Nancy Guthrie's FBI Can't Get Its Own Story Straight

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

Three different FBI sources. Three different answers. On the same day. About the single most important piece of evidence in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping.Reuters said all the ransom notes are fabricated. The Phoenix field office said some may be legitimate. TMZ's sources said the original two are more credible than not. The Bureau cannot agree internally on whether the central evidence in its own active case is real or manufactured.Nancy Guthrie has been missing from her Tucson home for nearly six months. No suspect identified. No arrest. Former FBI agent Steve Moore went on camera and said what no official source has admitted. The case is completely cold. He told Brian Entin that fresh agents will eventually rotate in because the current investigators are stuck.This case has attracted cons alongside its genuine investigation. Derrick Callella pleaded guilty to posing as a kidnapper and sending fake ransom messages directly to Nancy's family while the real kidnapping was still open. Someone else separately sent TMZ a dozen emails demanding Bitcoin for information. The resources devoted to sorting real leads from manufactured noise have been enormous.Genetic genealogy testing began in February using DNA recovered from inside the house. That was five months ago. The enhanced photo of the masked figure on Nancy's porch has never been publicly released.Nancy's face is on the billboards across Tucson. The suspect's is not. The enhanced photo of the masked figure was captured on her porch camera. It has never been made public. These are deliberate decisions by the people running this investigation, and no one has explained the logic behind any of them.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine the Bureau's contradictions, what happens mechanically when a case goes cold, whether the genetic genealogy testing has produced results that have not been shared, and whether investigators already know more about porch guy than they have told the public.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
