The Murder of Travis Alexander + The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie

from Moms and Mysteries: A True Crime Podcast · host Moms and Mysteries Podcast

*The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie begins around 38:00* This week, we're finally tackling a case we're surprised we haven't covered before: the story of Jodi Arias. In June 2008, the brutal murder of motivational speaker Travis Alexander in his Mesa, Arizona home set off an investigation that would captivate the nation. The prime suspect was his ex-girlfriend, Jodi Arias, and the trial that followed was a masterclass in manipulation and shifting narratives. We'll delve into their intense, whirlwind romance, the deep-seated conflicts with Travis's Mormon faith, and the escalating obsession that turned deadly. From slashing tires to hacking emails, Jodi's behavior grew more and more alarming, even as Travis continued to be drawn into her web. Then, stick around for a detailed timeline of the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of the Today show's Savannah Guthrie. We'll walk you through the events from the night she was last seen, the chilling digital footprint left behind, the mysterious ransom notes, and the latest updates from the FBI as of our recording on February 11th.
