Nancy Guthrie: Is the Death Note Actually a Confession?!

from Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary · host True Crime Today

The second note sent after Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping said she died shortly after being taken. Investigators called it a legitimate communication from the actual kidnappers. Not a hoax. Not one of the fakes that the FBI has been arresting people for. If that assessment holds, the people who took an 84-year-old grandmother from her home left behind a written admission that she died in their custody.Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta evaluates the legal significance of that note. Whether it functions as a confession depends on what investigators can connect it to — a device, a location, a fingerprint, a writing pattern. But the content alone tells a story the prosecution could use if the case ever reaches a courtroom. Five months in, nobody has been charged with the kidnapping itself. The FBI continues investigating leads including an anonymous emailer who claims to have video evidence. And the family is still waiting.Tony Brueski and Bob Motta break down the legal reality of where this case stands, what the note changes, and what still has to happen before anyone faces charges.
