Nancy Guthrie Search: “We Need to Find a Second Location,” Expert
from The Truth of the Matter with Natasha Zouves · host Natasha Zouves
Investigators in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie are asking the public to focus closely on three specific windows of time: Jan. 11, Jan. 24 and the early morning hours of Feb. 1. In this episode of “The Truth of the Matter” podcast with Natasha Zouves, genetic genealogist CeCe Moore explains why identifying a second location could be critical in the Nancy Guthrie case — and what investigators may still be searching for right now. Moore and her team have helped solve more than 300 cases using investigative genetic genealogy, a technique many hope will eventually lead to a breakthrough in the Guthrie investigation. In this episode, Moore describes how she cracked a more than 30‑year‑old cold case in a matter of hours, identifying the man who murdered 12‑year‑old Michella Welch in a park near her Tacoma home. Moore says cases like that show how quickly genetic genealogy can move once investigators have the right DNA lead — one reason she believes the same kind of breakthrough remains possible in the search for Nancy Guthrie. In this episode, she explains: • Why investigators may need to identify a second location tied to the Nancy Guthrie case. • How genetic genealogy can move quickly once the right DNA profile exists. • How she solved the Michella Welch cold case in a matter of hours. • How the public can help by uploading their DNA to databases investigators can access and are permitted to use.

From secret human experiments the government carried out on unsuspecting citizens to toxic cover-ups poisoning communities, Emmy and Murrow Award-winning journalist Natasha Zouves brings you the stories people in power don’t want told. Each week, we expose evidence buried in archives, amplify the voices of those who’ve been silenced, and hold the powerful accountable. From radioactive “oatmeal experiments” on children, to cancer causing chemicals destroying farms, to veterans erased from history — these are the stories that matter. This is journalism that refuses to look away. The Truth of the Matter is about transparency, and justice for the people left behind.
