  Speaker 1: Hi, guys, Welcome to a new episode of Legally Brunette.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: I will be your host Emily Simpson and Shane Just Shane.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Today we are going to discuss breaking news that Nancy
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Guthrie is missing, story which I'm sure you've all heard
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: about unless you've been living under a rock, because it's
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: basically everywhere. So we would just want to talk about
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: where we're at. There's been so much information that's been
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: coming out. Every time I look at what is my
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: new source, Instagram, Instagram. Every time I look at Instagram,
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: there's just a new update. And there was a press
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: conference today a couple hours ago. So I feel as
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: if we are bringing you the most recent developments. But
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: by the time we record this they'll probably they'll probably
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: be more. We'll be talking about it again. So eighty
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: four year old Nancy Guthrie is the mother of Today
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: co host Savannah Guthrie, and she remains missing from her
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Tucson area home. Authorities continue to treat the case as
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a criminal investigation. Investigators recently returned to her property, conducting
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: renewed searches with canine units and combing nearby wooded areas,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: indicating new or ongoing leads. Law enforcement says evidence at
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the home suggests that she was taken against her will,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: including biological DNA and blood near the entry and signs
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of forced entry. No suspects or persons of interests have
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: been publicly identified, other than by what we were talking
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: about earlier by Ashley Banfield, but we'll talk about that
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: and a little bit. Authorities are investigating reports of ransom notes,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: some reportedly sent to media outlets. Savannah Guthrie and her
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: siblings released a public video appeal This was yesterday, asking
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: for proof of life and saying they are willing to
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: communicate if her mother is alive. I watched it. It
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: was actually heartbreaking. It was Samantha and her sister and brother.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: There's three siblings, and you know what I was thinking,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: is so difficult in today's age? Is proof of life?
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: I mean with AI.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: Well that's what they said in their video.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Right and I and I But when they said that,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: I thought that, how do I mean, at this point
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in time, how do you have proof of life? Because
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: you can manipulate voices. You could say she's on the
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: phone and it could be her voice.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But well, the old days used to be held up
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a newspaper and took a picture with it. So it
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: was like, this is the date. I'm alive on this day, right,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: But now, what are you going to do?
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I mean you there are.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: The time.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, Like, what in today's age, right now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: as of this moment, what could you do to prove
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: proof of life? Because I feel like everything could be.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Manipulated in or like a real time conversation, It.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Would have to be a real time FaceTime conversation where
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: you were asking, Well.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: You could ask him a question that only that person
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: would know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: That's true.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's what you would do.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, But I still feel like you would have to
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: have more than that because maybe these I don't know you, yeah, exactly.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Feel like what's your favorite song? And they'll be like, oh,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: it's I don't know what's your favorite? I don't know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And then I'd be like, I don't know, is that
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: her favorite song? Yeah? I think it's her hurt.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So authorities are investigating reports of ransom notes. We talked
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: about that talked about proof of life, and the FBI
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: is assisting and federal resources have been offered official stress
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: urgency because Nancy got three requires daily medication, increasing concern
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: for her health and safety. Yeah, she's eighty four, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we know that she has a pacemaker because that was
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: reported that you know, her pacemaker disconnected from her phone or.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Likely from being removed further away from her watch, her
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: phone or whatever it was, whatever device, and so it
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: lost contact, right and at almost two in the morning
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: or something.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Well, they released they did a press conference today, also
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: released a timeline. I looked at the timeline several times
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: because it's pretty specific, and I realized how much of
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: a digital age we live in that even her opening
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: the garage door and closing it like that was time
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: standing and then.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Her uber right, So it has drop off times, and.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: So we know on January thirty first, at five thirty
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: two pm, Nancy travels to a local family member's home.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: I believe that she had dinner with family that night.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Then at nine forty eight pm that night, this is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: still in January thirty first, the family drops Nancy off
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: at home and the garage door opens. So there's some
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: digital footprint of the garage door opening. How do you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: find that? Can you find that on your garage door?
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Like we have an electric garage door.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: I think it was her what time she got dropped off,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: and what time she closed the garage door.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: It was nine fifty But how do you how do
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: they know that? I'm saying they know specifically what time
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the garage door opened and what time it closed. I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: just saying, does the garage.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: R connected her phone? You know? Yeah?
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: So then at nine to fifty pm the garage door closes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Now the following morning, this is now February first, at
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: one seven am, a doorbell camera disconnects. That's scary. So
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: what that's a ring? Right? A ring camera?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it rings a brand, but it's a doorbell camera.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, And it disconnects. Then at two twelve am, software
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: detects a person on camera. However, there's no video available.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: To the Emotion subscription. IT'SID motion detected, but they didn't
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: preserve the video because they didn't they didn't subscribe.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Okay, we're going to come back to that because I
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: want you to explain that. And then at two twenty
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: eight am, the pacemaker app shows a disconnect from her phone,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: which you were saying. It's a disconnect at two twenty
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: eight because she's outside the realm of the bluetooth being
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: able to pick it up right, so she's probably.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Sad thinking and if she was killed right then and there,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: and therefore her heart's not beating, I'm guessing the pacemaker
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: still transmits some type of dat.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Some type of information, but it's not transmitting any information, So.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: She's outside not reaching the receiving end, yeah, like the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: phone or watch or whatever it is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Then at eleven fifty six am, the family checks on Nancy.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I believe that's because she was supposed to be at
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: church that morning and she didn't show up for church,
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: so then the family was they someone contacted the family
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and said, you know, Nancy wasn't at church, and then
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: at twelve oh three pm they called nine to one one,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and then at twelve fifteen that's when the police arrive.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: So that's the timeline. Now as far as the subscription, See,
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: this is what I don't understand because I'm not a
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: techie person at all, and you were just making fun
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: of me a minute ago saying that I don't even
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: know how to turn on a computer, which is not
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: an exaggeration. I literally don't know how to do anything
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: technical at all.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I just agree because you know anything about Instagram. Yeah,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: but I never said, hey, here's a shopping app. Can
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you help me install it and set it? Note you've
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: never had a problem buying anything at a digital age,
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: so you can learn. You choose not to.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I choose not to. Shane, is the IT department our
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: home And so as far as there being no subscription,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: that means that the ring or whatever type of doorbell
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: she has, it's just on a loop and it's not
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: saving it.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: You can just see live video. It's like a peephole.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You can see so right now you could log in
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: and see what's at your front door. But it's not
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: preserving it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: So what does that mean when it says it was disabled?
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: What did someone do?
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: They just they it's still connected to Wi Fi.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Okay, But my question is for someone whoever this is
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this person of interests or whoever abducted her to disable it?
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: They are they inside the house at this point?
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: The doorbell is on the outside of the house.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: That's what my question is. How do they how are
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: they disabling it?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: They yank it off the wall and they they smash it.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So you're saying, that's oh, so it wasn't like some.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: What do you think they do? They tapped in with
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: some laptop and they were like, yes, sitting there like
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: mission and bunds.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I pictured.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: No, they yanked it off the doorframe and then they
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: took it with them.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: So you're saying they just removed it and then okay,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: all right, well okay, but the takeaway from this is
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: that you should have a subscription if.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: You want to up your safety. She had a subscription.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: It would have saved whatever video was captured. I don't
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: know if they would have been on it. I don't
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: know if they came in from the back door and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: then went to the front door without getting in front
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: of the camera and yanked it. I don't know, but
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: it would have shown something something other than just motion
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: detected and then disabled. All right.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: So then on Monday, February second, authorities officially upgrade the
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: case to a criminal investigation. The sheriff says evidence indicates
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: she did not leave voluntarily, and the FBI joins the case.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: We do know that there was blood found on the
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: front porch.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Like blood drops.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: It blood drops. I saw a photo of it. It
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: wasn't a large amount of blood, not enough for you
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: to say death, she's deceased. It was like dribbles of blood.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: But then my question is what type of enjury occurred
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that would make someone bleed, but not with an intent
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to kill.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's not that far fetched.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I don't know, it's just so sadistic. So I think
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: someone just broke into this woman's.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Home, smacker on the head, and then they pull her out.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it could have been anything.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Then, on Tuesday, February third, the officials confirmed that the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: DNA evidence was collected from inside the home and have
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: confirmed that her blood was found near the front door
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: as well. Officials are now saying that there's been no
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: proof of life, and reports of a possible ransom note
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: start to emerge. Now that ransom note is just throwing
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: me for a loop because there's multiple ransom notes. As
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: far as what I understand.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I said the end of the day, I think they're
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: just milking the opportunity.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Okay, so something, let's talk about the ransom notes. So
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: TMZ was the first to reveal details about a ransom note.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Investigators are saying this is the only note they're taking seriously.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: But that doesn't make sense to me because there was
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: also another ransom note that came into a Tucson news
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: news station, and I saw them talking about it and
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: giving a report on it. And that ransom note has
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: corroborating evidence in it that talks specifically about what the
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: inside of the house looks like and about what Nancy
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was wearing that evening. So I don't know, but they're
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: saying the only note, ransom note they're taking seriously is
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: such an MC one.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know, I don't know.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So TMZ reported that the note, which was sent to
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: them Tuesday morning, demands a specific and very substantial amount
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of bitcoin. The amount is in the millions, and the
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: note demands the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific bitcoin address.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: TMZ has verified that the bitcoin address is real. Now,
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: how do you know? Can you? How can you have
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: an anonymous bitcoin address? And then how do you withdraw
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: from it? I'm this all this technology stuff is just
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: boggling my mind.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe these, maybe both ransom notes are real.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Maybe it's like the criminals are just goofballs and they
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing. They're like, wait, you sin
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: a ransom? No I sent a ransom. No, Wait who
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: did you send yours? To? Wait? How much are you
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: asking for That's what it was like.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: I said it to TMZ.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Where did you say, it's like the three stooges, they
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Well, I would hope for Nancy's sake that you're right,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: that it's just some dumb, dumb juices that abducted her,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and hopefully she's okay again. TMC has verified the bitcoin
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: address is real. I don't even understand what bitcoin is,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and I will tell you I own some bitcoin. I
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: bought some just because I just felt like it, because
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: it seemed like the thing to do, and it's actually increased.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: I now have more bitcoin than I used to have.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: But I don't know what it.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Is or how What is what is money? Really?
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: I don't even understand that content either, because it's like
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: paper money isn't really money. It has to be backed
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: by gold, right, So what is bitcoin?
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: It's just a digital currency.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: But I don't know. I don't understand bitcoin.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: You don't need it understanding. I understand that she is missing,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I know, and there's a ransom note and they want
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: something for her.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: There is a deadline connected to the alleged ransom, and
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: an element of or else the alleged ransom note. Else
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: what I don't know.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: That means they don't have a plan. There's that that
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: almost sounds like a fake ransom note because they don't
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: even know what to do.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Well, I don't know if they literally said or else,
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: because they're just not giving away actual what the verbiage
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: actually is. They're just summarizing it was a large amount
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: of money. Well, you know, they're not doing that publicly
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: because they want to be able to you know, they
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: don't want to give too much information about the ransom note,
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: the alleged I like how they called alleged ransom note
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: because we're not talking.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: About like validity. Is alleged r note exists?
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: So are we saying TMZ?
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I don't believe it much from TMZ really.
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: Is so the alleged ransom note also describes another item
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: the sender says was damaged at her Tucson area at home. See,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: now that's that's corroborating if they talk about some that
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: was damaged when they abducted her.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unless it's an inside job.
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: What is inside job?
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Like what if it's like a police officer it was
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: like in on it and he's like, oh sweet, I
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: know this is broken. I know she was wearing this.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: I'm going to send a ransom.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Oh you're saying like someone involved in the investigation is
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: making ransom notes on the side, trying to make some
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: trying to get some bitcoin.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Like the housekeeper grounds keeper. I don't know they forwarded
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: for they should, They should do a little combing of
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: the who'sn't working in the area and see if anyone's
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: from the Boston PD. Yes, because they're.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Shady, right, they forwarded the alleged ransom demand to the
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Pima County Sheriff. Then now we Pema County, Pema County,
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: p I m A Pema. On Wednesday, February fourth, CNN
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: came out with more reports on the note as well,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: and anchor Mary Coleman appeared on CNN's Aaron Burnett out
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: Front to reveal information about the alleged ransom note the
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: station received. See this is where I question, is this
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: the same ransom note that also went to TMZ or
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: is this a different ransom note?
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: This is where I don't know.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: So, Coleman said, she is a news anchor that works
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: at this news station that received a ransom note. There
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: are a few things that we can share as far
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: as what the contents were, a lot of it is
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: information that only someone who is holding her for ransom
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: would know, some very sensitive information and things that people
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: who were there when she was taken captive would know. See.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: I find that interesting because in the press conference the
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: police said that they only are taking the ransom note
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: from that the TMZ ransom note is the only one
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: they're taking. Seriously. However, this news anchor is talking about
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: the ransom note that the news station received and saying
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: that it has corroborating would.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Make you think that's two different notes, two.
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Different notes, or why are the police not.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: Saying a photocopy of the other?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know, she continued, So those are things that
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: are concerning. We immediately sent that information over to the
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: sheriff's to apartment. Additionally, Coleman said a detective asked for
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: more information about an IP address for the email. She
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: also confirmed that the ransom letter included a dollar amount
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: as well as a deadline and other specifics that only
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: Guthrie's abductor might know. So that definitely raised some red flag.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: So again there's my question, are.
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: We talking by email?
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: It was by email?
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: Okay? So it wasn't like the where they cut up
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: the little magazine letters. Now that's old school.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: That's old school. They don't do that anymore.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: They won cryptocurrency.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they went bitcoin and they sent emails.
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah okay.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Also on Wednesday, February fourth, investigators returned to Nancy's home
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: with K nine units and an online prayer vigil for
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Nancy was held. So here we are currently, where are
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: we at? Savannah Guthrie? This is the daughter has issued
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: a public plea for the safe return of her mother.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: In a video released with her siblings, the family address
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: reports of potential ransom messages, asking anyone involved to confirm
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: that Nancy Guthrie is alive, and stating we are ready
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: to listen, you know. That says we're ready to negotiate.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: That says we got your ransom letters. There are some
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: things that are concerning in them. Is what I would
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: take away from that that there's information that seems specific
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: and knowledgeable only to someone that would have been there.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie has said that her mother suffers from chronic
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: pain and depends on daily prescription medication, heightening fears about
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: the risk that she faces while she is missing. P
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: MC County's Sheriff Chris Nanos, held a press conference earlier
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: today to share the latest information. During the news conference,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Heath Jenkie, who is the FBI Phoenix's Special Agent in charge,
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: confirmed that one arrest was made regarding an impostor ransom note.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: See that's my question. If one is an impostor, I'm
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: going to assume the one that went to the police
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: station is possibly the.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I read that both were sent to the police station,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: because I think that's probably a good protocol. And I
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: think right now, I think they're not They're purposely not
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: providing all the information publicly, like that's not their concern,
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: and plus THEYD to verify things. What if these two
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: ransom notes were written by people that are connected. So
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think they're being very careful in what
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: they're allowing the public to know. And that's why we
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: don't know everything right now about these two ransom notes,
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: right Like I so, I think your questions are valid.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Are they the same, are they different? Blah blah blah,
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: And I think what you said is all we know
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: Well, it's very difficult to connect all the dots right
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: now because they are giving a very limited amount of information,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: like you said, So it's like we have these conclusions.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: There's a ransom note. TMZ got a ransom note, this
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: news station got a ransom note, but it's hard to
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: figure out what was said, which one is the imposter,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: which one is.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: They're still looking for suspects, so even if they think, hey,
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: this one's fake, but maybe they don't want to tell
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: people because maybe they wanted to weed out more people suspects.
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know. So the special Agent in charge of
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: this case confirmed that one arrest was made regarding an
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: impostor ransom note. The FBI is now offering a fifty
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: thousand dollars award for information that will help find Nancy. Now,
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: that was they found. If they arrested someone, that means
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they figured out that the note was an impostor, figured
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: out who sent it, found the person, and arrested them.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: That was quick.
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's because it's digital. Someone just typed up a
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: note and dropped it off at the station, news station
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: and police station. The old school was like, where did
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: this paper come from? Okay? But then what typewriter was used?
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Were the typewriter?
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Okay? But here's my question. If that person was so
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: easily found. Then the person who sent the ransom note
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: to TMZ the one that they're saying is legitimate that
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: they're taking seriously. They haven't arrested anyone connected with that.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: That means because the fake one is by some sloppy
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: meth head trying to get a few bucks. He's trying
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: to get some bed. The one is a little bit
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: more thought out.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: Is the actual abductor, is what we would conclude at
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: this point, the FBI agent said, in regards to the
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: ransom note, the one that went to the media is
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: the one we're currently investigating and working on. The impostor
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: that I talked about, where an arrest was made early
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: this morning, that there will be more information. We believe
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: there is no evidence to connect this to Nancy's case.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: It was someone that was trying to profit from it,
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: a total impostor. As the search moves into its fifth day,
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: concern for Guthrie's health continues to intensify. The Pima County
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: sheriff reiterated at the press conference that there are no
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: suspects and no persons of interest at this time. You know,
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: that is what they said publicly on the record. However,
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. If you listen to Ashley Banfield, she
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: did do. She came out publicly and said that the
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: son in law was a person of interest, and I
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: don't think she's recanted that at all, but.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: That she's basing on what she's coming across. Well, I
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's not an officially announced anything, right.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: No, it's not officially announced by the police. It's officially
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: announced by Ashley Banfield. But I'm saying she's well connected
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: in the area of crime, true crime, cops, attorneys, the whole,
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: all the inside information. So the fact that she came
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: forward and said that, I don't know, we shall see.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: Because she's also the one that said it's camera's not camera?
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: What does that mean?
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Oh, when you put an S on the end of
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: a noun, it's plural.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: No, I understand, but I don't know what you're What
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: is that meaning?
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: More than one camera was taken from the property and disabled.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: That's what she says. Her source said, okay, And she
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: also says that her source, meaning it's not public, it's
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: just her right. But the back door was left open
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: right when they arrived, meaning there was a break in
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: on one door, presumably the front door and then the
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: back door was left open and there's blood on the
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: front door or the front area, the front porch, and
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: she doesn't she didn't hear whether there was or was
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: not blood elsewhere or something like that. So you know,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: who knows. Time will tell.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Well, we will stay connected very closely to the story,
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: and we really pray and hope that that Nancy is okay.
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: I feel all wold.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It's been I mean realistically it's been five days. Yeah,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: and her medication they say it is crucial daily.
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: And also if she was connected to age.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: And pacemaker, and I've seen pictures of her, she's not
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: physically fit to you know, be roughed up.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Well, we will continue to follow the story and
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: let you know what comes up next on this. So
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: thanks for listening, guys, We appreciate you.
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Hopefully, we just had one more update and they caught him, well,
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: that found her.
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: That would be we're done, amazing. We would hope, we
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: would hope and pray for a happy ending that they
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: figure out who this is, they find Nancy and they
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: bring her home safely and she recovers.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: That's what we'll hope for, and they throw them in
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: a jail cell to rock.
