out to Allison Weiner joining
- 2:32Speaker 1: US senior investigative reporter, author of a brand new book,
- 2:37Speaker 1: Murder in the Media. Hey, New York Control Room, let's
- 2:41Speaker 1: see that book, Murder in the Media. That's going to
- 2:44Speaker 1: be a best seller. Alison, thank you for being with us.
- 2:47Speaker 1: I want to follow up on what Cash Patel thank
- 2:50Speaker 1: was saying. It's stunning. We also learn he has a
- 2:57Speaker 1: plane on standby. But let's take one thing at a time.
- 3:02Speaker 1: What do you make of it.
- 3:05Speaker 4: I'm not buying it either. We were there.
- 3:07Speaker 8: I was there with Brian Anton and we were in
- 3:10Speaker 8: Arizona for in Tucson for almost two months, and in
- 3:13Speaker 8: the early days of that investigation, there was no FBI.
- 3:18Speaker 8: He had that scene with just the sheriffs for four days.
- 3:21Speaker 8: It wasn't until the fifth day when the FBI came in. Furthermore,
- 3:26Speaker 8: in those first four days, in one of those days,
- 3:30Speaker 8: they thought it was just a walk away and that
- 3:32Speaker 8: she had just gone meandering, despite the family saying that
- 3:36Speaker 8: she didn't have cognitive issues and was not ambulatory. So
- 3:40Speaker 8: I have to say that all the crime scene collection
- 3:43Speaker 8: in those first four days, whatever they were doing before
- 3:45Speaker 8: they released the crime scene. They released the crime scene
- 3:48Speaker 8: before the FBI got in even we.
- 3:50Speaker 5: Have Quantico best live in the world. I had a
- 3:53Speaker 5: fixed wing aircraft on the ground ready to move it
- 3:55Speaker 5: immediately through the night.
- 3:56Speaker 4: Did they just say no?
- 3:57Speaker 6: And they said we're sending it to Florida?
- 3:59Speaker 1: Amazing? Amazing. I don't know whether to cry, laugh or
- 4:06Speaker 1: go take all the air out of Nanos's tires. I'm
- 4:09Speaker 1: not sure which way I should go. That's from our
- 4:12Speaker 1: friend Sean Hannity and his new podcast, hang Out with
- 4:15Speaker 1: Sean Hannity. Let me understand what I'm hearing, Allison Cash
- 4:21Speaker 1: Battel had a fixed wing aircraft on standby, ready to
- 4:27Speaker 1: take DNA taken from Missus Guthrie's home to Quantico to
- 4:36Speaker 1: arguably the best lab in the world, and they were
- 4:40Speaker 1: turned down. Did I hear that correctly, Allison.
- 4:44Speaker 4: I don't think they were even turned down.
- 4:45Speaker 8: I think they didn't tell them that they had taken
- 4:47Speaker 8: it to their own private lab until after the fact.
- 4:50Speaker 4: And the private lab is in Florida. It's a good lab.
- 4:53Speaker 8: But the basic fact is is that the FBI lab
- 4:58Speaker 8: is free and one of the best in the world.
- 5:01Speaker 8: So I'm not quite sure about that, but actually, Nancy,
- 5:04Speaker 8: there's even more. We learned that HRT, the hostage Rescue
- 5:09Speaker 8: team from Quantico, had flown in and was waiting at
- 5:12Speaker 8: the Air Force and when they did that run to
- 5:15Speaker 8: Rio Rico, the SWAT team went to Rio Rico to
- 5:19Speaker 8: look into a suspect there or potential suspect. They did
- 5:23Speaker 8: not They got there and they went there the Sheriff's team,
- 5:26Speaker 8: SWAT team, local team without even racing there before the
- 5:30Speaker 8: HRT could get there, even though they were on standby
- 5:33Speaker 8: as well. Some of the best guys and ladies in
- 5:36Speaker 8: the business.
- 5:37Speaker 1: You're not kidding, Allison wyn are joining us, Brandy, but
- 5:40Speaker 1: murder in the media. Okay, let's hear this one more time.
- 5:43Speaker 1: I want to hear specifically what Patel says.
- 5:46Speaker 5: We have Quantico best live in the world. I had
- 5:49Speaker 5: a fixed wing aircraft on the ground ready to move
- 5:51Speaker 5: it immediately through the night. Did they just say no,
- 5:53Speaker 5: and they said we're sending it to Florida.
- 5:55Speaker 1: They just said we're sending it to Florida from our
- 5:58Speaker 1: friend Sean Hannon. Hang out with Sean Hannity joining me now.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Joseph Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics Jacksonville State University, author of
- 6:09Speaker 1: Blood Beneath My Feet on Amazon, star of a hit
- 6:12Speaker 1: podcast series Body Bags with Joseph Scott Morgan. But for
- 6:15Speaker 1: our purposes, he is a death investigator that has been
- 6:19Speaker 1: to over ten thousand death scenes, and he's not just
- 6:25Speaker 1: a talking head that blathers on and on with no experience.
- 6:29Speaker 1: In fact, I first met him in a heated argument
- 6:32Speaker 1: when he was with the Fulton County Medical Lexander's office,
- 6:35Speaker 1: because I needed evidence then and it wasn't ready through
- 6:40Speaker 1: no fault of his, I might add, that's how I
- 6:43Speaker 1: met Joe Scott Morgan. Joe Scott, did you hear what
- 6:47Speaker 1: Patel said? And I agree with Hannity, I'm not buying it.
- 6:52Speaker 1: Every turn, at every turn, the FEDS are being thwarted,
- 6:57Speaker 1: and what does that mean. I don't care about some
- 7:00Speaker 1: heurf battle. I care about finding Nancy Guthrie. And tonight
- 7:04Speaker 1: we're learning more and more about how Nanos. Let me
- 7:07Speaker 1: just say technical legal phrase, screwed the pooch left right,
- 7:12Speaker 1: No matter what he was offered, he said, no, what
- 7:16Speaker 1: difference has it made that the Feds were not allowed
- 7:20Speaker 1: in and they did not take access of that fixed
- 7:23Speaker 1: wing aircraft to get the DNA sent immediately. That from
- 7:28Speaker 1: our friends at News twelve.
- 7:31Speaker 9: Let's preach a little bit, Nancy, Pride cometh before the fall.
- 7:36Speaker 9: And that's what this is all about. And it's so
- 7:39Speaker 9: critical in these moments when you can avail yourself of
- 7:43Speaker 9: the services of the FEDS. You know, their abilities to
- 7:49Speaker 9: what they can do are almost limitless. Think about how
- 7:53Speaker 9: much money we dump into an organization like the FBI,
- 7:58Speaker 9: and what Patel was saying relative to Quantico, it's what
- 8:02Speaker 9: everybody else, you know, shoots for in the area of
- 8:06Speaker 9: forensic science, relative to have those those assets at your disposal.
- 8:12Speaker 9: And for whatever reason, for whatever reason, they did not
- 8:16Speaker 9: want to avail themselves of these opportunities. And you know
- 8:20Speaker 9: the thing about it, Nancy, And you know a lot
- 8:21Speaker 9: about chain of evidence, right, the more hands evidence passes through, okay,
- 8:29Speaker 9: it becomes degraded, not just in the physical sense, you
- 8:32Speaker 9: know when you think about that the sample, for instance,
- 8:34Speaker 9: if you're talking about DNA, because it's very very fragile,
- 8:38Speaker 9: but also from the chain of custody or the chain
- 8:42Speaker 9: of evidence relative to how many hands is it passing
- 8:45Speaker 9: through before it's processed. Those little markers along the way
- 8:48Speaker 9: kind of dictate the validity of whatever you're in game.
- 8:52Speaker 9: Is my biggest question about this case relative to dna IS.
- 8:58Speaker 9: Was it ever compromised a lot the way you know
- 9:01Speaker 9: when you send it to Florida, right, and it's not
- 9:05Speaker 9: in the same chain that the FBI uses, and I
- 9:09Speaker 9: know that they avail themselves of other services like authoram,
- 9:15Speaker 9: you run the risk of really having a problem here.
- 9:18Speaker 9: So you know, looking back, and anybody can Monday morning
- 9:21Speaker 9: quarterback it. But this isn't Monday morning, Nancy. The game
- 9:26Speaker 9: is still on at this point in time. We have
- 9:29Speaker 9: not seen any evidence of missus Guthrie at this point.
- 9:33Speaker 9: And this is critical. This is not like this thing's
- 9:35Speaker 9: been adjudicated and we're sitting over coffee and we're talking
- 9:38Speaker 9: about it or whatever the case.
- 9:39Speaker 1: Just let me understand what you're saying. You're saying that
- 9:44Speaker 1: the delay may have cost Let's just be blunt. The
- 9:48Speaker 1: delay may have cost Nancy Guthrie her life delay, delay, delay.
- 9:55Speaker 1: How long was she alive? She could still be alive,
- 9:58Speaker 1: and I pray, pray for a happy reunion for our
- 10:02Speaker 1: friend Savannah Guthrie. But delay, delayed, delay, that's what happened.
- 10:07Speaker 1: And it could have cost her her life.
- 10:10Speaker 9: Yeah, you're absolutely right, because they didn't hop on this.
- 10:13Speaker 9: The other thing that they didn't hop on it. To
- 10:15Speaker 9: Allison's point earlier about the security of the scene, if
- 10:19Speaker 9: they had secured this thing from Jump Street, Nancy, Okay, no,
- 10:24Speaker 9: no piece of deliveries, no pool boys, all that nonsense.
- 10:30Speaker 9: If they had secured it, they would have gotten to
- 10:32Speaker 9: this cloud earlier that contains this information and it could
- 10:36Speaker 9: have gotten into the hands of people. And again, I
- 10:39Speaker 9: don't want to beat this drum over and over again,
- 10:42Speaker 9: but when we see those tiles there, they could have
- 10:45Speaker 9: done electrostatic lifts unless that we actually see where this
- 10:48Speaker 9: guy is putting his feet in this image right here.
- 10:50Speaker 9: If they had frozen that scene, you could have done
- 10:53Speaker 9: shoe lifts off of that. That's gone. That's gone like
- 10:56Speaker 9: a vapor.
- 10:57Speaker 1: Usually Alison Weiner, joining US investigative senior reporter News Nation,
- 11:02Speaker 1: author of new book Murder in the Media. Allison normally,
- 11:07Speaker 1: when prosecuting a case, putting together a case, discussing a case,
- 11:11Speaker 1: analyzing a case, I rarely go in to could a
- 11:15Speaker 1: should have would, because frankly, it's a waste of time.
- 11:20Speaker 1: You need to keep moving forward. Because every minute you delay,
- 11:25Speaker 1: you're losing the possibility of preserving evidence, or finding a witness,
- 11:30Speaker 1: or finding Nancy Guthrie. But I think it's worth noting
- 11:34Speaker 1: how badly this torpedo the case in a nutshell. Everything
- 11:39Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan said was true, but simply put the
- 11:44Speaker 1: delay in the DNA. I mean, look, we still don't
- 11:48Speaker 1: even have it. We still don't have it because of
- 11:51Speaker 1: the delay caused by nanos. Who knows what a positive
- 11:56Speaker 1: match could have meant in saving the life of Nancy
- 12:00Speaker 1: Guthrie or finding her Allison.
- 12:04Speaker 8: It's really you know, at first, we tried not to
- 12:07Speaker 8: focus on the sheriff because we really wanted to focus
- 12:09Speaker 8: on Nancy Guthrie.
- 12:10Speaker 4: But he was just too.
- 12:13Speaker 8: Reckless of a presence to ignore because he was providing
- 12:17Speaker 8: even the media with conflicting information about timelines about you know,
- 12:21Speaker 8: oh yeah, my bad, I opened up the scene too soon.
- 12:25Speaker 8: I wouldn't do that again. He there was an opportunity
- 12:29Speaker 8: for BI to come right in there and do evidence collection,
- 12:32Speaker 8: which is also you know, what they know how to do. Instead,
- 12:36Speaker 8: he had inexperienced homicide investigators there, including the sergeant who
- 12:40Speaker 8: reportedly we've reported did not have from an insider inside
- 12:44Speaker 8: of the investigation, did not have any experience investigating a homicide.
- 12:50Speaker 8: So we have these guys in the Sheriff's office giving
- 12:55Speaker 8: conflicting information to the public.
- 12:57Speaker 4: They don't know for weeks that they should be.
- 12:59Speaker 8: Looking at all January preserve information on their ring camps
- 13:03Speaker 8: because that wasn't also given.
- 13:06Speaker 4: Out as information to the public.
- 13:08Speaker 8: So I think, I don't know what should have could
- 13:11Speaker 8: have happened, But I do know that the sheriff has
- 13:14Speaker 8: a longstanding animosity towards the FBI, and that became apparent
- 13:18Speaker 8: in terms of access what he told and what he
- 13:21Speaker 8: didn't tell. And I think to the detriment of the
- 13:24Speaker 8: Guthrie family and finding Nancy Guthrie.
- 13:26Speaker 5: I launched hundreds of agents and intel staff to Phoenix
- 13:29Speaker 5: and Tucson just for this case, just to be on stand.
- 13:32Speaker 5: They didn't want just to do the canvassing, and we
- 13:34Speaker 5: said we'll take the DNA.
- 13:36Speaker 1: From our friends at Fox. That Sean Hannity's new podcast,
- 13:38Speaker 1: hang Out with Sean Hannity. Another thing to Brian Fitzgibbons guys.
- 13:44Speaker 1: Fitzgibbons is director of Operations USPA Nationwide Security. He leads
- 13:50Speaker 1: a team of expert investigators around the world. He leads
- 13:54Speaker 1: them finding and extracting missing people. Specifically, I'd like to
- 13:59Speaker 1: point out often from Mexico, which may come into play here.
- 14:04Speaker 1: He is a former marine and an Iraqi war vette,
- 14:08Speaker 1: and I think that says it all. Brian Is Gibbons,
- 14:11Speaker 1: thank you for being with us tonight. Did you just
- 14:13Speaker 1: hear Patel state I and I'm reading it verbatim. I
- 14:17Speaker 1: launched hundreds of agents and intel staffed to Phoenix and
- 14:19Speaker 1: Tucson just for this case. And it's just to do
- 14:23Speaker 1: the canvassing. And we said, look, we'll take the DNA,
- 14:26Speaker 1: we'll start canvassing. Brian, A delay is a defendant's best friend.
- 14:35Speaker 1: The canvassing needed to happen then, immediately, and not just
- 14:39Speaker 1: the two next door neighbors, all around the neighborhood getting
- 14:43Speaker 1: video that maybe has now been overridden questioning people about
- 14:48Speaker 1: the night before, like can you tell me what noises
- 14:52Speaker 1: you heard a week ago in the middle of the night,
- 14:55Speaker 1: because I can't if you asked me about last night, yes,
- 14:58Speaker 1: I can tell you the the dog started barking at
- 15:01Speaker 1: precisely four am. But if you ask me a week
- 15:04Speaker 1: from now, I'm not going to know that anymore, All
- 15:08Speaker 1: those agents on standby to find a missing person gone,
- 15:13Speaker 1: all that evidence gone, Brian, and.
- 15:18Speaker 10: These issues Nancy with the DNA or the tip of
- 15:21Speaker 10: the iceberg, Because here's the deal. This is where my
- 15:24Speaker 10: mind went almost immediately if that was the level of
- 15:28Speaker 10: collaboration or the lack thereof how much work was duplicated
- 15:33Speaker 10: when the FBI did actually enter the scene five days later, right,
- 15:38Speaker 10: And what I mean by that is how much of
- 15:40Speaker 10: this canvassing had already been done by Pema County. How
- 15:43Speaker 10: much information was being shared between the agents from PMA
- 15:47Speaker 10: County on the ground doing the investigation with the federal
- 15:50Speaker 10: law enforcement agents, how much was done twice? How much
- 15:54Speaker 10: time was wasted in those early days. And you're talking
- 15:57Speaker 10: days five through ten, right when the FBI first entered
- 16:01Speaker 10: the scene. So you know, this statement from Patel is
- 16:06Speaker 10: very concerning.
- 16:07Speaker 1: And you know, so far Paatel has kept quiet until
- 16:11Speaker 1: Handy got him to speak out and tell what he knows.
- 16:15Speaker 1: But you know, I want you to hear this because
- 16:19Speaker 1: the faster you can get on the ground and start looking,
- 16:22Speaker 1: the more likely you're going to solve the case. And
- 16:25Speaker 1: at first, at the very beginning, this was treated as
- 16:29Speaker 1: if Nancy Guthry had just wandered off and must have
- 16:32Speaker 1: fallen in a ditch. What a load of hot, stinking,
- 16:36Speaker 1: steaming bs. Now listen to this, Misgibbons.
- 16:39Speaker 5: It is a state matter. It's a state and local
- 16:41Speaker 5: law enforcement matter. What we the FBI do is say, hey,
- 16:44Speaker 5: we're here to help.
- 16:45Speaker 6: What do you need? What can we do? And for
- 16:47Speaker 6: four days we were kept out of the investigation.
- 16:49Speaker 1: Four days, four days from our friend Sean Hannity at
- 16:55Speaker 1: hang Out with Sean Handy his podcast four days. Brian,
- 16:59Speaker 1: you can't get that, as I always say, like when
- 17:01Speaker 1: you got a missing child, every hour sixty mph at best,
- 17:06Speaker 1: they're getting further and further and further away. In this case,
- 17:09Speaker 1: same thing, Nancy Cutry getting further and further and further away,
- 17:14Speaker 1: while Nanos has his thumb up, as you know what.
- 17:17Speaker 10: For p Ma County to not have the agility to
- 17:22Speaker 10: plan for bringing in these federal resources quickly on a
- 17:26Speaker 10: high profile case like this, it just speaks to the
- 17:29Speaker 10: political nature of the decision that Nanos made, that this
- 17:32Speaker 10: is a long standing beef with the FBI and that
- 17:36Speaker 10: he you know, Joe Scott Morgan said it best pride
- 17:39Speaker 10: cometh before the fall, and this is a decision born
- 17:42Speaker 10: out of pride that he wanted to be the one
- 17:45Speaker 10: to solve this case.
- 17:50Speaker 5: The FBI worked with Google to put that image out.
- 17:52Speaker 5: Another thing we asked to do.
- 17:53Speaker 3: Guys, got that tape, which was the biggest breakthrough during
- 17:57Speaker 3: that case.
- 17:57Speaker 5: We could have gotten a days before. We could have
- 17:58Speaker 5: also maybe gotten more data.
- 18:02Speaker 1: Again from hanging out with Sean Hannity the Google tape. Oh,
- 18:07Speaker 1: Joe Scott Morgan, Professor Forensics, Can I tell you how
- 18:12Speaker 1: valuable that video is. Let's see the porch, guys, if
- 18:16Speaker 1: we haven't seen it before, and not just the day
- 18:20Speaker 1: of that's let's say, yes, he's got the gun on
- 18:24Speaker 1: right there. That is the night Nancy was stolen in
- 18:27Speaker 1: the middle of the night. What if you woke up
- 18:31Speaker 1: to see that in your face? I mean, and then
- 18:35Speaker 1: you know they hit her. You know, that's why she's
- 18:38Speaker 1: bleeding on the front porch. Was she screaming? Was she
- 18:41Speaker 1: crying out? And they hit her? I think they hit
- 18:45Speaker 1: her in the face. This eighty four year old woman.
- 18:49Speaker 1: Joe Scott, you met my mom. If someone hit her
- 18:52Speaker 1: in the face, it might just kill her. For Pete's sake,
- 18:55Speaker 1: But all those days, and not only did he managed
- 19:00Speaker 1: to get Google to dig that up like Lazarus rising
- 19:03Speaker 1: from the grave, but then the other video that you
- 19:06Speaker 1: and I went round and around and around chasing our tails,
- 19:09Speaker 1: why doesn't he have a gun on in this video?
- 19:12Speaker 1: I got into it with Dave Mack, our investigator from
- 19:15Speaker 1: Crime Stories who's joining us tonight, who dared to suggest
- 19:18Speaker 1: to me that the other ports video, which we now
- 19:22Speaker 1: know is from an earlier date, was the perhaps twin
- 19:25Speaker 1: the same night, and that they were dressed to like uh.
- 19:30Speaker 1: That said, that's the biggest break so far. Hennity's right,
- 19:35Speaker 1: and they sat on it. If it hadn't been for Bettel,
- 19:38Speaker 1: we wouldn't even have that.
- 19:40Speaker 9: Imagine all of the homicides that you have not just
- 19:45Speaker 9: covered on the air, but the ones that you prosecuted. Nancy,
- 19:49Speaker 9: think about that just for a second. How much would
- 19:52Speaker 9: you have loved to have had an image, a moving
- 19:56Speaker 9: image of a perpetrator like this kind of froze and
- 20:00Speaker 9: in time that moment captured. How many cases have there
- 20:04Speaker 9: been over the years where we had nothing, buckus, there
- 20:08Speaker 9: was nothing out there to literally hang our hat on.
- 20:11Speaker 9: Here you have an individual approaching, and there's so many
- 20:15Speaker 9: There are so many things about this image, everything from
- 20:19Speaker 9: gate to clothing that have forensic value. Timing all of
- 20:24Speaker 9: these issues, and not to mention the presentation of this weapon, which,
- 20:29Speaker 9: by the way we've talked about this is in no
- 20:32Speaker 9: way common somebody would wear, presenting in this format a
- 20:38Speaker 9: weapon like this. What's the purpose of it? Was it
- 20:41Speaker 9: for intimidation? Was it for what they perceived as easy access?
- 20:45Speaker 9: I have no idea. Was perhaps she struck with that weapon?
- 20:49Speaker 9: Was she what's called buffaloing, you know, where you strike
- 20:52Speaker 9: somebody in the face with a weapon like that. I
- 20:55Speaker 9: don't know. I know that looking at the blood that
- 20:59Speaker 9: was out there there, I see expert there, not aspir it,
- 21:02Speaker 9: it's expert. Where you have blood that is being coming
- 21:06Speaker 9: out of the nasopharynx area where somebody's blowing out coming
- 21:10Speaker 9: from their nose the mouth, and then you have those free,
- 21:13Speaker 9: frawling drops right there. Do you realize I'm not saying
- 21:16Speaker 9: this necessarily to you, but do people realize how fragile
- 21:19Speaker 9: that evidence is? The mat that was not collected? You know,
- 21:22Speaker 9: for all of that blood that you see right there
- 21:25Speaker 9: that's deposited on those tiles, do you realize how much
- 21:28Speaker 9: evidence would have been on that black mat itself. I
- 21:33Speaker 9: don't know. We'll never know, right because it's been compromised
- 21:36Speaker 9: at this point in time. And that's the that's one
- 21:39Speaker 9: of the real tragedies about this.
- 21:43Speaker 1: It's past the porch and actually goes down the front walk.
- 21:47Speaker 1: This is for my friends at Fox News Digital. We
- 21:53Speaker 1: know that Nancy Guthrie was struck in the face based
- 21:58Speaker 1: on this evidence and what the blood evidence reveals. Its
- 22:02Speaker 1: aspirit aspirct is when you aspirate, you breathe out blood. Also,
- 22:08Speaker 1: it appears to be in a satellite positioning. You get
- 22:14Speaker 1: a close up on that, please and what that means
- 22:17Speaker 1: is she's standing still long enough to have one blood
- 22:21Speaker 1: drop and then blood drops around that without her see
- 22:26Speaker 1: those at the front, right and behind it. She's likely
- 22:30Speaker 1: standing there and dripping blood down. That's a satellite what
- 22:35Speaker 1: we call a satellite pattern. All this said, the delay
- 22:42Speaker 1: may have cost Nancy Guthrie her life. Back to Alison
- 22:47Speaker 1: Weiner joining a senior investigator, reporter, author of a new book,
- 22:50Speaker 1: Murder in the Media, it seems as if focus is
- 22:54Speaker 1: shifting to the hunt of a gray van. Do you know, Allison.
- 23:02Speaker 8: Well I've heard that, but they haven't seemed to be
- 23:07Speaker 8: able to pick up that van past that little bit
- 23:10Speaker 8: of video that we had. I will tell you in
- 23:13Speaker 8: terms of searching that area, that the only search we
- 23:19Speaker 8: saw that area was in the couple of days following
- 23:21Speaker 8: Nancy's abduction, and it was some helicopters, but it was
- 23:24Speaker 8: basically around the home and just in a very small area.
- 23:30Speaker 4: There's a lot of ways.
- 23:31Speaker 8: In and out of the Catalina Foothills, and that search
- 23:34Speaker 8: didn't encompass that. It didn't also encompass the nearby desert,
- 23:39Speaker 8: which has a road straight to Mexico. I actually went
- 23:42Speaker 8: out there with a former SWAT official, and I have
- 23:47Speaker 8: to say that they didn't really get a chance to
- 23:53Speaker 8: look at that freshly in the first couple of days either.
- 23:57Speaker 8: And finally, going back to the point of how many
- 24:00Speaker 8: agents the FBI had provided, there were about six hundred
- 24:06Speaker 8: I think of PMA County officers available in hundreds and
- 24:11Speaker 8: thousands of FBI agents that were sent and they were
- 24:14Speaker 8: not used. It's crazy.
- 24:20Speaker 1: In early February, neighbors reported a suspicious van in the
- 24:25Speaker 1: area just before Nancy Guthrie went missing. A separate, distinct
- 24:30Speaker 1: gray silver range rover was then towed after a traffic
- 24:36Speaker 1: stop indicating a distinct interest in a gray van or suv.
- 24:44Speaker 1: There was an investigation focused by p mccounty on analyzing
- 24:49Speaker 1: footage and neighbors were actually asked about the existence of
- 24:53Speaker 1: a gray van. Now this video is from our friend
- 24:57Speaker 1: Crystal's crime Board. Karen's joining US forensic psychologist, renowned TV
- 25:03Speaker 1: and radio trauma expert and consultant at Karenstark dot com. Karen,
- 25:08Speaker 1: there's more to come, but I wanted you to hear
- 25:12Speaker 1: some of the evidence that has been delayed or even
- 25:17Speaker 1: lost because of Nanos's refusal to let the FEDS step in.
- 25:23Speaker 11: It's somebody who believes that he can do this himself,
- 25:27Speaker 11: no matter what's available to him. Took a chance. He
- 25:30Speaker 11: actually took a chance with somebody's life because he had
- 25:34Speaker 11: approved this point that he could do it, because he
- 25:37Speaker 11: was upset with the FBI, and it's playing out in
- 25:42Speaker 11: front of everybody. How ridiculous and mean and scary it
- 25:47Speaker 11: is that he did not take action and get all
- 25:50Speaker 11: the help available to him so that this woman could
- 25:54Speaker 11: possibly be found as quickly as possible. They always talk
- 25:58Speaker 11: about the first forty eight hours where was he How
- 26:02Speaker 11: could he not pay attention to that because of his
- 26:05Speaker 11: own self interest? And that's exactly what happened.
- 26:10Speaker 1: Straight out to Dave matt and joining US Crime Stories
- 26:12Speaker 1: investigative reporter, Dave, what can you tell me about a
- 26:17Speaker 1: huge swath of land near Nancy Guthrie's home that has
- 26:21Speaker 1: not been searched.
- 26:22Speaker 12: This is an area that we're talking a mile to
- 26:25Speaker 12: a mile and a half away from Nancy Guthrie's home.
- 26:29Speaker 12: It is an area that is fenced off because it
- 26:33Speaker 12: is a water processing facility. Okay, it's called the Tucson
- 26:39Speaker 12: Water Municipal Property.
- 26:41Speaker 7: Totally gated.
- 26:42Speaker 12: You can't go in, Civilians enter, it's a felony.
- 26:46Speaker 9: But Nancy.
- 26:47Speaker 12: Six days after Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped, on February seventh,
- 26:53Speaker 12: NASA's firmed satellite, this FRMS. It is a free inftion
- 27:01Speaker 12: for Resource Management System.
- 27:03Speaker 7: All right.
- 27:03Speaker 12: This is some satellite that actually maps platforms, providing real
- 27:10Speaker 12: time imagery of heat signatures hot spot data, in particular
- 27:15Speaker 12: in areas like the Tucson Water Municipal property. At ten
- 27:20Speaker 12: fifty seven ten fifty eight am on February seventh, NASA's
- 27:25Speaker 12: firm satellite picked up a clear, high confidence daytime heat
- 27:30Speaker 12: signature at a very precise coordinate on the Tucson Water
- 27:35Speaker 12: Municipal property, again a mile from Nancy's home. The area
- 27:39Speaker 12: is gated and locked. But Nancy, the area where this
- 27:42Speaker 12: heat signature came from is at the top of a
- 27:45Speaker 12: hill leading down to an arroyo that has shrub brush,
- 27:51Speaker 12: small trees and things like that. But the heat signature
- 27:54Speaker 12: was there, not near the municipal pipe pipes for water
- 27:59Speaker 12: and everything else. I'm talking in a land area that
- 28:02Speaker 12: is going uphill, dirt, trees, things like that, or shrugs.
- 28:07Speaker 12: Rather so this heat signature Nancy on February seventh was
- 28:10Speaker 12: out of the ordinary, not something that normally happens, and
- 28:15Speaker 12: it hasn't been searched. This is a mile from Nancy
- 28:18Speaker 12: Guthrie's home. A heat signature at ten point fifty seven
- 28:21Speaker 12: in the morning, and nobody searched to find out what
- 28:26Speaker 12: it was.
- 28:27Speaker 1: Straight out to Joseph Scott Morgan, joining US Professor forensics
- 28:30Speaker 1: and death investigator, explain the impact of what Dave Mack
- 28:36Speaker 1: has just reported.
- 28:38Speaker 9: Imagine grains of sand, you know, that are falling with
- 28:41Speaker 9: every moment You're losing valuable Tom here guess what. That
- 28:47Speaker 9: heat signature doesn't exist anymore. It's gone at this moment, Tom,
- 28:53Speaker 9: and any trail that might lead to some kind of
- 28:56Speaker 9: information that would be critical relative to the status of
- 29:01Speaker 9: Missus Guthrie, that trail has gone cold at this point
- 29:04Speaker 9: in time. So that leaves us wondering what in the world,
- 29:07Speaker 9: what in the world would we do? Uh, you know,
- 29:11Speaker 9: as far as seeking her out now, because that that
- 29:14Speaker 9: is precious time and this this case, Nancy all hinges
- 29:18Speaker 9: on Tom, doesn't it response? Tom's uh, you know, it
- 29:22Speaker 9: seems like that the people involved in this from Jump
- 29:26Speaker 9: Street have a bit of disorganization and let's face it, lethargy. Uh,
- 29:31Speaker 9: they didn't prioritize this case the way that they should have.
- 29:35Speaker 9: And for me, you know, when I'm analyzing this, they're
- 29:39Speaker 9: not They have not prioritized Missus Guthries uh missing status.
- 29:45Speaker 9: Really wonder how this plays into other cases, uh, with
- 29:49Speaker 9: not so elevated persons. Let's say, for instance, in this jurisdiction,
- 29:54Speaker 9: you know who who who else? You know who else
- 29:57Speaker 9: is out there that's suffering. There have missed family members
- 30:01Speaker 9: or crimes that have gone unsolved. And you look back
- 30:04Speaker 9: at this right here, and this is a glaring example
- 30:07Speaker 9: of problems. I'm just hoping that they're going to be
- 30:10Speaker 9: able to address these problems. I'm not really really hopeful.
- 30:15Speaker 9: I got to tell you, Nancy about miss Guthrie's status
- 30:19Speaker 9: right now, and that lies that lies at the feet
- 30:22Speaker 9: of those that are in charge of an investigation.
- 30:25Speaker 1: Nancy, that from our friends at News twelve Dave Matt
- 30:29Speaker 1: explain to me where exactly that heat signature was.
- 30:35Speaker 12: It was in the in the Tucson Municipal water cordoned
- 30:39Speaker 12: off area about a mile mile and a half from
- 30:42Speaker 12: Nancy Guthrie's home. I mentioned, Nancy that this is a
- 30:45Speaker 12: very large area, a huge as you've called it, a
- 30:49Speaker 12: huge swath of land that is cordoned off. It is gated,
- 30:53Speaker 12: it's locked. Barbari are at the top and those civilians
- 30:56Speaker 12: are allowed in. But this is only a mile mile
- 30:59Speaker 12: and a half from Nancy Guthries' home, six days after
- 31:04Speaker 12: she has stolen in the middle of the night, a
- 31:06Speaker 12: heat signature exact position.
- 31:09Speaker 1: You know, I'm curious, you know, Joe Scott Morgan, you
- 31:14Speaker 1: mentioned that that evidence is now gone to Brian Fitzgibbons
- 31:18Speaker 1: joining US Director Operations USPA nationwide security. How valuable would
- 31:25Speaker 1: that be in a search for a missing person. You've
- 31:29Speaker 1: got this giant swath of land very close to Nancy
- 31:33Speaker 1: Guthrie's home and out of the blue and elevated heat
- 31:37Speaker 1: signature indicating a living creature, not a dead creature, a
- 31:42Speaker 1: living creature, and it wasn't pursued, now is it? Because
- 31:48Speaker 1: the land was surrounded by barbed wire? You know what?
- 31:52Speaker 1: Where I grew up, a lot of pastures full of
- 31:56Speaker 1: cows were surrounded by barbed wire. We just went over
- 32:00Speaker 1: them or under them. It's not hard. So a bar
- 32:04Speaker 1: boar is stopping PEMA sheriffs from searching, and you've got
- 32:09Speaker 1: this elevated heat signature popping up in the middle of it,
- 32:11Speaker 1: and nothing's done. Yeah.
- 32:15Speaker 10: I have to think that what you're seeing here is
- 32:18Speaker 10: issues with triaging these data points. You know, in that
- 32:22Speaker 10: close proximity to missus Guthrie's home. You would think that
- 32:26Speaker 10: this would be followed up very quickly. And I'll add
- 32:28Speaker 10: one thing here. Private investigator Steve Fisher, who's been a
- 32:33Speaker 10: many times a guest of this show, did a great
- 32:36Speaker 10: job explaining a few months ago drone technology that's available
- 32:41Speaker 10: that can quickly grid search these expansive areas and stitched
- 32:47Speaker 10: together effectively a it looks almost like a satellite map,
- 32:52Speaker 10: but it's taken by drone something like that, bringing tying
- 32:56Speaker 10: in an external resource that quickly. You know, there were
- 33:00Speaker 10: failures all along the way to bring in outside help
- 33:04Speaker 10: to do things like that. So it was just a
- 33:07Speaker 10: you know, I don't think it was the bob wire
- 33:08Speaker 10: that kept them out. I think it was an inability
- 33:11Speaker 10: to effectively work with anybody outside of.
- 33:15Speaker 1: PMA County Ry As Gibbons, You're absolutely right. Take a
- 33:18Speaker 1: listen to Steve Fisher.
- 33:20Speaker 13: So we can do with these specialized drones, and these
- 33:24Speaker 13: are enterprise drones. These are not regular consumer drones. As
- 33:27Speaker 13: we can we can program them to search or to
- 33:34Speaker 13: fly certain search grids and whatnot. And so we do
- 33:38Speaker 13: is that the drone flies these lines that we define
- 33:43Speaker 13: and then when it's complete, we have a photography, We
- 33:48Speaker 13: have imagery of this whole area, and then we can
- 33:52Speaker 13: do is we can actually build a map out of
- 33:55Speaker 13: that it stitched those together and then actually search the map.
- 33:59Speaker 1: Dave matt Stories, investigative reporter. What can you tell me
- 34:02Speaker 1: about solar powered cameras and what if anything they may Yield.
- 34:09Speaker 12: Nancy, the one thing we know about these solar powered
- 34:13Speaker 12: cameras and devices is that we watched as the law
- 34:18Speaker 12: enforcement removed one of these solar powered devices and wired
- 34:23Speaker 12: camera from the roof, if you remember, it was around
- 34:26Speaker 12: February the sixth, then to the investigation seven days in,
- 34:30Speaker 12: and we know that these solar powered cameras and other electronics,
- 34:37Speaker 12: you know, they're they're not attached to the grid, So
- 34:40Speaker 12: whatever is being run and recorded by these cameras would
- 34:45Speaker 12: be saved. It's not part of any kind of grid.
- 34:49Speaker 12: So it doesn't matter if you cut all the wires
- 34:50Speaker 12: in town. These things are independently powered.
- 34:57Speaker 7: Nancy White, female of age fiveteen million, Billain private crew
- 35:04Speaker 7: things after twenty hundred hours because of yesterday, than I
- 35:10Speaker 7: worsher pacemaker and cardiac issues.
- 35:13Speaker 1: Alison Winner joining US senior investigative reporter and author of
- 35:16Speaker 1: a new book, Murder in the Media. Allison, is it
- 35:20Speaker 1: true that even though the family Nancy Guthrie said, this
- 35:25Speaker 1: isn't right, the camera's dislodged, there's blood on the front porch.
- 35:30Speaker 1: She didn't just wander away at the get go. Nanas
- 35:33Speaker 1: insisted on treating this as a case where an elderly
- 35:37Speaker 1: individual simply wandered off.
- 35:41Speaker 8: Yes, and I think that's what they were used to
- 35:43Speaker 8: dealing with there. He actually had a press conference where
- 35:46Speaker 8: that's exactly what he said, that this is.
- 35:48Speaker 4: You know, she had wandered off. We're looking for her.
- 35:51Speaker 8: And there were at that time, the family was inside
- 35:55Speaker 8: the house. There were other officers inside the house, and
- 35:58Speaker 8: they all went searching around to see if they could
- 36:01Speaker 8: find Nancy. So again, you have like evidence disruption. You
- 36:06Speaker 8: have them looking and wasting I mean not wasting, but
- 36:09Speaker 8: not spending the time and not seemingly.
- 36:13Speaker 4: Being able to put together the fact that.
- 36:15Speaker 8: There's blood on the porch and a trail of blood
- 36:18Speaker 8: on the porch, so maybe she didn't just walk away.
- 36:22Speaker 8: And also the fact that the family said she was
- 36:25Speaker 8: not ambulatory, and we heard Savannah say that in a
- 36:27Speaker 8: press conference that she barely could make it to the
- 36:30Speaker 8: mailbox most days.
- 36:33Speaker 14: And my sister called me and I said, is everything okay?
- 36:38Speaker 14: And she said no, she said Mom's missing. And I said,
- 36:43Speaker 14: what what are you talking about. She said, she's gone.
- 36:48Speaker 14: She must have had like some kind of medical episode
- 36:53Speaker 14: in the night, and that somehow, you know, the paramedics
- 36:56Speaker 14: had come I started calling the hospitals, and the police
- 37:00Speaker 14: were there and talking to her at the same time,
- 37:02Speaker 14: and it was just chaos. She was in tremendous pain.
- 37:08Speaker 14: Her back was very bad, you know, she was trying
- 37:12Speaker 14: to On a good day she could walk down to
- 37:15Speaker 14: the mailbox and get the mail, but most days not.
- 37:18Speaker 14: So there was no wander off, and the doors were
- 37:22Speaker 14: popedomin and there was split on the front doors, and
- 37:28Speaker 14: the ring camera had been yanked off, and so we
- 37:32Speaker 14: were saying, this is do something, this is not okay,
- 37:37Speaker 14: this isn't something is very wrong here.
- 37:42Speaker 1: That from our friends at YouTube today. That is Savannah
- 37:47Speaker 1: describing what happened immediately when she realized her mom was missing,
- 37:53Speaker 1: and that authorities were told she did not wander off,
- 37:57Speaker 1: look at the front porch, look at the door cam.
- 38:00Speaker 1: Yet it was pursued for who knows how long as
- 38:04Speaker 1: a wander off by an elderly The question tonight is
- 38:11Speaker 1: how badly has the state's investigation been torpedoed by the
- 38:17Speaker 1: unfortunate misjudgments and delays at the very beginning of the case.
- 38:23Speaker 1: Can it be fixed? Did it cost Nancy Guthrie her life?
- 38:31Speaker 1: Is there a way for her to be brought home alive.
