Transcript
- 0:01Ladies and gentlemen, it's good to be back after a one day break
- 0:05to go and get some dental work done.
- 0:08I am glad to be here on Friday, February 13th, spooky day,
- 0:14Friday the 13th. Hey, the Nancy Guthrie case.
- 0:21OK, there's so many questions and typically I'm kind of a,
- 0:27hey, let's just kind of ride the wave and see what happens here.
- 0:31But I've just got so many questions on this case and I'm
- 0:34hoping that you and I can spend the next hour together trying to
- 0:39figure some of this out. Man, there's a lot of lot of new
- 0:43information in this story and and we got to go through it all.
- 0:46So let's do it. Stick with me.
- 1:01This video contains mature themes and discussions intended
- 1:04only for adult audiences. Viewer discretion is advised.
- 1:11Hello there, my friend, and welcome back to another true
- 1:13crime conversation with me, Gavin Fish.
- 1:17Wherever you're joining me from, I'm so glad you are and thank
- 1:20you for doing that. And please tell me in the
- 1:24comments where you're tuning in from.
- 1:27I love it when people are near and when they are far.
- 1:30I just love to know where you guys are tuning in from.
- 1:34Guys, the Nancy Guthrie case that the nation is captivated on
- 1:38this. I can't go to a single news site
- 1:41without that site having its own dedicated Nancy Guthrie section.
- 1:47It goes right to their, you know, their live updates.
- 1:49This is a case probably because we would all be so horrified if
- 1:55it happened to our mother or to our grandmother or to one of us
- 2:00and our poor kids and grandkids were stuck trying to figure out
- 2:04what was going on. There are questions.
- 2:07Why was she targeted in the 1st place?
- 2:09What is it about Nancy Guthrie? Is it that she is the mother of
- 2:14a person who is famous? I mean, is it, is it something
- 2:17that simple or is it something that we just haven't quite
- 2:22figured out, haven't quite imagined yet?
- 2:25I'd like to know what you think about and I will go to the live
- 2:30stream to the live comments and find out what you think is
- 2:34happening here. By the way, she loves it when we
- 2:40do this. Robin, one of our intrepid
- 2:44moderators known as The Bean and I.
- 2:48It is her birthday today and our lead moderator has already
- 2:52wished her a happy birthday. So say hello to Robin.
- 2:55Definitely give her your best wishes.
- 3:00She is amazing. OK, so I've started the show.
- 3:04I've started the show with a little pull and I just want to
- 3:11see what you guys are saying in that poll.
- 3:13My poll question is, was this an inside job, a professional team
- 3:18or amateurs? I the, the majority say inside
- 3:23job and I'm not convinced. I like, and we can all disagree
- 3:29without hating on each other. I, I just don't, I just don't
- 3:32think so. But 56% of you say yes, an
- 3:36inside job, 38% of you say amateurs, and now 7% of you say
- 3:46pros. Now if you are doing the math,
- 3:49I'm sure that adds up to something other than 100%.
- 3:52These are dynamic numbers here as I'm reading them.
- 3:54So now it's 54397 inside job, amateurs or pros.
- 4:00They certainly don't look like pros from from what we can see
- 4:06so far of the evidence. Yeah.
- 4:13Do you think they went after her because because she is Savannah
- 4:18Guthrie's mom. I'd love to love to hear what
- 4:22you say. Let's see where you guys are
- 4:25tuning, tuning in from. I'm channeling my inner cockney.
- 4:32See where you tune in from in it.
- 4:34I I'm I'm the worst. I'm the worst guys, I'm at worst

- 6:05the description anyway. What what was I saying?
- 6:09What was I Oh, the hair I I need to take pictures.
- 6:16I need to get portraits. Now, portraiture happens to be
- 6:19something that I love to do and I'm set up to do and I need new
- 6:24portraits because I don't look like I once did, right?
- 6:28I've the hair is long, the face is thinner, but I just look so
- 6:33unkempt. It doesn't matter what I do with
- 6:36my hair. I just look like what my
- 6:39grandmother would call a long haired hippie guy.
- 6:42Anyway, Pima County is here. Glad you were here.
- 6:46Bogota is with us. Thank you for being here.
- 6:49PA, Lake, Ozark, Waco is here. I am so busted.
- 6:57Robin, happy birthday. Happy birthday.
- 7:01Yeah, Thanks for tuning in guys, wherever you are from, and thank
- 7:05you for taking care of Miss Robin, the very being and I.
- 7:11OK, let's start with some breaking news.
- 7:13Now that we are, what, 7 minutes into this?
- 7:16I don't know that it's all that breaking, but kind of what
- 7:20happened today. You guys know how I feel about
- 7:23TMC, the TMZ, not TMC. Well, I feel about the same way
- 7:28toward TMC as I do TMZ. They're a celebrity and a gossip
- 7:34site, but they are involved in this because they keep on
- 7:38getting notes. Quick, couple of things from TMZ
- 7:42before we get into a little more meteor fair, a little a little
- 7:49more iron in it. TMZ receives 1/3 e-mail and
- 7:53Nancy Guthrie kidnapping, demanding a higher reward, not
- 7:57demanding, demanding. It says TMZ just received and
- 8:02this happened earlier today. TMZ just received a third e-mail
- 8:06from the man who claims he knows the identity of Nancy Guthrie's
- 8:09kidnapper and he has upped his price.
- 8:12The e-mail say he's contacting Gavin.
- 8:16Slow down man. Slow down Javi, make me slow
- 8:20down. Give me a reminder in the old
- 8:22earbud, William. The e-mail says he's contacting
- 8:26TMZ because he doesn't trust law enforcement.
- 8:30I imagine you wouldn't. He's essentially using TMZ as an
- 8:34intermediary, telling authorities you don't trust me,
- 8:37I don't trust you. He suggests the reward being
- 8:40doubled to $100,000 was a move designed to discredit him.
- 8:45Oh my goodness. Like what?
- 8:51What is the word that? Narcissism much?
- 8:54OK, as we reported, the man demanded one Bitcoin to give up
- 8:58the name and location of the kidnapper.
- 9:00That Bitcoin currently worth about $68,000.
- 9:03Now he wants $100,000. He wants that FBI reward.
- 9:07And here's how. He's asking for a fraction of a
- 9:09Bitcoin worth $50,000. And in return, he will give up
- 9:13the information. And then he expects another
- 9:1550,000 in Bitcoin. Well, this is the world's most
- 9:21brilliant a criminal. I mean, you are a mastermind,
- 9:27Sir or Madam. He promises not to withdraw the
- 9:33first 50K until the kidnapper is arrested.
- 9:36There's another important change.
- 9:38He says when he gets the initial payment, he'll give up the name
- 9:41of the individual. Oh, no, the name of the main
- 9:44individual. Of course, referring to the main
- 9:47individual clearly suggests there are accomplices.
- 9:50He refers to the current state of Nancy Guthrie.
- 9:53We will not be specific. So some genius is going to find
- 9:59himself in prison. You guys saw that Derek, what's
- 10:03his name, who was the first guy to be arrested for, you know,
- 10:09putting in fake ransom demands, has been indicted, Not indicted,
- 10:17arraigned. I can't remember.
- 10:18But anyway, just so dumb. So, so, so, so dumb now.
- 10:22I mean, maybe, maybe. And I'd like to know what you
- 10:27guys think of this. Maybe I am dismissing him too
- 10:29quickly or her. I don't know.
- 10:31I feel like, I feel like it's a dude.
- 10:38I just feel like, I just feel like it's a dude.
- 10:42Just feels so stupid. OK, second thing that TMZ is
- 10:47reporting is hey, there's another video that was posted to
- 10:52the neighbors app on rings. Cops investigating new videos.
- 10:58Suspicious man near Nancy Guthrie's home one week before
- 11:02abduction. Now near is relative as we will
- 11:04learn as we as we read. But here's a screen grab in the
- 11:09video which I did not prepare to show you guys.
- 11:12You can go to TMZ and see it. He he appears to be like in
- 11:15overalls backing up toward the camera trying to not show his
- 11:19face. OK, so new video surfaced in the
- 11:24search for Nancy, Nancy Guthrie's kidnappers, a man in
- 11:29Tucson with a goatee who creepily approached a doorbell
- 11:33camera one week before Nancy was taken.
- 11:35And TMZ has learned cops are giving it a hard look.
- 11:38The video was originally posted January 23rd on Rings Neighbors
- 11:42app, and it shows the guy intentionally backing up to the
- 11:46front door of a home about 6 1/2 miles from where Savannah
- 11:50Guthrie's mother lives. So near.
- 11:54OK, I'll give it to you. In the macro sense, it's nearer,
- 11:57but 6 1/2 miles. The man clearly didn't want to
- 12:01be seen, but the camera still got a good shot of him as he
- 12:04rang the doorbell around 5:00 AM.
- 12:08Oh, this case this like if it weren't so sad and it weren't so
- 12:14tragic. This is, this is just reminding
- 12:18me of the dill holes in Oklahoma, right?
- 12:24It's just. Oh, my goodness.
- 12:35Yeah, so dumb. So you're backing up.
- 12:39You don't want to be seen by you turn around to ring the doorbell
- 12:41at 5:00 in the morning. Like it's sad and tragic.
- 12:46I'm not laughing at the case. I'm not laughing at the
- 12:48situation. I'm laughing at the dill holes
- 12:52that seem to be surrounding this case.
- 12:56OK. The high-ranking law enforcement
- 12:59source connected to the investigation tells TMZ the FBI
- 13:02and Pima County Sheriff's Department are aware of this
- 13:04video and they're treating it as a potential lead.
- 13:08The dark haired individual does have facial hair that seems
- 13:11similar to the person seen in the FBI released images captured
- 13:15by Nancy's doorbell camera. And then blah, blah, blah,
- 13:19right. So you can check it out on
- 13:21TMZ.com. It's just, it's so dumb.
- 13:24It's just, there's so many dumb people.
- 13:27Guys, I, I need, maybe I'm just down on humanity right now.
- 13:32Maybe I maybe I just need to. Maybe I just need to take a
- 13:37break. Hold on.
- 13:40Hold on. Hold on.
- 13:47Yeah. Goodness.
- 13:53Breathe, Gavin. Breathe.
- 13:56There's so many idiots around this case.
- 13:58OK, let's talk about pro or amateur.
- 14:01OK, There is this article from yesterday in the New York Post
- 14:07by Emily Crane that I want to go over a couple of things that
- 14:11maybe I hadn't even thought about before.
- 14:14I'd love to hear your comments on this Key giveaways in Nancy
- 14:18Guthrie case that show suspected kidnapper is not a quote trained
- 14:22assassin former FBI special agent.
- 14:26Now, this is not to diminish the fact that Miss Guthrie is taken.
- 14:33They have successfully taken her, and one doesn't need to be
- 14:36a trained assassin to do some serious damage.
- 14:41Exhibit A would be the case of Luigi Mangioni, right?
- 14:45Allegedly. All right, so Nancy Guthrie's
- 14:49suspected kidnapper made a series of amateurish moves that
- 14:53boggle the mind, a former FBI bigwig said early Thursday,
- 14:58calling it proof the masked thug was unlikely A trained assassin.
- 15:03Once again, New York Post Using language that the New York Post
- 15:08uses, retired FBI supervisory agent James Gagliano said the
- 15:14awkward way the suspect was carrying the holstered gun when
- 15:17he was caught on surveillance outside Savannah Guthrie's mom's
- 15:21home was unlike he'd anything he'd seen before.
- 15:24And let's let's bring up these images real quick.
- 15:27Let's find the one that will show.
- 15:29This one shows it like he's got a holster hanging in front of
- 15:35his his dangly bits, just like like a.
- 15:41Like a weird. Codpiece and now that I look at
- 15:45it see that holster looks like something for a 22 caliber lugar
- 15:49that has like a longer barrel. But the gun that is in it
- 15:57doesn't look like it fits in it like if you look at this photo,
- 16:01it just it looks like it's too far out of the holster right.
- 16:05Let me let me see if I can zoom in on this here real quick.
- 16:13Yeah, just it looks like it doesn't fit.
- 16:18And I hadn't, I hadn't clocked that before I read this article.
- 16:21Right. And why is he wearing it like
- 16:24Henry the Eighth in the middle of the night in Tucson, AZ?
- 16:28That is the strangest way to carry a weapon.
- 16:33So strange. But oh, OK, getting back to the
- 16:36story, quote, it does not look like a trained assassin or
- 16:42somebody who's been doing this a long time, he told Fox and
- 16:45friends early Thursday. I look at the gun.
- 16:49I've never seen somebody carry a weapon that way.
- 16:52I carried a weapon in the service of my country for 33
- 16:55years. I've never seen somebody carry
- 16:57it that way, The ex FBI official continued, continuing a quote.
- 17:02This looks like it was thrown together either last minute or
- 17:05the person got a holster from one person and a weapon from
- 17:08somebody else. Again, looking at that image, it
- 17:12just doesn't look like it fits right?
- 17:16Gagliano said. He was also stunned that the
- 17:20suspect went to the ailing mom's heavy front door where he was
- 17:23caught on her door Cam. And indeed, she has one of those
- 17:30metal barred storm door kind of security doors, right?
- 17:37Gagliano says. There are multiple points of
- 17:40entry that you could get into very easily, he said of today's
- 17:44show host Mom's home in Tucson. In the back of the house there
- 17:48is a door that's got like 9 panel window panes in it and you
- 17:52could have easily broken 1 panel, reached in your hand,
- 17:55unlocked the door and gone in without with nobody noticing.
- 17:59So why did the suspect go to the front?
- 18:01It really boggles the mind. So getting back now that now
- 18:07that we've read that, let me let me check the status of the Pole.
- 18:11We're still about 55% say inside job, 39% say amateurs.
- 18:16I'm going to say other amateurs, right, Other than inside job and
- 18:20amateurs, 6% say pros. Gagliano also said that the post
- 18:27photos of a black glove this Yeah, we're going to get into
- 18:31the glove a little bit. Being recovered by authorities
- 18:33on Wednesday could be a margin of victory for investigators who
- 18:37have yet to ID a suspect. If the gloves come back to this
- 18:42person, if there's DNA on it, and they ultimately be the item
- 18:46that undoes him, who commits a crime, a violent crime, abducts
- 18:50somebody and then drops off clues 1.3 miles from the house?
- 18:54I will tell you, Sir, dill holes, dill holes do that.
- 19:03Total absolute dill holes. The former FBI official said the
- 19:08glove, which resembles the pair worn by the armed perpetrator
- 19:11caught on video, could be part of the margin of victory for
- 19:14detectives scrambling to find the missing mom who needs
- 19:16medication to stay alive. So let's look at a little bit of
- 19:25information on the gloves, OK? This is just a short one from
- 19:293:00 this afternoon, a little more than three hours ago from
- 19:32NBC News, one part of their live feed.
- 19:35No gloves were found at Guthrie's residence, Sheriff
- 19:39Nanos told NBC News today his comments clarify previous
- 19:42reports that a pair of gloves was found at the home.
- 19:46The closest glove was found 2 miles from the Guthrie's house,
- 19:49he said, adding that only one pair of gloves was found that
- 19:53close, which indicates that there might be more pairs O
- 19:58gloves, right? And and do we know that they're
- 20:02even? Connected at all?
- 20:06I mean, it does seem rather weird that black silicone or
- 20:11rubber nitrile gloves would just be discarded out in the desert,
- 20:18but we don't know if they are connected or not, right?
- 20:22Also on NBC, this one, this one got to me because they're, if
- 20:29that glove belongs to a perpetrator, then there's likely
- 20:36DNA. O let's update our OLL here and
- 20:39let me see what you guys think of this.
- 20:41I'm going to, I'm going to end this OLL and we're going to
- 20:43start a new one. My question to you is the glove
- 20:50or gloves that was or were found, do they have anything to
- 20:55do with the case, yes or no? Give me your opinion on that.
- 21:01And that poll is live right now. But in the meantime, let's let's
- 21:07talk DNA. OK, getting back over here.
- 21:11Sheriff Nano says his department, let's see, is this
- 21:15the right one? Give me a second.
- 21:22Yeah, it is. OK says his department is
- 21:24working with the FBI to test evidence found at Guthrie's home
- 21:28from Rebecca Cohen. This is this morning at 11:32 AM
- 21:31Eastern Time. So we're about 7 hours ago.
- 21:35Sheriff Nanos told NBC News affiliate KVOA that a number of
- 21:39gloves have been found in a large area around the house.
- 21:43OK, so that's cleared that up. He said his office is working
- 21:47with the FBI to test the gloves and other evidence recovered
- 21:50from the residence for DNA. He later clarified it wasn't in
- 21:55the residence. Details about the gloves,
- 21:57including how many, were not immediately clear.
- 22:01Nanos reiterated that a Reuters report from last night, which
- 22:05implied the Sheriff's Department and the FBI were in disagreement
- 22:08over where to test the evidence, was false.
- 22:10And I don't know why we even report that kind of crap.
- 22:13It just, it just adds, I know why it adds drama, right?
- 22:17But who cares as long as they're working?
- 22:20He explained that when evidence comes across his desk, he shares
- 22:23it with the FBI, which conducts analysis, and then the FBI then
- 22:28shares those analysis with the Sheriff's Department.
- 22:30Nano said similar procedures were underway with the purported
- 22:35ransom notes allegedly sent to news outlets over the last two
- 22:39weeks. This is this is the paragraph,
- 22:41guys. This is the paragraph.
- 22:43Ready. Why did that?
- 22:45Let's do it this way. I'm going to highlight it.
- 22:47Nanos also said officials took cheek swabs from different
- 22:52individuals we've talked to along the way.
- 22:54That last part was a quote for those of you listening, which
- 22:58means they have DNA samples from people investigators might be
- 23:03interested in. The identities of those people
- 23:06have not been released and investigators have not
- 23:08identified any suspects or persons of interest, but they
- 23:14are going around doing cheek swabs for comparative analysis
- 23:18that now I'm going to do like just a very brief primer, OK, on
- 23:24on DNA evidence taking. OK.
- 23:27And this is from memory. I should have, I should have
- 23:29brought this up, but I have a friend who is a professor of
- 23:32genetics and genomics, Penn State Baron here in the
- 23:35Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. He's told me all about this.
- 23:38He teaches forensic DNA and forensics.
- 23:43What? I don't know the name of the
- 23:44course, but I've attended one of those, one of those courses.
- 23:47Any who there are two different ways within law enforcement that
- 23:56that DNA is tested. OK, One is called oh man, I'm
- 24:01going to have to remember this one is 1 is called STR analysis.
- 24:06If I remember single tan simple tandem repeats STR and the other
- 24:13is single nucleopolymorphisms SNP snap.
- 24:21So there's STR and there's snap. OK, I can't remember which one
- 24:25is which. Honestly, I think, I think, I
- 24:29think. It doesn't matter, but there are
- 24:32two different ways to test for DNA, OK.
- 24:36One of them is a one to one match this when we hear CODIS,
- 24:40for example, CODIS is a database that the that the FBI manages
- 24:45that is available to all law enforcement where they take
- 24:48samples and they do an analysis on it and they they look at very
- 24:53specific parts of the genome. So to me that means that it's
- 25:00probably STRI can't remember though.
- 25:04And then they basically look at very specific places.
- 25:08I think right now they're up to 20 different locations within
- 25:12the genome that they look at. It started at 16.
- 25:15It might be more than that. It's been a while since I've
- 25:17looked. But it will look for those
- 25:19repeats. Yeah.
- 25:21So it's, it is STR that that they do on, on CODIS.
- 25:24It will look for those repeats. It will clock them up.
- 25:27And then basically it creates a way to compare 1 to one person
- 25:33to person. That is the standard way that
- 25:38they test for DNA. And that's why they're going
- 25:40around getting cheek swabs because they're like, hey, we've
- 25:43got this database, but you're not in our database and we think
- 25:47that you are rather interesting. Let we either want to rule you
- 25:51in or rule you out. Will you submit to a cheek swab?
- 25:55And they're going and doing that.
- 25:57And then they will, they will test those, they will run the
- 26:00STR analysis, they will map out those different loci and then or
- 26:05loci, however you say that. And then, then they will 1 to 1
- 26:10compare and see if that person matches the any of the DNA
- 26:14samples that they have from the crime scene, if they have them.
- 26:17We imagine they do based on, you know, this, this paragraph.
- 26:23OK, the other way to do it is through what we now refer to as
- 26:31genetic genealogy, right? So instead of looking for those
- 26:34single tandem repeats or simple tandem repeats, now I can't
- 26:38remember, they're looking for the nucleotide polymorphisms,
- 26:44which are basically they're parts of our DNA that tend to,
- 26:52what is the word that I'm looking for, tend to mutate
- 26:55generationally, right? And, and they tend to be passed
- 26:59down. Those mutations tend to be
- 27:01passed down. And this is where they're able
- 27:03to see, OK, this person is sixth cousin four times removed of
- 27:11this person. You know, they're able to,
- 27:13they're able to connect that genealogy.
- 27:16So it appears what they're doing right now is step one, which is
- 27:19kind of the CODIS way of doing things, looking at these 20
- 27:22loci, trying to figure out one to one matches.
- 27:27So to me, this is terrific news because it means they have DNA,
- 27:34They have DNA from the scene. Now, do they know what that DNA
- 27:39is? It could be that Annie and
- 27:43what's his name? What's his name?
- 27:45Annie and Tommaso were in the house.
- 27:49It could be grandkids. It could be the pool guys.
- 27:52You see the weirdness that like the pool guys were at the house
- 27:55today. It could be all sorts of
- 27:58different things. And maybe they're finding DNA
- 28:00and they're, and they're getting cheek swabs of people that were
- 28:03already at the house just to make, just to see, you know,
- 28:07what they can find, See if there's any foreign DNA, see if
- 28:11we can, you know, rule in or rule out anybody within the
- 28:16immediate family And, and you know, the people who work on the
- 28:19House and so forth. But I think that's good news.
- 28:25I, I do think it's good news that they have been able to
- 28:27clock some DNA. Now let me go over to my
- 28:32question, which was back to the gloves.
- 28:36The gloves that were found, do they have anything to do with
- 28:39the case? 58% of you say no, 58% say no,
- 28:4542 say yes. I feel like a mile and a half
- 28:51away, 2 miles away from the house.
- 28:56Well, I mean maybe stupid criminals were feeling like, oh
- 29:00we're far enough away I can just go ahead and discard these bunch
- 29:04of litter bugs. Did you not grow up in the 70s?
- 29:06Did you not see that commercial? You know that commercial?
- 29:09You know the commercial? What are you doing littering out
- 29:12there? Oh, tangent here real quick.
- 29:16Some people just hate the tangents, but we got to go on a
- 29:18tangent here real quick. Guys, I in 2026 I've decided
- 29:25that I am going to read 6 classics from memory.
- 29:30Those are Tale of Two Cities, Huckleberry Finn, Fahrenheit
- 29:33451, Of Mice and Men, and then I'm going to do El Gaucho,
- 29:37Martin Fierro, which is a Argentine classic.
- 29:42I read Of Mice and Men yesterday.
- 29:46Didn't take me very long. Didn't realize how short it was.
- 29:50But what the crap, George, Why you throwing cans into that
- 29:54beautiful little clearing along the water?
- 29:56And it was just a thing in the 30s, I guess.
- 29:58Just a thing in the 30s. But I mean, maybe law
- 30:01enforcement is lucking out and litterbug stupid dillhole
- 30:06criminals are tossing nitrile gloves out into the desert as
- 30:11they're getting away with Miss Guthrie in tow.
- 30:16And then then again, maybe not. Maybe that has nothing to do
- 30:21with it. I don't know.
- 30:22Thank you. I'm going to go ahead.
- 30:23And so it's 5545 now. I'm going to go ahead and end
- 30:26that poll. Thank you for your your input on
- 30:31that. OK, let's go to the next little
- 30:34piece of evidence. Oh, yeah, I mentioned this
- 30:39earlier, but the man responsible for sending fake ransom note is
- 30:44going to be arraigned. Well, it was set to be arraigned
- 30:47today. I imagine it's already happened,
- 30:49Derek. I guess it's Kaya or Kalela.
- 30:53I don't know what his, what his heritage is.
- 30:57The man who has been arrested and charged with allegedly
- 31:00sending a fake ransom note to the Guthrie family will be
- 31:03arraigned in federal courthouse in Arizona today at 4:00 PM
- 31:05local time. So that happened that that was
- 31:07scheduled to happen about 33 minutes ago.
- 31:10He's accused of allegedly texting a fake ransom note to
- 31:13the Guthrie family demanding money in exchange for their
- 31:17missing mother. And I honestly cannot, I, I, I
- 31:22cannot think of a lower thing to do as a human being.
- 31:26I can't think of a lower thing that you can do as a human
- 31:31being. I cannot.
- 31:34Why do these tell me in in the live chat?
- 31:36Why do high profile cases like this attract such stupid
- 31:41opportunists? And could this slow the
- 31:46investigation? Like could this person be held
- 31:49responsible for if Nancy Guthrie dies because she was held 10
- 31:56minutes longer than her poor life could sustain?
- 32:02Is this guy responsible? Would this guy be responsible?
- 32:06This is a hypothetical situation.
- 32:08I just cannot believe the lowlifes.
- 32:10Why do high profile cases attract so many dill holes?
- 32:17Kills me. OK, The last article that I want
- 32:23to bring to you was was published yesterday.
- 32:26I wanted to go over this yesterday really, really badly
- 32:29because there is a debate about privacy in the United States
- 32:36versus security. Now, I have my own position on
- 32:40this. I'm sharing this just as a thing
- 32:43to think about, not necessarily to push my agenda.
- 32:46I just thought that it's a terrific article by a Kevin
- 32:49Collier at NBC News. OK.
- 32:52And let me just say that whatever your position is,
- 32:58whether it's different from mine or not doesn't matter.
- 33:03There are options for you if you want good security of your house
- 33:10that could be used by law enforcement if if needed, but
- 33:17does not require a subscription. And no, this is not a Segway
- 33:20into a sponsored piece. It's not that OK, There are
- 33:26there are products that you can buy that are not connected to
- 33:30the Internet that are not that are completely secure and
- 33:35completely private. Some of them come with
- 33:39redundancy. You do not have to don't don't
- 33:44think that if you're going to add security to your house, you
- 33:46have to do like a Nest camera or a Ring camera or what are some
- 33:51of the ones that are really popular right now like simply
- 33:55say for something like that, you can you can do it offline and
- 34:01have a terrific system that is 4 and 8K color in the dark, really
- 34:08good technology and it's becoming cheaper and cheaper by
- 34:11the day. OK, Kevin Collier writes.
- 34:14The FB is publication of videos from Nancy Guthrie's Google Nest
- 34:17doorbell camera has reinvigorated questions that
- 34:20have dogged big tech companies as they have become a larger
- 34:24part of People's Daily lives. How much data are these devices
- 34:28collecting? What happens to that data?
- 34:31And is it ever truly deleted? FBI Director Kash Patel said
- 34:36Tuesday that the footage had been recovered thanks to the
- 34:38bureau's work with private companies, coming after Pima
- 34:42County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the video was unavailable
- 34:44because Guthrie did not pay for a Nest subscription.
- 34:49While the details are still unknown, Patel said in an
- 34:51interview with Fox News on Tuesday evening.
- 34:54Quote we were able to execute lawful searches and go to these
- 34:58private sector companies and expedite results and then go
- 35:01into their systems and actually excavate material that people
- 35:05would think would normally be deleted and no one would look
- 35:08for. The capture of those videos was
- 35:12a relief, offering authorities and the public some information
- 35:16to use in hopes of finding Guthrie.
- 35:19But it also underscored how these systems can collect video
- 35:22even if people might not be aware that they are doing so,
- 35:26and that modern systems that power these Internet connected
- 35:29devices can be harnessed by law enforcement even when that data
- 35:32may not be available to the users themselves.
- 35:37Ashkan Sultani, former head of the California Privacy
- 35:40Protection Agency, the state's digital piracy, I'm sorry
- 35:44privacy regulator, said that customers don't often realize
- 35:48how much data they are sharing with the tech companies,
- 35:50sometimes prompting A backlash. I used to joke.
- 35:53The privacy problems are essentially surprise management
- 35:57on the part of companies since typically most consumers don't
- 36:00understand how their information is collected and used,
- 36:03particularly passive collection, Sultani said in an e-mail.
- 36:08And when consumers do realize, it's typically not favorable on
- 36:11the part of those companies. Those concerns have only been
- 36:14heightened by the advent of advanced artificial intelligence
- 36:17technology that can come through large amounts of data and
- 36:21identify everything from faces to license plates.
- 36:25So I mean, this is something that we need to, we just need to
- 36:33have in mind. Like if you know, my wife and I
- 36:38recently bought ATV. We bought a big TV for our
- 36:44bedroom. We haven't had ATV in our
- 36:46bedroom, I don't think ever. And we had found ourselves like
- 36:52laying in bed together, each with a device in front of our
- 36:55face. And like, that's why, why are we
- 36:58living separate lives together? So we bought ATV.
- 37:02It was cheap. It was so cheap.
- 37:05And it was, it's 4K. It's built by a very good
- 37:09reputable brand, you know, and it was the 2025 model and we
- 37:15bought it after New Year's. And so we got it.
- 37:17I, I think, I think we spent less than $300 on this thing.
- 37:21OK, Now, why is that thing so cheap?
- 37:25It is that cheap because in order to use their smart service
- 37:29on the TV, you have to give away your privacy.
- 37:34When when a product is free or too cheap like below what you
- 37:41think it costs to manufacture that thing, that means that you
- 37:47are the product. OK, you have to remember this
- 37:52now. I went into it knowing I am the
- 37:55product and I'm comfortable with it, right?
- 37:58I mean, I used to work in the advertising and marketing world.
- 38:01The, the, the granularity of the data that I could get on a
- 38:05household, like at that address, what can I advertise to them in
- 38:12that house? That's, that's not like a radius
- 38:15of an area or even a geofence of a block.
- 38:18I, I was able, we were able to get granular data down to the
- 38:22house. So just know that if you
- 38:27subscribe to Nest or you subscribe to ring or even if you
- 38:30don't have a subscription, part of the, the terms and conditions
- 38:37that you agree to is you're sharing that data and you either
- 38:42need to be comfortable with it or not or live a disconnected
- 38:46lifestyle. It's really funny.
- 38:47Our daughter told us after Netflix raised their prices
- 38:52again, they're like, I'm going back to DV DS and it and I'm
- 38:56actually kind of proud of them for doing that.
- 38:58They're like, we're just we're just going to buy, you know, box
- 39:02sets of Miss Maisel and friends and you know, Frazier and stuff
- 39:07like that. And we're going to watch it
- 39:08offline, like, well, you're going to get 480P out of it, but
- 39:12you know, whatever. But they've made that
- 39:15realization like, I don't want to I don't want to pay all this
- 39:18money and and be advertised to that.
- 39:22That was one that she it bothered her to is on Amazon.
- 39:25She's like, I'm paying for this and there's advertisements.
- 39:28So anyway, just be comfortable knowing that you're the product
- 39:35and the, and these companies that once were manufacturers and
- 39:41I'm and I know there's a bit of a tangent, but I come from, I
- 39:45come from the electronics manufacturing sector.
- 39:51These companies which were once manufacturers are only
- 39:56manufacturing because that is the way that they get what's
- 40:00truly valuable, which is the advertising data, the data that
- 40:03they can monetize, basically data on you.
- 40:07And yeah, that that's a bit of a, a tangent, but I, it's, it's
- 40:14so, so important. Now in this case, is it worth
- 40:18it? Because we've got Nancy Guthrie,
- 40:21who is missing hopefully, and I'm presuming that she's still.
- 40:27She she has not entered her eternal rest that she is still
- 40:31with us on this beautiful earth. I I hope that I deeply desire
- 40:36that I think that the the likelihood of it continues to
- 40:41diminish it diminish as we go along, but I'm keeping that hope
- 40:46in my heart in this case. I mean, we got we got these
- 40:51images because specifically, even without a subscription, the
- 40:58data was shared with the company because that is what the company
- 41:02is. It is a data collection agency.
- 41:07But here we are. We've got photos of the masked
- 41:13Dill Hall, the masked and be gloved idiot that I think we're
- 41:19all thinking. And yeah, wearing that gun like
- 41:25that is the dumbest thing. Oh, he looks like he looks like
- 41:32some medieval king who just really wants everybody to think
- 41:36that he's bigger than he actually is.
- 41:37It looks like a codpiece, people.
- 41:39Looks like a codpiece. But yeah, not to me.
- 41:43Not a pro. Not a pro.
- 41:46All right man, I've rambled on a lot tonight.
- 41:48Let us see what you guys are saying over in the live chat.
- 41:51Remember you need to put GF in your chat in order for me to see
- 41:55it. And Oh my goodness my system
- 41:58isn't highlighting. Let's see.
- 42:01But I will go through and see if I can find GFS here manually.
- 42:07Langell says. I'd like to know if they've
- 42:09looked into S GS Savannah Guthrie's ex.
- 42:12He seems to have the build in the facial features.
- 42:15Mark Orchard. I wonder, I wonder.
- 42:20Let's see, Scotch's mom. Gavin, I thought you were going
- 42:24to have a tangent about having about something to do with
- 42:27Jacksonville. OK, Tannic says.
- 42:30Wrong. Gavin.
- 42:31It looks fabulous. Not unkempt at all.
- 42:35We will politely agree to disagree.
- 42:38I just. I'm having a hard time with it.
- 42:40TMZ is trash. It's true.
- 42:42It's true. But you know what?
- 42:44It I I just feel like I have to. I have to report it.
- 42:49I have to. I I don't trust them all that
- 42:51much either. Yeah, they are a modern day
- 42:53Enquirer. That's how they're designed.
- 42:58Let's see. Gavin.
- 43:01Bobby McCray says Gavin. I vote it's TMZ.
- 43:03This is the most recognition they've had, and forever.
- 43:05That's funny. That is funny, Spoostad says the
- 43:12emails are from an opportunist. Let me keep going here, see if
- 43:20carrots and other veg, says Gavin.
- 43:22Do you know about the link between the first man arrested,
- 43:25Derek and Tomaso and his husband?
- 43:28I don't, I don't. Is there a connection between
- 43:33Mr. Kalalo or Kayo and Tomaso Cioni?
- 43:40Well now I want to look it U let's see.
- 44:06I don't see a direct connection, but if if you do send it over to
- 44:12me, will you? If you go to my website,
- 44:14gavinfish.com, and click on this little icon up here, the little
- 44:17envelope icon, you can, you can send that information in my way.
- 44:22I'd love to see it. Bringing back Miss Guthrie.
- 44:26Do do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Let's see.
- 44:30Ottawa is in the house. Glad you are here.
- 44:32Thank you, Tanya Jones what it what are your thoughts on the
- 44:37sheriff keeping the glove found inside the house from the FBI
- 44:41lap? He's saying he didn't saying
- 44:43that there wasn't a glove found inside the house and he's saying
- 44:47that he's working with the FBII. I'm I think that's just I think
- 44:52that's just drama. I think that's, you know, when
- 44:55you're watching or, you know, I, I recently read A Tale of two
- 45:00cities and now I'm not going to accuse Dickens of doing this
- 45:04because Dickens was a master after all.
- 45:06But as we're going through this and we're going why am I
- 45:11watching or why am I reading about this, you know, grave
- 45:17robbing incident and who cares about, you know, like you're
- 45:22you're plodding along on the main theme, but you've got all
- 45:26these little things happening. It's like Game of Thrones, man
- 45:28is that way. So many little things happening.
- 45:30I just want to focus down right down the middle.
- 45:33Anything that just adds drama. I'm I'm Gene Roddenberry about
- 45:37it. I don't want it.
- 45:38I don't want any of it. Yes, I did.
- 45:41I did say I said dangly bits, but I think I like dingly bits
- 45:44better. Yes, yeah.
- 45:47And I at first I thought that it was for a suppressor, but I've
- 45:50never seen a let's see if we can find that image.
- 45:56I, I've never seen a holster like that.
- 45:58You know what I have seen? I've seen a gun case like a
- 46:02travel case, like a soft, like for instruments, we'd call them
- 46:06gig bags. I I've seen cases like that
- 46:12similar to what he has hanging in front of the old Dingly bits
- 46:16there but never worn as a holster.
- 46:20And to me it's not big enough for a for some sort of
- 46:25suppressor. But that's just me.
- 46:31Who's the guy in the intro? Just kidding.
- 46:33But for real, would love to know your secret.
- 46:34Yeah, that is fat Gavin in the intro and this is still fat but
- 46:40thinner Gavin. And my secret is I exercise 6 *
- 46:45a week, three times doing weightlifting, 3 times walking,
- 46:52and I am on a serious, serious calorie deficit.
- 46:56I'm yeah, that's, that's what I'm doing.
- 47:03OK, Tonya Jones says. They said it's a semi automatic
- 47:05in a revolver sling. I mean, maybe, maybe could be.
- 47:15Yeah. Henry the Eighth has entered the
- 47:18chat. Indeed.
- 47:19Yeah. The best part of going to the to
- 47:22the Tower of London is the is the Henry the Eighth copies.
- 47:27It's hilarious. Bobby and McCray.
- 47:32We need a song for dangly bits. OK, you guys.
- 47:41You guys see what else I wish it was highlighting for me on the
- 47:45back end. Miss Chivo's Dragon says gloves
- 47:51probably blew out of the back of someone's work truck a day
- 47:54before they were found. Not related.
- 47:56I I think that's just as possible as it's just as
- 47:59probable as they were thrown out by.
- 48:01It's probably more probable. Probably more probable.
- 48:04Is that it? Is that the right way to say
- 48:06that? Yeah, I agree.
- 48:08But I'm glad that they found it. I'm glad they're testing it.
- 48:14Yeah, Jesse says I heard there is no glove found in the house.
- 48:17Now. Any truth to that?
- 48:18According to NBC News, there was no glove found in the house and
- 48:22they're reporting is quoting Sheriff Nanos.
- 48:27Let's see. Man it.
- 48:29I just wish that it was highlighting for me.
- 48:32You guys have lots of great comments, but let's see.
- 48:38Yeah, give a hoot. Don't pollute.
- 48:39Martine Fiero. Oof.
- 48:41That's a long one. Indeed it is.
- 48:43Indeed it is. And I'm looking forward to
- 48:45reading it. Yeah.
- 48:48Brian. And reported there was a black
- 48:49glove found in the house that was sent off for DNA testing.
- 48:53NBC News reported that no glove was found in the house,
- 48:59according to the sheriff. And that's that's one of the
- 49:01things that we looked at a little bit earlier.
- 49:07Do do do do do do do. SWAT at Dominic's house.
- 49:19Let me check just check to see if there is anything updating in
- 49:27the live coverage. Updated 27 minutes ago.
- 49:33What we know about Nancy Guthrie's health.
- 49:37NBC is not reporting that. But but they're also, you know,
- 49:44they, they tend to be a little more conscientious about what
- 49:47they what they report and when. So that might come out in a
- 49:51little bit. Couple more comments before we
- 49:55move on. SWAT is active in the town
- 50:01Dominic lives in. I'm watching live footage.
- 50:04OK, All right, let's see. Just want to check anything else
- 50:15you guys are saying, Gavin, The glove found outside could have
- 50:24been from law enforcement or investigators.
- 50:26That's possible. That's possible.
- 50:30Susan says Gavin, Appendix carry offers rapid access to the gun.
- 50:34I'm aware of appendix carry, but I've never seen it dangling
- 50:38outside the belt, You know what I mean?
- 50:40Like if you're going to draw fast, at least for me, you need
- 50:45a secure holster. You don't need one that's like
- 50:48just kind of waving in the breeze.
- 50:50And that's what it looks like. Plus, if you run and assuming
- 50:54he's a man, say you had to run. You you'd be taking shots in the
- 51:00seeds over and over and over again.
- 51:02It's the dumbest place. I, I don't know, I don't know.
- 51:08Maybe I'm just being too, too immature about this.
- 51:16Yeah. And a Hyneman is saying the same
- 51:18thing. Appendix carriers typically
- 51:20inside. Yeah.
- 51:22Oh, guys. All right.
- 51:25Thank you very much for all your comments.
- 51:27I'm sorry that my system today wasn't wasn't highlighting for
- 51:32me. I think I probably missed a lot
- 51:34of very good comments today, but you know what it's time for
- 51:38right now. It's time for three questions.
- 51:42It's three questions with Gavin Fish.
- 51:50How? OK, in three questions, guys, I
- 51:53answer 3 questions that are submitted to me by you to the
- 51:56e-mail address threequestions@gavinfish.com.
- 51:58Three questions at gavinfish.com.
- 52:00It is spelled out. THREE questions plural, at
- 52:06gavinfish.com. I've started, you know, many of
- 52:10you responded to my last when I said, hey, I'm down to like my
- 52:14very last questions here. I got lots in.
- 52:17So I put them into my handy dandy little spreadsheet and
- 52:21I've got some questions to go over today.
- 52:25And I realized, by the way, some of these questions are going to
- 52:29be for you. OK, I want to hear your comments
- 52:34on these and then I'll give you time during headlines before I
- 52:39do this person. This next question requires that
- 52:44I do just a little bit of research.
- 52:45I'm going to go to my February 9th live stream.
- 52:51So I think that is this one. Yes, it is.
- 52:56OK, let me let me skip ahead and find a spot where there I am.
- 53:03OK? Oh, Oh my goodness.
- 53:07OK, here is the question. Today is Monday, February 9th,
- 53:142026. Are you wearing your blue
- 53:16T-shirt backwards? Tina asks.
- 53:20Well, let's, let's go to the replay.
- 53:23Let's go to the replay and just see.
- 53:28Let's bring it up here. What do you guys think?
- 53:32Does my T-shirt look like it is on backwards?
- 53:35I think Tina might be on to something that does look like
- 53:39there's a the outline, the impression of A tag.
- 53:45It is certainly possible, Tina, that I was wearing my T-shirt
- 53:50backwards that day, all day, and didn't know it.
- 53:56So great eye, great eye. Oh my goodness, so good, So, so
- 54:02good. Really impressed with the
- 54:06attention that you pay to detail.
- 54:09My guess is that Tina is a terrific investigator.
- 54:13I think that she did solve that. One question #2 how long you
- 54:17been have you been flying and what is your favorite place to
- 54:20go? For those of you who don't know,
- 54:25I am a certificated private pilot.
- 54:28I got my certificate in the year 2000.
- 54:33I have been flying for not quite 26 years.
- 54:39I think I got, I think I got it early in the early in that year.
- 54:47I'm trying to think, I think that was the springtime.
- 54:50We're coming up on 26 years. I would, I would have to pull
- 54:54out my certificate and take a look.
- 54:56I can't remember, but I got my certificate from, well, from the
- 55:03FAA, but I earned my certificate in Natomas, California, which is
- 55:10a suburb of Sacramento. And I flew at a little airstrip
- 55:16called Natomas Airfield, which is no longer there.
- 55:19It was adjacent to Arco Arena which is also no longer there
- 55:24and I flew in little Cessna One fifties, 150 twos, 170 twos, 180
- 55:31twos and got my certificate. Then I started flying out of
- 55:39Auburn, CA, Rancho Marietta, California, a couple of other
- 55:42places. What is my favorite place to go?
- 55:46I don't care where I go as long as I am in the air doing it.
- 55:51And it's a bonus if I'm doing it with somebody I love.
- 55:55That's now Kimberly has not been in the air with me since 2000.
- 56:02She gets she gets motion sickness.
- 56:04So our first date was a flight. I was not the pilot.
- 56:09We were passengers on a double date.
- 56:11And I've described that date before.
- 56:14It was picturesque, man. And she wasn't impressed.
- 56:17She's still not all that impressed.
- 56:19And then the the next time she went on a flight with me was on
- 56:25a check ride so that I could rent a particular plane.
- 56:29And then the last one she went on was when our oldest daughter,
- 56:35who is now married and living with her husband out of state
- 56:42when she was about three, 2-3 months old.
- 56:46But sometimes I take the kids up.
- 56:49Sometimes I go with friends. For me, it's just about the
- 56:52flight. It's not about the destination.
- 56:56What do you guys like to do? How long have you been doing
- 56:58your favorite hobby and where do you like to go?
- 57:01Question #3 do I believe in the paranormal?
- 57:04You know, I was going to do a little, just quick little
- 57:07research. I am a stickler for, let's see,
- 57:11we've got an update. I'm a stickler for definitions.
- 57:20We'll get to this update in just a second.
- 57:22Let me just look for paranormal definition.
- 57:26I'm just a stickler. Let's see paranormal denoting
- 57:29events or phenomena such as telekinesis or clairvoyance that
- 57:33are beyond the scope of normal scientific understanding.
- 57:43So do I believe in the paranormal?
- 57:45I think that I think. I mean, I don't disbelieve it.
- 57:54Not really my thing. I really don't care.
- 57:57I'm agnostic. Let's say that I'm agnostic to
- 58:01like, clairvoyance and telekinesis.
- 58:04It might be, it might not be. I just don't care.
- 58:08You know, like if you're talking about like, ghosts.
- 58:14And stuff like that. Again, I don't.
- 58:18Care all that much. I'm not afraid of it.
- 58:21I'm not excited by it. I don't care all that much.
- 58:24But sure, yeah, they're probably they're probably spirits of our
- 58:28dearly departed roaming around and are in some other
- 58:36dimensional space. I I don't know, but yeah, that
- 58:42seems like a very dissatisfying answer.
- 58:46Dissatisfying. Gavin, you need to do better.
- 58:48Javi, make a note. Gavin needs to do better.
- 58:52It was a good question. It wasn't your fault, Bernie.
- 58:54That was my fault. I just, I'm just agnostic to it.
- 58:57I just really, I don't care. Now, I want to hear your answers
- 59:01to these questions and I'm going to give you a little time while
- 59:04we go over some headlines. True.
- 59:10Crime headlines. Okie Dokie, I've got 2 headlines
- 59:16for you. One out of the LA Times, one out
- 59:18of The Columbus Dispatch. Join me at Acrobat.
- 59:22Will you hear real quick? The title is or the headline is.
- 59:25David's family members are fighting grand jury subpoenas in
- 59:28the case of a dead teen found in the singer's car.
- 59:32Of course, we're talking about Celeste Rivas Hernandez here.
- 59:36The father, mother and brother of the singer known as David are
- 59:39fighting Los Angeles County grand jury subpoenas related to
- 59:42the investigation into the death of a teenage girl discovered in
- 59:45the trunk of his Tesla, arguing their due process rights are
- 59:49being violated, court records in Texas indicate.
- 59:52The First District Court of Appeals in Texas on Monday
- 59:55denied all three habeas corpus petitions to overturn a lower
- 1:00:00court ruling that required the family members who live in
- 1:00:03Texas. To comply with subpoenas to
- 1:00:05testify in California, the appeals panel could take the
- 1:00:09matter up for another hearing on February 24th, according to the
- 1:00:12ruling. The development comes five
- 1:00:14months after, Yeah, we all know about poor Celeste.
- 1:00:18Oh my goodness. In November, prosecutors began
- 1:00:21presenting evidence to a grand jury, described at the time as
- 1:00:24an investigative grand jury, according to a source who spoke
- 1:00:27on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized
- 1:00:31to discuss the case with the media.
- 1:00:32Since then, numerous other witnesses have been called into
- 1:00:35the grand jury room to testify in the investigation into
- 1:00:39Celeste's death. Among those is one of the
- 1:00:41managers of David, whose real name is David.
- 1:00:43Anthony Burke. A friend of David Leoning, Neil
- 1:00:48Langston, was arrested in Montana after ignoring a
- 1:00:51subpoena and was recently forced to return to LA to testify.
- 1:00:56So yeah, they're fighting that. We'll see what happens
- 1:01:00eventually. Now, this one, I'm not going to
- 1:01:03read the whole thing. I'm just going to suggest that
- 1:01:05you go to the-dispatch.com, to dispatch.com, The Columbus
- 1:01:10Dispatch, because this one kind of felt a little too close to
- 1:01:15home for me and I, it has caused some introspection in me.
- 1:01:21Hopefully it will do the same in you because I don't want to be
- 1:01:23guilty of what they describe some of what they describe in
- 1:01:28this article. OK headline after Monique
- 1:01:32Spencer Tepi were. Killed True.
- 1:01:34Crime reporters followed this is written by Nathan Hart and
- 1:01:37Shaheed Megan and it says in late December, Monique.
- 1:01:41Tepi, 39. Spencer.
- 1:01:42Tepi, 37, died after they were found shot in their home in
- 1:01:45Weinland Park. Their children, a four year old
- 1:01:48and a one year old, and their goldendoodle were left unharmed
- 1:01:51physically, Gavin adds. In the home, the tragedy had
- 1:01:55mystery. It was horrific.
- 1:01:56It had a female victim. Children were involved.
- 1:01:58All of these elements can propel a crime into the national true
- 1:02:01crime spotlight, according to Virginia Tech instructor Ingrid
- 1:02:05Johnson, who teaches a class on true crime and propelled It was
- 1:02:09True crime aficionados and influencers descended on
- 1:02:12Columbus both physically and virtually.
- 1:02:15They poured over every aspect of Monique Spencer and ex-husband
- 1:02:18Michael Mckee's lives, interviewing unnamed friends and
- 1:02:22family members and analyzing court documents.
- 1:02:25True crime influencer Sally Miley, who goes.
- 1:02:27By. True Crime Mama Online
- 1:02:30frequently posted about the Tempe case on her social media
- 1:02:33pages, which have hundreds of thousands of followers.
- 1:02:36The unusual details of the case drew her in, she said.
- 1:02:40You can see why this touches me, right?
- 1:02:43So far I'm I'm I've done the same as Sally and I and I'm I
- 1:02:52don't think this is a hit piece on Sally at all.
- 1:02:55It it changes here in a second quote.
- 1:02:57I think initially just because it was a husband and a wife both
- 1:02:59killed. My initial thought was that it
- 1:03:01was a murderer cell phone alive ING and the more I read about
- 1:03:06it, I came to the realization that that was not the case at
- 1:03:09all. It's such an atypical story.
- 1:03:11She told the dispatch. OK and then.
- 1:03:15Let me just let me just read. This next part I'm skipping
- 1:03:17down. The Tempe killings also drew the
- 1:03:19attention of less scrupulous social media elements.
- 1:03:22Misinformation and flat out fabrications proliferated.
- 1:03:25Shady Facebook pages claim to have the couple's last words,
- 1:03:29interviews with their children, or video footage from the night
- 1:03:32of the crime. One account shared a fake image
- 1:03:35of the slain couple, Spencer wearing a tuxedo, Monique
- 1:03:39wearing a swimsuit. Travis Dixon, a professor at the
- 1:03:43University of Illinois who studies stereotypes in mass
- 1:03:46media, said modern technology financially incentivizes people
- 1:03:49to post emotional, sensationalistic content, which
- 1:03:53can lead them to pursue true crime cases as potential revenue
- 1:03:57sources. Now let me just let me address
- 1:04:01this because it is true that the right post and now this has
- 1:04:07never happened to me, but the right post that goes viral, say
- 1:04:11on Facebook and it's just maybe it's just a picture can bring in
- 1:04:16thousands and thousands of. Dollars.
- 1:04:18To its publisher, especially in true crime.
- 1:04:23OK, revenue in the true crime genre is way higher than most
- 1:04:31genres in social media. So I, I guess the reason that
- 1:04:37I'm bringing this up is that I want to remind us in this
- 1:04:40community, in the, in the fish tank community and just all of
- 1:04:45us watching and talking with each other right now that we
- 1:04:48don't want to be part of that. Not only do we not want to be
- 1:04:52the people that publish that kind of stuff, we don't want to
- 1:04:55be the kind of people that consume that stuff and just in a
- 1:04:59knee jerk reaction share that stuff around because it, I mean,
- 1:05:05it hurts. It hurts the, the victim's
- 1:05:09family members, their loved ones, their friends, and it just
- 1:05:13creates, it just muddies the waters of or for law
- 1:05:18enforcement. And there is a line, right?
- 1:05:22It, I don't think it's a very fine line.
- 1:05:24I think it's a really wide, bright red neon line between
- 1:05:32your right as a citizen to free expression and and to free
- 1:05:38speech and then just acting like a dill hole online because
- 1:05:44you're easily duped into sharing things or you are a person that
- 1:05:49is unscrupulous and will publish that kind of stuff.
- 1:05:52I just want I I want you to go to the.
- 1:05:54Dispatch and finish. Reading this article, I'm not
- 1:05:56going to read the whole thing, but let's not be that let.
- 1:06:00Let's follow the. Reiner's admonition, right?
- 1:06:04Let's temper our speculation and everything else that we do in
- 1:06:09this hobby with humanity and with compassion.
- 1:06:14We don't have to be sensationalistic about it.
- 1:06:16We can have conversations. We can.
- 1:06:19We can take things seriously and have deep conversations.
- 1:06:22We can every once in a while it's appropriate.
- 1:06:24We can laugh about the total dill holes that are surrounding
- 1:06:27cases too. We can do both of those things
- 1:06:30as long as we do so remembering that there are victims here and
- 1:06:36we want to. We don't want to further
- 1:06:39victimize. I guess that's a little soapbox
- 1:06:41that I wanted to go on with that.
- 1:06:43Let me just check to see if there are a couple of.
- 1:06:51Comments. It's not highlighting for me.
- 1:06:55So I'm just going to do my best here.
- 1:07:06OK. Do I timeshare my plan?
- 1:07:12No. You guys don't understand like.
- 1:07:15You got to send in the questions man.
- 1:07:17Got to send them in. Got to send them in.
- 1:07:19Let me just see if there's any other Ohio Palm.
- 1:07:25Mom says that. Sure screams guilty.
- 1:07:28I think you're talking about trying not to testify to the
- 1:07:32grand jury. It kind of does to me, too.
- 1:07:38Let's see, anything else? Lynn Zernich says.
- 1:07:42Gavin I fall asleep to. Your videos not.
- 1:07:44Because you're boring, but because you have a calm,
- 1:07:45soothing voice. I do go back the next day and
- 1:07:47real watch content. That's awesome.
- 1:07:50Kimberly and I were talking about my voice last night.
- 1:07:53Or yeah, I think it was last night.
- 1:07:57I have such a combination of. My parents voices my my dad.
- 1:08:00Has a beautiful lower voice, kind of a baritone voice.
- 1:08:05And my mom's voice sounds like she's got such so many layers in
- 1:08:12the tambour of her of her voice that it almost sounds like
- 1:08:16multiple people are speaking at the same time in unison.
- 1:08:20And I have a little bit of that, so yeah.
- 1:08:28Scottish mom says Gavin, you said you had an update.
- 1:08:30What was the? Oh, yeah, I did.
- 1:08:32Thank you for catching that. Thank you.
- 1:08:33There is an update on NBC 17 minutes ago.
- 1:08:39Let me. Zoom up in on this.
- 1:08:40Before we call it a night. Javi, push the right button.
- 1:08:47Come on, Javi. You know, you're not a new
- 1:08:49employee anymore. You are you've you've been here
- 1:08:52a long time. What, like a week?
- 1:08:54You should. Come on.
- 1:08:56All right. I'm sorry.
- 1:08:57I you know what? That was unprofessional me to
- 1:09:00dress down my employee like that.
- 1:09:02I apologize. OK. 18 minutes ago, DNA from
- 1:09:06someone other than Guthrie, those close to her, was taken
- 1:09:10from property. So I would imagine that does not
- 1:09:14include Annie Cameron, Savannah Tommaso, grandkids, anybody like
- 1:09:23that. So just Marlene writes, Marlene
- 1:09:26Lintheng writes. DNA from someone other than
- 1:09:29Nancy Guthrie and those in close contact to her has been
- 1:09:32collected from her property, the Pima County Sheriff's Office
- 1:09:35said tonight. Investigators are working to
- 1:09:38identify who the DNA belongs to, official said, noting they will
- 1:09:43not disclose where it was located.
- 1:09:46That is big. That is big.
- 1:09:49And they're working. I don't know if they're going to
- 1:09:51be snipping it or stirring it. Hopefully both, maybe having to
- 1:09:57do some genetic genealogy. Maybe they'll get lucky and get
- 1:10:00a one to one match. But that is very big.
- 1:10:03And thank you for that reminder. I would have forgotten.
- 1:10:06Thank you so much. Scotch's mom Carrots another
- 1:10:12village. I sent you an.
- 1:10:13UPDATE. OK.
- 1:10:13Thank you. Gavin, you are a baby whisperer.
- 1:10:16You have no idea what a baby whisperer I am.
- 1:10:19OK, let me give you an example. At church, there was a little
- 1:10:24baby so cute that was acting like a baby.
- 1:10:27The fussy mom. Mom was having a hard time.
- 1:10:31You could tell that it was one of those days.
- 1:10:32It's just a hard day. And fortunately for me, at
- 1:10:36church, I. AM.
- 1:10:37Trusted and I just walked up turn.
- 1:10:39I said can I take a turn? Sure.
- 1:10:41I grab the baby, I take the little baby to the back and
- 1:10:45within moments that baby is snoozing.
- 1:10:47Man, I'm telling you, I am a baby whisperer and I hope it's
- 1:10:52working out well for you. Yes, long, long time employee.
- 1:10:56He's been here a week. No, listen, I again, I
- 1:11:00apologize. Javi, you're doing great.
- 1:11:02Javi, you're doing great. Bar bar, Olson says.
- 1:11:06Javier, come to work for me. You don't need to put up with
