Latest / True Crime with Gavin Fish / Retired FBI Agent Breaks Down the Mind of Nancy Guthrie’s Abductor | Who Kidnapped Nancy?
Transcript
- 0:01Well over 4 weeks ago, 84 year old Tucson grandmother and
- 0:08mother of Today Show Co host Savannah Guthrie went missing.
- 0:15The likelihood that Nancy Guthrie is still with us is very
- 0:21low, but we've got to remain hopeful that she is.
- 0:26And today I've had a conversation with Jen
- 0:30Coffendaffer, who is a friend of mine and a retired FBI agent and
- 0:37podcaster. She's awesome, bad to the bone.
- 0:41And we talked about this case we're going to, I'm going to
- 0:44share that with you along with a couple of other things.
- 0:49Stick with me. This video contains mature
- 1:03themes and discussions intended only for adult audiences.
- 1:07Viewer discretion is advised. Hello there my friend.
- 1:12Welcome back to another true crime conversation with me,
- 1:15Gavin Fish. If you're into true crime and
- 1:18you like to cut past the sensationalism, the fluff, you
- 1:22found the right place. And boy, am I glad you did.
- 1:26I'm so glad that you are joining me wherever you're joining me
- 1:30from. Please tell me in the comments
- 1:32where you are. And you know, bonus points if
- 1:36you tell me in a creative way that exercises our little brain.
- 1:40I just love that. I want to thank who is it?
- 1:44It is. Let me see if I can get this
- 1:47working here. There we go.
- 1:50Beth Guybe 8844 for getting us started with a super chat today.
- 1:55Thank you very much Beth. I deeply, deeply appreciate the
- 2:00support that you guys give me it.
- 2:02You guys are awesome. Okey Dokey, we are talking about
- 2:08the case of Nancy Guthrie. Nancy Guthrie as I said, 84 year
- 2:12old grandma Savannah Guthrie's mom last seen on January 31st.
- 2:18She did not show up for church on February 1st.
- 2:21Family came to check in on her, found a crime scene called 911.
- 2:26They saw that it was a crime scene.
- 2:28And then this whole kind of snafu began with so many, so
- 2:33many things have happened, and it's very difficult to know, you
- 2:40know? It's very difficult.
- 2:43To know, I personally don't think that the after the
- 2:48conversation that I had with Jen, I'm, I'm coming around to
- 2:54the side that I think that the people that were ransoming,
- 2:58sending in ransom notes have nothing to do with this case.
- 3:04But I'm, oh, now, you know, maybe I'm putting the cart
- 3:08before the horse here because I want to share with you the
- 3:13conversation that I had with Jen earlier today.
- 3:16And we're going to get your comments along the way.
- 3:17So get your thumbs ready on those phones to comment your
- 3:23thoughts with what, with what Jen is saying in the
- 3:28conversation that I had with her earlier.
- 3:30I really, really, really want to hear your thoughts on this.
- 3:34But I'm coming around to the idea that this was not a botched
- 3:37burglary, that this was not a ransom.
- 3:42This probably, I think had something to do with either
- 3:47Nancy or her children. Like this was this was a get
- 3:54even kind of a thing. Like that's what it kind of
- 3:58feels like to me at this point. Let's see who is checking in.
- 4:03We got Salisbury, Tennessee in the house.
- 4:06Thank you very much. We've got Seattle or Saint Louis
- 4:10near Heavenly Mountain watching from the Garden State.

- 5:16Jersey coast is here. Did they do a blood analysis on
- 5:21the sidewalk? Blood?
- 5:22Couldn't they identify if it was her nose, mouth, or somewhere
- 5:24else? I don't think that they can
- 5:26identify where the blood originated in the body.
- 5:30I, I, maybe I'm wrong on that, but I, I think they did do an
- 5:38analysis and found that that was her blood.

- 7:00There we go. Please remember to put GF in
- 7:04your comments while if you want me to read the comment here on

- 7:13ahead and get it on. Get it started.
- 7:16Like to welcome Jennifer Coffin Daffer back to the program for
- 7:19the second time. It's been a while.
- 7:20Jen, welcome back. Thanks for coming.
- 7:24It has. It's been a while.
- 7:25We did such a fun show. When I say fun, it was involved
- 7:30all about Ellen Greenberg. I don't know if you remember
- 7:32that. That was back in the day.
- 7:34Oh my goodness, yeah. That that show was great, I
- 7:38think because just trying to bring light to her situation and
- 7:44you did such a great job of really opening up that door and
- 7:49many of us ran right through it and, you know, as soon as we
- 7:53bought the case. Well, I'm, I'm glad that so many
- 7:55people did. I can't claim to be the OG on
- 7:58that one. That belongs to Stephanie Farr
- 8:00at the Philadelphia Inquirer. She was the one that really got
- 8:02it going. And when I started research, I
- 8:04really leaned heavily on her. So I'm glad that so many people
- 8:08kind of picked up that torch and ran with it.
- 8:10I just I just talked with with Sandy yesterday.
- 8:14She had just had her 70th birthday and was celebrating.
- 8:17It's anyway special, special family.
- 8:20Hey, so the nation is captivated right now.
- 8:23Buy this case out of Tucson. The missing grandmother, 84 year
- 8:28old Nancy Guthrie. She happens to be the mother of
- 8:31Savannah Guthrie who is the Co host of NB CS Today show.
- 8:35Which I'm sure. Is is the reason that so so many
- 8:39of us started watching this in the 1st place?
- 8:41But once we got to know the case, this one's a doozy, is it
- 8:45not? It really is.
- 8:47I mean, I think the reason it's captivating is a everyone has a
- 8:52grandma, everyone has somebody they know that is elderly.
- 8:56And to think that you could get snatched out of your bed like
- 8:59this is just, I think for all of us.
- 9:02But then you add to it this mystery, this is really becoming
- 9:07such a whodunit as different people were exonerated or, you
- 9:12know, cleared, as law enforcement put it.
- 9:15And now we we really have a whodunit here.
- 9:19So I want to talk to you a little bit about maybe some of
- 9:22the techniques that the FBI, as a retired FBI agent, you would
- 9:27have insight on to this. I want to, I want to talk a
- 9:29little bit about what the FBI might be doing here.
- 9:32And I wonder if we could start with talking about the
- 9:35relationship between federal investigators and state and
- 9:38local investigators, how that typically works.
- 9:41I think that the media, some of us in the media, have kind of
- 9:46tried to play a little bit of, you know, one against the other.
- 9:51I'm curious what your thoughts are on how it appears that these
- 9:55two agencies, the Tucson County, the Pima County Sheriff's and
- 10:00and the FBI are working together.
- 10:03Well, it's been a little disappointing, quite frankly, to
- 10:05see social media and mainstream media in some instances just lop
- 10:10on this notion that they don't get along, that they are holding
- 10:16evidence from each other. I mean, there's really zero
- 10:19evidence of that. Yes, there's some source
- 10:21reporting. There's, you know, purportedly,
- 10:26you know, that there's issues, but this is what I know.
- 10:29What I know is that anytime you have a local jurisdiction who
- 10:33has primary venue for a case, which initially the Pima County
- 10:36Sheriff's Office did, and then you have the assistance of the
- 10:40FBI gets involved because they have so many resources, so many
- 10:44more bodies. Of course, there can become a
- 10:47situation where at some point does the FBI have primary
- 10:52jurisdiction. And in this case, because it's a
- 10:56kidnapping and under sub B of the kidnapping statute, it says
- 11:01that when a kidnapped victim has not been returned within 24
- 11:06hours of their kidnapping, it is actually presumed under law that
- 11:12they have been taken across state lines or international
- 11:15lines. I would say is would be included
- 11:18in this case. So therefore, now you have the
- 11:21FBI saying we've got 100 agents on this.
- 11:24We have the full force of our analysts on this deal.
- 11:29We really need to be running the show.
- 11:32And I I think that also the taxing nature of having all
- 11:37these Pima County Sheriff's Office officers running down
- 11:40leads and not doing their normal duties.
- 11:43Just think of the robberies, the burglaries, the Duis, domestic
- 11:49violence cases that normally you would have a full staff to do
- 11:52that are doing this. And I think it was.
- 11:55It did become a matter of resources.
- 11:58And it makes a lot of sense that the Bureau, I believe, is
- 12:01overseeing this now in a task force setting with, of course,
- 12:04Pima County heavily involved. Now we keep seeing.
- 12:07Sheriff. Chris Nanos on, you know,
- 12:10different interviews, different networks, different legacy media
- 12:14outlets. Do you think that's helpful to
- 12:18the case? What?
- 12:19Why do you think he's doing that?
- 12:22Well, look, a sheriff is an elected official.
- 12:25And at the end of the day, sheriff's want to get their face
- 12:29out there. They want their constituency to
- 12:31know they're on top of the case, they're involved, they're they
- 12:34have transparency, right? It's different than the Bureau.
- 12:38The Bureau really answers to no one.
- 12:40And the Bureau does not care what the public thinks.
- 12:44At the end of the day, Cash Patel every once in a while gets
- 12:47up and raises the flag about something.
- 12:49On this one. He said, listen, it was our
- 12:51agents. I'm not even sure he mentioned
- 12:53Google that found out, you know, found the video and the
- 12:58photographic evidence from that Nest camera.
- 13:01I think they worked in conjunction with Google to make
- 13:03that happen. But nevertheless, you will see
- 13:06these spurts of, you know, the director appearing, but you will
- 13:10not see case agents appearing talking about their case.
- 13:15Look at Gabby Petito. You never saw press conferences
- 13:19or anything like that, but you did hear local authorities talk.
- 13:23Same with the Idaho 4. Every week the local authorities
- 13:27talked, if not more than that. They issued cleared lists,
- 13:31remember, and they would add to them each week so everybody knew
- 13:34who was cleared. They finally got, I believe,
- 13:37$1,000,000 grant to hire a public information firm because
- 13:42they were mucking up the case so much.
- 13:44Just because they might be a good sheriff or a good chief,
- 13:48but that doesn't mean they're a good communicator.
- 13:51I'm going to pause it right here and just kind of break in for a
- 13:54second. I think Jennifer's commentary on
- 13:57this is spot on. And obviously I'm going to say
- 13:59that because I agree with it, because we've talked about that
- 14:02here on the channel. Sheriff Nanos is a politician.
- 14:05He's an elected an elected official and it is in his best
- 14:09interest. To be front and Center for his
- 14:13constituents so that they. So that they see him as doing
- 14:18something in the case. But is that the right thing to
- 14:23do? I think that there's an argument
- 14:25that could be made that it's a good thing to do.
- 14:28And we talked about this here in a second with Jen.
- 14:30There's also an argument to be made that it is a bad idea.
- 14:35But but yeah, she's she's absolutely spot on on this.
- 14:39Let's continue. And they needed a professional
- 14:41in there. And once they did that, things
- 14:43really got cleaned up there. And in this case, I think what
- 14:47we see now that are going to frustrate people even more is a
- 14:50full shift to the FBI. That means you're not going to
- 14:52hear anything, nothing. It's going to be crickets other
- 14:56than what Chief Nanos decides to come forward and say, which two
- 14:59days ago he was on and he dropped a lot of interesting
- 15:03Nuggets. But to your point, is it
- 15:05helpful? Is it not helpful?
- 15:07Look, it depends on what vantage.
- 15:10If you're coming from his vantage, it's going to be
- 15:12helpful because he's trying to be somewhat transparent.
- 15:16And I think to people like you and I, it's good to have some
- 15:20idea of where things are. The problem is, I think the
- 15:24trust in Nanos has really dissipated.
- 15:27Yeah, I I also think that there is some value in having the case
- 15:32stay in the public's attention, be part of the zeitgeist that
- 15:36we're living through. I think that more eyeballs
- 15:39looking for Nancy. She is in somebody's
- 15:42neighborhood or in somebody's area and she and the people that
- 15:45have have taken her have transited through places that
- 15:49are, you know, that are populated and people have
- 15:52security cameras and stuff like that.
- 15:54So I do think that there's probably a benefit to the case.
- 15:57Actually, the Gabby potato case is an is a terrific example of
- 16:00this. I think that the Schmidts and
- 16:02the potatoes with the help of, I mean, I don't, I don't know what
- 16:07professional help they had, but they, I think they had it just
- 16:10just just in kind of tearing apart as a Monday morning
- 16:15quarterback just how well they did and keeping the case alive,
- 16:19right. So, and the fact that we've got
- 16:23Savannah Guthrie on this, a seasoned journalist, seasoned
- 16:26commentator and member of the media.
- 16:28She's she's doing a terrific job.
- 16:29I think I, I don't want to call him stunts and because that
- 16:34minimizes what it is. But they are they're planned
- 16:38right When she and her brother and sister went out in front of
- 16:41the house to the little makeshift memorial, You know,
- 16:46the cynic and me would call that a stunt.
- 16:47But that keeps the cameras rolling.
- 16:49It keeps the eyes of of the world on it keeps makes it more
- 16:54likely, I think that that somebody will see something and
- 16:58say something eventually. What do you think?
- 17:01Well, I will say this because I believe they are getting ready
- 17:06to go back and and take possession of the house from
- 17:09everything we've seen, we've seen a locksmith out there,
- 17:12we've seen the new security system put in, we've seen
- 17:18additional cameras. We've seen a lot of you know,
- 17:22and they've actually come forth and said they're trying to get
- 17:25it back in the hands of the family, right, which makes all
- 17:28the sense in the world. But to your .100%, the more
- 17:36people that see action and see Savannah and and see those
- 17:41poignant moments are going to be more interested because as
- 17:46things get, and I'll call it this, that that case is red hot.
- 17:50There's nothing cold about it. But as it gets sort of cold in
- 17:54the media, meaning the media is losing interest because they
- 17:58don't have any Nuggets to report, it's important to keep
- 18:02Savannah's face, Annie, Tommaso, you know, some Cameron, some
- 18:08interest in this case in the public view, even if it's just
- 18:11sentimental and not factual or helping solve the case.
- 18:16Yeah, OK. Now the, the main reason I
- 18:19wanted to have you on is to is to just talk to you about maybe
- 18:23trying to get inside the mind of abductors on this.
- 18:26This just seems like a strange case to me where it, it looks
- 18:30like there's a what, 4547 minute time frame where I guess we
- 18:37would call them perpetrators went to Nancy's house.
- 18:40They spent that time with her. We've seen some evidence in
- 18:43terms of blood spatter or blood droplets on the on the front
- 18:50porch, even the weirdness of where the the holster was
- 18:58positioned on like it was an it was an outside appendix carry.
- 19:01It was the strangest thing, right?
- 19:03I'm trying to get into the mind of of these abductors.
- 19:08Was this always kind of a ransom thing or was it or, or was the
- 19:14ransom, you know, imitators and people trying to just throw
- 19:19investigators off? I mean, what does what is the
- 19:21FBI and what do investigators do from the beginning on this when
- 19:25we've got just such a strange case?
- 19:27It first of all, it's weird to have an 84 year old woman taken
- 19:30from her house, right? This is this is just strange all
- 19:33the way around. If we could get into the mind of
- 19:36of the abductors of the perpetrators here, what are some
- 19:39of the things that you would do to do that?
- 19:42Well, first of all, you're right, this is a huge outlier.
- 19:45In fact, I was able to find another case that actually just
- 19:49occurred, also of an 80 year old woman in South Carolina who was
- 19:52kidnapped, taken, and then murdered several hours later.
- 19:55That abductor spent over an hour in her house, ate pizza, left
- 20:00his DNA all over that. But that was a bit different
- 20:03because that case was actually that abductor ended up stealing
- 20:07a van before going to her house. The van broke down.
- 20:12And so this was a crime of opportunity.
- 20:14He went into her garage to steal her car and was confronted,
- 20:18ended up abducting her after I said he spent over an hour with
- 20:22her, took her, drove her across state lines, then back over into
- 20:26South Carolina and then put a bullet in the back of her head.
- 20:29So, but he was not masked, you know, he wasn't covered.
- 20:34He knew that she could identify him.
- 20:36So that was in some ways, when I first saw it, I thought, Oh my
- 20:41God, this is the case. This is the case that's going to
- 20:43help me with motive. But obviously it doesn't help us
- 20:46with motive because this was not a burglary.
- 20:49It's so interesting because now I think as the days go by, we
- 20:53can say what this is not, What this is not is a burglary gone
- 20:57bad. You would not burglarize this 84
- 21:00year old woman. You burglarize in the day.
- 21:03You burglarize when you can get away with it.
- 21:05You go in, you go out. You don't have a full backpack.
- 21:09There was nothing about this that smelled of a burglary.
- 21:14That's out in in my book. Secondarily, you look at the
- 21:18ransom situation. Well, that ransom note came in
- 21:21three days later. It wasn't given to the family.
- 21:25It was given to the media, which is the last place.
- 21:28If you are a true gang banger, cartel member, abductor, it's
- 21:32the last place you wanted to go. You want your communications to
- 21:35be with the family early on, at the precipice of their grief and
- 21:41surprise, and you want to make it easy to get that payout.
- 21:46They didn't do that. They did this.
- 21:48Whoever did the ransom was for sensationalism.
- 21:51They went to two local stations 12 hours later when they weren't
- 21:54getting the play they wanted in the media.
- 21:57That I think is what they desired.
- 21:58They went to TMZ knowing of course, TMZ is going to
- 22:03completely use this and which they did.
- 22:06And so they got what they wanted.
- 22:08But that's. So what does that say about the
- 22:10the people who are the ransomers?
- 22:13I mean, why is it that they want that sensationalism out there?
- 22:16Oh, these people, the ransomers that did this, remember there
- 22:21were two different ransom demands. 1 was by an individual
- 22:25that actually text messaged Tommaso and Annie directly.
- 22:30He was caught easily and was arrested, charged with a federal
- 22:35offense, and then was out within a few, you know, very short
- 22:39period of time I believe on a $20,000 bond, which really means
- 22:432000 at which bondsman. So anyway, I didn't even think
- 22:47that they took that seriously enough.
- 22:49But this one, gosh, Gavin, you know what it says the these
- 22:54people wanted to torture Savannah and her family.
- 22:59That's what it tells me when you see something like this.
- 23:02This was very emotional and I've seen it in other cases.
- 23:06There was a huge case in Fort Worth, TX similar where you
- 23:11actually do these types of acts because you have enjoyment in
- 23:15dangling, you know the the strings like a puppeteer of the
- 23:20victims and making them react to these horrible things you do.
- 23:25Wow, that is horrifying. So in your opinion, do you think
- 23:31that the people that are asking for the ransom and the people
- 23:34who actually took Nancy Guthrie are the same people or what's
- 23:38the likelihood there? Well, it's interesting.
- 23:41I've thought a lot about this and all I can figure out for
- 23:45sure is that they both had the same goal.
- 23:48In my opinion, the minute that the Sheriff's Office cleared the
- 23:53family, meaning not only the children but their spouses, we
- 23:58saw a whole different turn, Which I have to tell you, it
- 24:00never really made any sense that the family would be involved.
- 24:04Savannah Guthrie doesn't need any money.
- 24:07Her, Annie and Tommaso, they look at the amount of money they
- 24:12would get. Cameron doesn't need any money.
- 24:15Look at the amount of money they would get.
- 24:16We know she owns a just over $1,000,000 home that she's had
- 24:2150 years. So probably huge equity,
- 24:23$1,000,000 equity. Well, anybody who's sold a home
- 24:26knows 6% to the Realtors plus taxes plus blah blah blah.
- 24:32And then you have to divide whatever's left out of that.
- 24:35So let's just say $800,000 is left divided by three.
- 24:40Yeah, the the incentive really is really isn't there, is it?
- 24:44No. And life insurance, no 84 year
- 24:46old woman on a fixed income with grown children who have their
- 24:50own careers, their own lives, They're not going to be spending
- 24:53money every, you know, month on a life insurance policy to pay
- 24:58out the kids. The kids are established.
- 25:01So that never made much sense. But it does make a lot of sense
- 25:07that whoever did this was close in some way is angry.
- 25:12Some sort of retribution, some sort of.
- 25:15And it doesn't have to be real. It can be like a Hinckley, you
- 25:20know, this imagined love affair with Jodie Foster.
- 25:24Look at me. I'm going to kill the president
- 25:26to make you love me. It doesn't make any.
- 25:30But I am going to do this. I'm going to kidnap.
- 25:33And you know what? You're going to notice.
- 25:35You're going to know. I'm going to dangle you from my
- 25:37strings with your grief. Every day I get to watch you.
- 25:42I'm just leaning toward that because I can't find a monetary
- 25:45reason. So I mean, that's what this is,
- 25:49these are the kinds of thought exercises that investigators are
- 25:52going through right now, right? Like I, I, I know that in court,
- 25:55for example, you don't need to prove motive in, in these cases,
- 26:00right? If they were to find the person
- 26:02and prosecute the person, they don't need to prove motive.
- 26:05It's not, it's not a, you know, it's not required by the law.
- 26:09However, I think in the investigative process, it's
- 26:12super valuable to try to figure out, you know, who the person is
- 26:17based on why they would do this sort of crime.
- 26:21And it's such a strange crime. When you were talking about that
- 26:23other one, that was a crime of opportunity.
- 26:26He needed a van. She was there, saw his face.
- 26:29That's this was somebody coming up to the front door, masked,
- 26:33full backpack, armed. And actually, let me ask you
- 26:37this, the in my opinion, it doesn't seem like one person can
- 26:42get away with with an adult 84 year old woman.
- 26:46I mean, if you've ever seen videos online of just a regular
- 26:50person trying to carry dead weight, that's actually kind of
- 26:53hard, right? So I've always thought that this
- 26:55is probably is multiple people. But I'm untrained.
- 26:58I'm just a I'm just a chubby guy in western Pennsylvania.
- 27:01I have no idea about this, right?
- 27:02So what? What do you think?
- 27:04Do you think this is more than one person?
- 27:08I always have said I believed it was, and I think that's because
- 27:13of the need really for a driver. And then what are you going to
- 27:17do afterwards, whether she's alive or not alive, If she's
- 27:22alive and you truly plan to keep her for some period of time,
- 27:25who's going to handle all of that?
- 27:27I mean, you can't be 24/7. You got to feed, you got to
- 27:31handle. So this is a 2 man job.
- 27:34And back to your point about carrying weight around like
- 27:37that, that's not cooperating. That's not walking.
- 27:40I actually did a video on that, how difficult it is.
- 27:44I'm 110 lbs, I'm 5 foot 1 3/4, not even 52.
- 27:51And my husband stuffed me into a gigantic oversized black trash
- 27:56bag. He could get me in there, but
- 27:58then picking me up to put me into a trunk.
- 28:01And he's 175 out every day, you know, 5 foot 10, five foot 11.
- 28:09It's not like he's a huge guy. But my point in doing this is
- 28:13how difficult it is without having at least a second person
- 28:18to manipulate a body. And so to your point, the other
- 28:24thing is, and and I've pointed this out and there's a lot of
- 28:28you know, some people see it, some people don't, but I see a
- 28:32two way radio slash walkie-talkie in the pocket,
- 28:35what I'm making out as a square and then an antenna protruding.
- 28:40This was over a week ago. It was such an epiphany to me
- 28:44when I when I saw it and I was cutting this up with some of the
- 28:49people from my team. I'm like, Oh my gosh, this is an
- 28:53epiphany because you don't have two reasons.
- 28:56You don't have a two way radio. Let me just break in here real
- 29:00quick. I I need a reminder from Javi.
- 29:03Javi, remind me to let's take a look at the pictures after we've
- 29:06finished this with Jen and see if we can find what she says she
- 29:11saw, which was like a square outline in a pocket and maybe an
- 29:15antenna coming out. I'd like to see if we can also
- 29:18see maybe a two way radio. It's Javi's responsibility.
- 29:22Everybody let Javi succeed or fail.
- 29:27He's doing he's doing great as a producer, by the way.
- 29:29Talkie, talkie if you don't have somebody to communicate with.
- 29:34And secondarily, could this be why it's taking forever to solve
- 29:41this case because you don't have cell phones, so the geofence was
- 29:45useless because you're using and it also showed the
- 29:49sophistication. So is it possible that this was
- 29:54a hired crew hired by the person with the real vendetta?
- 29:59Absolutely. OK.
- 30:03We talked about financial motive as far as you know, reflecting
- 30:08back on the family, that financial motive isn't there.
- 30:10But if but for anybody else asking for 1,000,000 bucks, that
- 30:14is kind of life changing money, right?
- 30:16So what do you think the motive is here?
- 30:18Do you think that there is an imaginary motive?
- 30:21Maybe they're mad at Savannah and they're getting after her,
- 30:25through her, her loved one. Or it could be something as.
- 30:29Well, it just doesn't seem like it's going to be something.
- 30:31Small and slight. If they have two way radios and
- 30:34they're working to stay, you know, to hide their digital
- 30:40forensic footprint, right? What?
- 30:43What do you think? What do you think the motive is
- 30:44here? Do you think it's money?
- 30:46Well the reason I don't think it's money is because there was
- 30:50never a legitimate ransom demand, only one that went to
- 30:57the media and it was 3 days late.
- 30:59It was after law enforcement was crawling all over it.
- 31:02This. This is not how the cartels
- 31:04operate or how anyone making a ransom demand would operate.
- 31:08And also, I would argue that anyone who has made the decision
- 31:13to kidnap an 84 year old has made a decision to kill the 84
- 31:17year old because the 84 year old, the chances of them
- 31:21surviving such a situation picked up, likely thrown in a
- 31:25trunk with heart problems with a pacemaker.
- 31:29I mean, and I think that the person well knew who this was
- 31:33and issues they had doesn't make a lot of sense.
- 31:36It makes more sense to me that the motive was not really
- 31:40abduction, but was probably more likely hurting her and hurting
- 31:45this family. Now, who is the target of the
- 31:48wrath? Is it Savannah, is it Annie and
- 31:52Tomasso? Have they upset somebody?
- 31:55Has Cameron, you know, the military man, is he somehow we
- 32:00don't know or was it Nancy herself?
- 32:02Remember, Nancy is extremely political and and we know the
- 32:09craziness that I, I tell you one of my sisters and one of my
- 32:16brothers became very estranged, not just not because of politics
- 32:20exactly, but because they are very, very, very left when it
- 32:26comes to politics. And I stay out of politics.
- 32:30But I do have right leaning philosophies like about
- 32:34immigration and about crime. I think when you've committed a
- 32:38violent crime, you should be kept in jail.
- 32:40I don't think you should be able to bond out.
- 32:43So we have very different feelings on some of that.
- 32:47And I tell you, it took a long time for us to come back to
- 32:50center and say, listen, you can have differences, don't need to
- 32:54hate each other. And so you wonder about that.
- 32:57You're right, we do live in a time where like I've told people
- 33:00on my channel, I've got in my church congregation 2 guys that
- 33:04have known each other for like 5560 years have been friends
- 33:07this whole time until like the last couple years.
- 33:09Now they just won't even talk to each other.
- 33:12And that's just that's just an indication of kind of where we
- 33:15are. And I keep my show politics free
- 33:18specifically because everybody has their their opinion right
- 33:23and and I love everybody right, left and center.
- 33:26But we do live in a place or at or in a time where we really are
- 33:31bifurcated. So.
- 33:33These are the. Questions I'm sure that the
- 33:35investigators are asking, right? Who is the actual target here?
- 33:40And yeah, your thought about anybody willing to take an 84
- 33:43year old grandmother with heart problems is also willing to kill
- 33:48her for sure. That rings completely true to
- 33:50me. So what, We're four weeks?
- 33:53We're more than four weeks. This happened on her.
- 33:56She was last. Seen on January 31st.
- 33:59So we're well into the 5th week on this.
- 34:02What are investigators doing now?
- 34:03What are steps that they're trying to do now?
- 34:06Well, the biggest steps they're doing are trying to evaluate a
- 34:09lot of this video surveillance. They're trying to find vehicles
- 34:14that are passing by this area that were at the Circle K as an
- 34:18example, or the lights that were in and around her neighborhood.
- 34:23They are poring over that. And that is tedious.
- 34:26It's difficult. It's going to take dozens of
- 34:28analysts a long time to be able to second by second go through
- 34:32that footage from this general time frame.
- 34:37In addition, they're going to be looking over everything that was
- 34:40said by witnesses. And remember, there were at
- 34:43least two canvases done not only in Nancy's neighborhood, but in
- 34:46Annie's neighborhood. And of course, I believe that's
- 34:49because she could have been followed.
- 34:52Tomasso and Nancy could have been followed from that area.
- 34:55I mean, if anybody was studying and casing the movements of
- 35:00Nancy looking for the perfect time to commit this crime as now
- 35:05we know from source information, which I'm always hesitant about
- 35:08source information, but it's sort of backed up in a couple of
- 35:12ways. Because these two photos that we
- 35:15saw in one photo we see darkness in the background and in the
- 35:20other photo, the day of the crime on the 1st, we see very
- 35:24bright background. When you look at that, it shows
- 35:27me a moon difference because this was in a light pollution
- 35:31free neighborhood. So that moon difference as an
- 35:35example on the first was a full moon, 100% moonlight was
- 35:41available. And in a neighborhood like that
- 35:43with no light pollution, it's like a flashlight shining down.
- 35:46I can speak to this because I lived in one and it's crazy.
- 35:50You walk outside and it's like it Dances with Wolves scene.
- 35:53You look up and it's a black sky with sparkles, which you don't
- 35:58see unless you live in one of these neighborhoods.
- 36:00Yet in the other photo that again they're saying is a
- 36:03different day, intimating that this he, this person surveilled
- 36:08and gave it a test run. In that photo, it's very dark in
- 36:13the background. And then there was a lot of
- 36:16questions about January 11th because they went, investigators
- 36:19went out and asked for additional to everybody to take
- 36:23a look. See from the 11th, if you look
- 36:25at that, that's a waning Crescent moon in Tucson that
- 36:29day, which means very little light.
- 36:32So there were a couple of factors.
- 36:34The other thing I noticed is the shoes were different on both of
- 36:37those days. And there's there's some
- 36:40differences there, but I'm not ruling out that it possibly
- 36:45could be the same day and two different people.
- 36:47Lots of crimes where people dress alike purposefully.
- 36:52We saw it with the bank robbers, the Hollywood bank robbers in
- 36:55California, remember they had that big shootout with the LAPD
- 36:59were shot multiple times. They dressed alike.
- 37:01Look at Klebold and Harris, look at there was a big train heist
- 37:06that was done. They all dressed alike.
- 37:08There was a jewelry heist. They all dressed alike.
- 37:11So you can imagine, I'm telling you, if I did a crime like this,
- 37:15I would insist we all dress alike because then who's really
- 37:19responsible for what part? It would make it so difficult to
- 37:23be proven. Yeah, Matt, I appreciate your
- 37:27insights. Jen, this is this has been I'm,
- 37:31I'm deeply grateful for it for my audience who don't know, like
- 37:33I just reached out to you a couple hours ago and you were
- 37:36willing to come on and I really appreciate that.
- 37:40Where can where can people find you?
- 37:44So I'm at on Twitter X at Coffin Daffer FBI and that I would say
- 37:50is my largest platform. And then I also have a podcast
- 37:53called Break the Case with Jen Coffin Daffer a nice It's a
- 37:57small audience. We're growing about 37,000
- 38:01subscribers. Would love to have anybody
- 38:04interested subscribe. We do morning shows every
- 38:07morning at about 8:00, somewhere between 8:00 and 8:30.
- 38:10Just a short show on Nancy Guthrie Right now is where we're
- 38:13concentrating. Awesome.
- 38:15I will put a link in the description below so people can
- 38:17find you. Thank you very much for joining
- 38:19me. Jennifer Coffendafer, retired
- 38:21FBI. Those are some great insights.
- 38:23Thanks, Jen. Thank you.
- 38:26And indeed, I did put the link down below to her ex profile and
- 38:32to her break the case pod or channel here on YouTube.
- 38:37So you guys can check that out. And if you're listening on
- 38:40Spotify, I'll put those links in Spotify as well.
- 38:43By the way, if you are on Spotify, that is a great way to
- 38:46support the channel just by following me there.
- 38:51What's that? Javi, Javi, Javi.
- 38:56Javi reminded me. Javi reminded me.
- 39:00Good job, Javier. Let's see if we can see a two
- 39:04way radio in these images at all.
- 39:11Like AI don't know. I don't know.
- 39:17It's it's hard to tell. It is hard.
- 39:20These are the two different times, right?
- 39:25No, no, no, that one was in a different time.
- 39:27It was this one that was a different time.
- 39:30There is there does seem to be something in his right pocket in
- 39:34this in this one. Not sure about a walkie-talkie
- 39:39though. It just be very difficult for me
- 39:41to tell. Just be very difficult for me to
- 39:43tell. However, if, if, if you're smart
- 39:48as a criminal, which we know you're not because you're a
- 39:52criminal, but if you're on the smart end of the criminal
- 39:55spectrum, now they're brilliant criminals.
- 39:58We just don't know about those. The ones that the ones that we
- 40:01know about are the ones that are dumb.
- 40:03But anyway, not having a cellular digital footprint
- 40:09anywhere near the crime scene and not having it be out of the
- 40:13ordinary for you would, yeah. Would be would be pretty smart.
- 40:21It would definitely be pretty smart.
- 40:22Let's see if there are any comments.
- 40:24Oh, I did. I did start a poll on this.
- 40:29Just wondering what you guys think.
- 40:33Do we think that Nancy Guthrie is still alive?
- 40:364% of you say yes, 32 say I hope so and 64 say sadly no.
- 40:42So 96% of us, I think that Nancy Guthrie is probably no longer on
- 40:48this mortal coil. I think, Yeah, I think that
- 40:54probably there's no more than a 4% chance that she is, which is
- 40:58just terrible and horrible. But at 84 years old, going
- 41:05through the gauntlet of being taken from your home in the
- 41:10middle of the night, leaving blood on the doorstep, I, I
- 41:14just, I can't imagine that that's something that she would
- 41:17have survived, though. I'm with you.
- 41:19I hope so. I really deeply hope so.
- 41:24Let's see if there are any more comments that you guys want me
- 41:27to see. Let's see there a couple more
- 41:31that you didn't necessarily put GF on, but they're good
- 41:34comments. Love Miss Jen, though.
- 41:35I do think she's putting way too much confidence on those photos
- 41:38videos as far as how dark or light it is.
- 41:41Yeah. Miss Courtney said Nancy was
- 41:46very open on her political views on her Facebook.
- 41:50Yep. Mooney trying to meet that goal.
- 41:53I think that's number five. We're close.
- 41:56We're close and we've got some. We got some time left,
- 41:59everybody. We got some time.
- 42:00And thank you so much for for taking care of me like that.
- 42:04Is there a state or National Park near Nancy's house?
- 42:08Asks Beth. Let's see southern AZ national
- 42:14parks. Let's see if there are.
- 42:21Seguaro National Park is out there, Oregon Pipe Cactus
- 42:30National Monument, Chitikawa National Monument.
- 42:34Let's see if there are any state parks, Southern Arizona State
- 42:40parks. Let's see.
- 42:43There's catch near Cabin State Park and Patagonia Lake State
- 42:48Park down there in southern Arizona.
- 42:50I don't know if that helps Beth, but but it appears that there
- 42:53are some Autumn says. Just looked up the moon phase
- 42:57for January 31st. It was 96 to 98% full.
- 43:00So she's probably so it was probably bright out as far as
- 43:05you know relative to what is normal.
- 43:08Fig Finder Savannah Guthrie gives weird vibes on interviews.
- 43:12I I don't know if you we can put much stock in that though.
- 43:16I mean, I I would be acting weird too.
- 43:22I would be acting weird too. Emmy 53.
- 43:26Everyone is speculating so it can.
- 43:27So it can also be a Taser, even in the holster.
- 43:31Could be a Taser, not a gun. Let's let's go back to some of
- 43:37these images right here. Yeah, I think it's possible,
- 43:41though of course, I'm no expert and I don't think a gun expert
- 43:50could even say with any degree of certainty.
- 43:54But to me that does look like a Ruger.
- 43:58That looks like a Ruger little 22 with the with the size of the
- 44:02slide and everything. Plus it's all completely black.
- 44:06So could it be a Taser? Well, I mean, this is a infrared
- 44:11night vision, right? So possibly, possibly, let's
- 44:19see. Yeah, we are speculating it is
- 44:22true, Miss Courtney says I wake up every morning and hopefully
- 44:26to find out she's safe. I'm thank you for sharing that
- 44:29with us. Mills says there's definitely
- 44:34pics or video of the walkie-talkie, which I haven't,
- 44:37I haven't seen yet. Let me see if I can see
- 44:41anything. I, I see a kind of a zipper in
- 44:44that lower part of his sweatshirt or jacket, whatever
- 44:49you want to call it. Oh, hang on.
- 44:57There was a view there that let me come back to let's pause it
- 45:03right there. Hard to tell.
- 45:08Hard to tell. Yeah, hard to tell.
- 45:19I don't know. I don't know.
- 45:22You guys are all so terrific. Let's see.
- 45:28Yeah, The Grand Canyon is in Arizona.
- 45:30You're right. There's video on the mob crew
- 45:34channel. He did on the antenna.
- 45:36Don't want you to look silly. OK.
- 45:37Thank you, Elizabeth says glad you're back.
- 45:40Thank you very much for that, Elizabeth.
- 45:42I appreciate it. Let's bring Nancy's picture up
- 45:45since we're talking about her. All right, guys, I I really
- 45:49appreciate Jen for coming on go follow her on Twitter.
- 45:52Check out breaking the case with Jen coffin Daphra and I've got
- 45:56that LinkedIn the description down below.
- 45:59And now what time is it? What time is it?
- 46:04It's time for three questions. Let's get it all.
- 46:13All right, guys, in this segment, it's very simple.
- 46:18And Kimberly, my beloved, my snuggly bear, my squeezy pie, my
- 46:24everything. She tells me that I probably
- 46:26should narrow it down to one question.
- 46:29It's it's the question with Gavin Fish.
- 46:34Maybe I don't know. What do you guys think about
- 46:37that? I kind of like the three
- 46:38questions format, but my wife has never steered me wrong, has
- 46:45she? There was a house that we bought
- 46:48once that wasn't a good buy. But then again, this house
- 46:51wasn't necessarily goodbye either.
- 46:53So, you know, let's not hold that against her.
- 46:56Let's not she does not steer me wrong.
- 46:59Should it be the question with Gavin Fish or just should we
- 47:02stick with three questions with Gavin Fish?
- 47:05I will let you be the judge. In fact, you know what we're
- 47:08going to do, we are going to do. We're going to do a new poll.
- 47:14Let's end this poll here. Hopefully it'll end.
- 47:17What is going on? It doesn't want to end.
- 47:20End the poll. There we go.
- 47:23Let's do a new one. Oh, it won't let me do more than
- 47:27one. Oh, come on, man.
- 47:31All right, well, we'll do that in another in another live
- 47:33stream. Should we do the question with
- 47:35Gavin Fish with three questions for today, Obviously we're going
- 47:38to continue with three questions.
- 47:40If you would like to ask me a question, you can send it to
- 47:42three questions at gavinfish.com.
- 47:44Three questions at gavinfish.com spelled out THREE questions at
- 47:48gavinfish.com. And I will do my best to answer
- 47:52truthfully and completely, though I get to choose the order
- 47:56in which I answer them. I've got, I've got a pretty darn
- 47:58big spreadsheet right now. OK, question #1 let's get over
- 48:04there. Question number one is to go way
- 48:11back. Where do you think Jimmy Hoffa
- 48:13is buried or discarded underneath Giant Stadium, of
- 48:18course. Now I don't know.
- 48:20I think that I think that organized crime and mobsters
- 48:27were pretty darn good at disposing of bodies at the time.
- 48:33I think that Mister Hoffa, sadly or not, depending on what you
- 48:38thought of Mr. Hoffa though nobody should just should end
- 48:40their life that way. Probably was discarded in some
- 48:45sort of crematorium, makeshift crematorium.
- 48:52I think that in like still steel mills or some, some place where
- 48:59they have very, very, very hot kilns.
- 49:03I think that he was probably discarded there.
- 49:05That's my guess. That's my guess.
- 49:08But I think that will be a mystery for the ages.
- 49:11What was that show? Was that, was that Bruce
- 49:15Almighty where he found the body of Jimmy?
- 49:18Jimmy Hoffa, where do you think I like, I like your answers to
- 49:24these questions. By the way, where do you think
- 49:25Jimmy Hoffa was discarded? Question #2 do you have any
- 49:31interest in interviewing any of the perpetrators of crimes
- 49:34you've covered on this channel? And either way, why or why not?
- 49:38And what would you hope to get out of it?
- 49:41This is from Rhea, by the way, who asked the IT was Jude.
- 49:44The last question Rhea asks, do I, do I want to interview
- 49:48anybody that I've where I've covered their crime on this
- 49:51channel? Yeah.
- 49:54I would love to interview Antoine Garner.
- 49:59I would love. Antoine Garner is the person I
- 50:02think is most likely responsible for the death of Amanda
- 50:05Winkowski. You can find her case on my
- 50:08website, gavinfish.com. There's always a link down the
- 50:10description. I think I I would love to talk
- 50:18to Sam Goldberg and I would, I would be, I would be Keith
- 50:23Morrison about it. I would repeat back in like
- 50:28disbelieving and sarcastic ways his answers so you didn't murder
- 50:35Ellen Greenberg. And I would do something with my
- 50:38eyebrows. So you've lived with the guilt
- 50:44of killing Ellen Greenberg, have you?
- 50:46Oh, you say you haven't. Fascinating.
- 50:50I would love to just, I don't know, be a jerk to that guy
- 50:55'cause I think that he, it's just my opinion, right?
- 50:59But based on all the evidence that I've seen, I think it's
- 51:02reasonable to come to the opinion that Ellen Greenberg was
- 51:05not murdered and that he was the last person to see her.
- 51:09So there's that. What would I get out of it?
- 51:12Personal satisfaction. I don't think that I have any
- 51:15training in order to get any, any type of, you know, new
- 51:20information out of them that I didn't have before.
- 51:23Any type of confession. It would just be fascinating.
- 51:26Now, there are those that I am uninterested in talking to.
- 51:30I don't care to wits about Stephen Sterns.
- 51:35I think that he can just rot. I do not care about Barrymore
- 51:41few so many that I just I just do not care about what was his
- 51:48name. That was the oh, oh, the, the,
- 51:55the dill holes and idiots that that, you know, had the terrific
- 52:05idea of dropping an anvil out of their pickup truck to kill
- 52:10Veronica Butler and Jillian Kelly.
- 52:13I don't want to talk to them. I do not want to talk to the
- 52:17good pastor, the good pastor. JP Miller.
- 52:22No, I, I don't care about those folks.
- 52:24I don't. I don't care about Brian Walsh.
- 52:27Yeah, but I wouldn't mind talking to Antoine Garner and
- 52:32Sam Goldberg. I I wouldn't mind talking to
- 52:35them at all. Love to hear your thoughts on
- 52:37that. Last question for this segment
- 52:40is what's the Monique? The Monique?
- 52:42I've got Monique Tepi on the brain here.
- 52:45What's the most unique pet your family had when you were growing
- 52:49up as a kid? This is very easy to answer.
- 52:54The most unique pet we ever had growing up as a kid was a dog we
- 53:01didn't have in my childhood. We had two pets, Copper and
- 53:07Boomer, and Boomer was the son of Copper and that was it.
- 53:14Now our children can say differently.
- 53:17We've had rabbits, we've had chickens, we've had mice, we've
- 53:22had snakes, we've had parrots, we have had dogs, we have had
- 53:29cats. So my children can definitely I
- 53:35I think out of all the pets that we've had, maybe my favorite
- 53:42just in like having a pet was our house rabbit.
- 53:46I our first house rabbit, her name is Rosie.
- 53:51She was terrific. That was pretty cool, but we
- 53:54didn't have unique now we had animals that we cared for, right
- 53:59that we really loved. Like when I was when I was a
- 54:01kid, my brothers. My nickname to my brothers is
- 54:04I'm named after a cow that I particularly liked.
- 54:10That cow was the coolest animal. I loved her and spent many an
- 54:18hour upon her back riding her to the milk shed and back, or the
- 54:24milk barn and back. I loved that cow and yeah, not
- 54:31really a pet though, and not ours.
- 54:33That cow belonged to a neighbor farmer and I just happened to be
- 54:38an amazing cow Wrangler. No, she was awesome.
- 54:42She was the leader of the herd and she would not move past me
- 54:47until I hopped on her. Then off to the barn she would
- 54:50go and then as we traveled back down to to their field, she
- 54:59would not go any further until I hopped off in the same place
- 55:02where she picked me up every day.
- 55:03So yeah, that's I loved that cow.
- 55:08That was a great cow. All right, those are your three
- 55:13questions. Now why don't we head on into
- 55:17headlines while you answer those 3 questions?
- 55:25True crime. Headlines POW Okie dokie guys, I
- 55:28have kept my eye on the Cory Richens trial today.
- 55:33Let me let me bring that up on the screen.
- 55:36This from kutv.com written by Derek Fox and Brian Schnee.
- 55:41Attorneys focus on insurance policies, beneficiaries and
- 55:44murder trial against Cory Richens on this one.
- 55:47Unlike Nancy Guthrie, at least in the opinion of Jen
- 55:51Coffendaffer, this one is about money.
- 55:55Dateline Park City, UT life insurance policies and divorce
- 55:58were the topic of debate on Wednesday during the ongoing
- 56:02murder trial against Cory Richins, the Utah mother and
- 56:05children's book author. I think is what they meant to
- 56:08say. Accused of poisoning her husband
- 56:10with a lethal dose of fentanyl. Lethal meaning could kill a herd
- 56:14of elephants. Day eight of the five week
- 56:17murder trial started an hour later than usual with Judge
- 56:20Richard Mrazik telling the jury I appreciate your patience with
- 56:23my calendar. Once seated, state prosecutor
- 56:26started quickly. Excuse me.
- 56:30Oh, Gavin, you've got something just for this.
- 56:34There we go. There we go to cover up my
- 56:36yawns. It's not, it's not tiredness.
- 56:41It is. I'm not breathing properly,
- 56:43right? OK?
- 56:47Lashonda Rogers of New York Life Insurance Company to review life
- 56:51insurance policies. Rogers noted there was a
- 56:53beneficiary change on a policy belonging to Cody Wright, the
- 56:56business partner partner of Eric Richins.
- 56:59Corey Richins, late husband. The beneficiary change from Eric
- 57:04Richins to Corey Richins before going back to Eric?
- 57:09No, no, it went back to Cody. OK.
- 57:14Over the course of a few days in January 2022, Rogers said it
- 57:21appeared Corey was the one who had been managing the online
- 57:24activity since it was her e-mail being used.
- 57:27Defense attorneys, however, argued that anyone could have
- 57:29been making changes. Yeah, trying to plant those
- 57:32seeds of doubt using Corey Richard's e-mail and later
- 57:35confirmed that after all was said and done, no actual changes
- 57:38were made to the policy. Yeah.
- 57:40So it's all about the money with Miss Cory Richens.
- 57:45We will keep our eye on the case now, Emmy, you will be happy to
- 57:49hear. Yes, indeed.
- 57:52There was a hearing for Ashley Buzzard, but she was absent from
- 57:57the court hearing for the second time.
- 57:59According to katherineherdern@ksby.com.
- 58:03A Vandenberg Village mother charged with murdering her nine
- 58:06year old daughter last year was absent from her latest court
- 58:09hearing. Oh Dang it, OK.
- 58:15In a Lompoc courtroom Wednesday morning, it was stated Buzzard,
- 58:1840, had filed A refusal to appear due to being sick.
- 58:23It's the second time hearings of her case have been held without
- 58:26her being present. She was also absent from her
- 58:28hearing last month for the same reason.
- 58:33Santa Barbara County Superior Court Judge Stephen Dunkel told
- 58:36the court that if Buzzard does not show in her March 18th
- 58:39preliminary hearing setting, an extraction order will be issued
- 58:42which will give authorities permission to remove Buzzard
- 58:45from jail to attend court. In court, Buzzard's public
- 58:49defender also stated she is still waiting on additional
- 58:52evidence from the Department of Justice.
- 58:54So that is where we are on the Ashley Buzzard case.
- 58:59And there's more to the article. I'll put a link in the
- 59:02description. Last headline for the night that
- 59:05I want to bring to you is from the New York Daily News.
- 59:09They are quoting Newsweek, I believe.
- 59:11But I do like how they frame the article.
- 59:14So we're using this one written by Jamie Gans.
- 59:17Headline says Reiners were warned not to let Nick live at
- 59:21home before the murders Jamie Wright's Rob Reiner and Michelle
- 59:26Singer Reiner were cautioned against having their adult son
- 59:29Nick living in their home shortly before authorities say
- 59:31he killed his parents in cold blood, according to a new
- 59:36report. Dang it Gavin OK.
- 59:40The 32 year old middle child of the late couple who also shared
- 59:43son Jake 3428 year old daughter Romy pleaded not guilty last
- 59:47month to two counts of first degree murder in the December 14
- 59:50deaths of the When Harry Met Sally director 78 and 70 year
- 59:54old photographer quote. The medical staff warned Rob and
- 59:58Michelle not to let Nick live at home until he got his medication
- 1:00:01straightened out. A source told Oh not not
- 1:00:04Newsweek Us Weekly in this week's cover story.
- 1:00:08In addition to battling substance abuse since his
- 1:00:10teenage years, Nick, who is staying in his parents guest
- 1:00:13house at the time of the killings.
- 1:00:15It was in a mental health conservatorship from 2020 to
- 1:00:172021. He's reportedly been diagnosed
- 1:00:20with schizophrenia or schizophrenic disorder, blah,
- 1:00:24blah, blah. And we've we've covered the case
- 1:00:27at length here on the channel. If that is the case, that
- 1:00:31medical staff did indeed tell Robin Michelle that he shouldn't
- 1:00:36live at home, then that just makes it all the more tragic.
- 1:00:40And those, my friends, are your headlines.
