An 84-year-old woman vanishes from her Tucson home. No witnesses. No ransom call that makes sense. And a family waiting in the kind of silence that breaks people. Nancy Guthrie—mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie—disappeared on January 24, 2025, setting off a national investigation that has exposed deep dysfunction between federal and local law enforcement, raised more questions than answers, and captivated a country watching in real time. This is Finding Nancy —the only podcast dedicated entirely to this case. Hosted by Tony Brueski, veteran true crime podcaster and Court TV legal analyst, this channel delivers what mainstream coverage can't: daily monologues breaking down every development as it happens, multi-part expert interview series with former FBI agents, behavioral analysts, and criminal defense attorneys, and unflinching analysis of the investigative failures, jurisdictional conflicts, and unanswered questions surrounding this case. We don't do speculation dressed up as insight. We don't recycle what you've already heard. Every episode is built on verified reporting, primary sources, and expert perspective—delivered with the kind of clarity and directness this case demands. You'll hear from voices like Robin Dreeke, former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, and Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI Special Agent, breaking down what the evidence actually tells us—and what it doesn't. You'll get real-time analysis of Sheriff Chris Nanos's public statements, the FBI's involvement, and the contradictions piling up between them. This isn't entertainment. This is accountability journalism in podcast form. Whether you're following because of who Nancy's daughter is, or because an elderly woman deserves answers regardless of her family's fame, this is where you come to understand what's really happening—not what someone wants you to believe is happening.

Finding Nancy: The Nancy Guthrie Investigation
Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper Knew WHAT Inside Her Home?!
Aug 15, 202647 min
The first Nancy Guthrie ransom note contains details that only someone standing inside her house could have known, and Tony Brueski, retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke, and retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer lay out exactly what those details are and what they mean six months into this investigation. Released by the Pima County Sheriff's Department on July 31, the first letter opens with 'Hello Savannah,' demands four million dollars in Bitcoin, and references a white smart watch on the floor by the bed and a destroyed flood light out back. It reads like a script. A second note, arriving with no demand at all, claims Nancy died shortly after she was taken, says she's buried in nature, and hopes her children find peace, reading more like a confession than a threat. The team weighs whether the same person wrote both. Coffindaffer's trace of the alleged kidnapper's Bitcoin wallet shows the only money that ever moved into it was roughly three hundred dollars, sent by the FBI itself on February 10 and never touched again. No ransom was ever paid, despite Savannah Guthrie's public statement that the family did their part. Messages written directly to the wallet include the exact words Savannah said on camera, meaning a direct line to whoever controls it has existed the entire time and was never answered. Sheriff Nanos calls his relationship with the FBI great while thousands of hours of video remain unreviewed, and search teams have returned to the brush behind Nancy's own home since the monsoons. Every thread, traced in one place. Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Why Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper Stopped Asking For Money
Aug 11, 202621 min
You've followed the Nancy Guthrie case from the first night, so you know what the July 31 release of the ransom notes actually changed: for the first time, the public can read the writer's own words. Tony Brueski and retired FBI behavioral analyst Robin Dreeke spend this episode inside them, guided by your questions. The details you've been waiting to discuss are all here. The 'Hello Savannah' opening. The $4 million Bitcoin demand and the promised safe drop-off. The white smart watch and the destroyed flood light, the two proof points that made the FBI take the letters seriously. The second note's total retreat from money, its heart-related explanation, the 'buried in nature' line, and the apology. Plus the timeline you memorized months ago: camera down at 1:47, a person detected at 2:12, the pacemaker offline at 2:28. Robin's behavioral read covers what the tone shift between letters suggests, what kind of writer wishes a family peace, and whether one person produced both notes. And the closing question — why federal agents went back into the brush behind her home — gets the serious treatment this audience deserves.

Why Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper Never Touched the Money
Aug 10, 202627 min
Sheriff Nanos sat down for his six-month message on the Nancy Guthrie case and called his office's relationship with the FBI great. In the same stretch, the ransom letters were finally released, and Nanos acknowledged thousands of hours of video still haven't been reviewed. Six months into the disappearance of a 74-year-old woman taken from her own Tucson home. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Tony Brueski to say what most people watching that message were thinking, and to bring receipts nobody else has. Her receipts come off the blockchain. After the Pima County Sheriff's Office accidentally printed the alleged kidnapper's Bitcoin wallet address on a media release, Coffindaffer traced every transaction on it. The demand was allegedly four million dollars. The wallet's entire history is one deposit: roughly three hundred dollars in Bitcoin, moved by the FBI on February 10, never touched again. No ransom was ever paid — which sits uneasily beside the family's public statement that they did their part. The wallet also carried messages, written directly onto the blockchain, including the exact words Savannah Guthrie said on camera about being willing to pay. An open channel to the alleged kidnapper existed for six months. It was never answered. Coffindaffer explains what that silence tends to mean, and why the answer changes depending on whether Nancy's captors were organized professionals or a hired man in over his head. That split is her other headline: she believes the two ransom notes came from two different authors. One wrote threats on a schedule. One wrote an apology that reads like it was drafted with a death penalty statute in mind. This channel exists to keep Nancy Guthrie's case from going quiet. This episode is the loudest it's been in months. LINKS Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper REALLY Proved With That Note
Aug 8, 202644 min
Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper had every opportunity to send real proof she was alive — her voice, a photo, anything with her in it — and instead described a smartwatch on the floor and a broken floodlight. Pima County released both ransom notes in full, and this episode is a complete breakdown of what's actually in them and what the investigation has gotten wrong since. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of The Minds of Mass Killers, goes through the first note line by line: the four-million-dollar bitcoin demand, the deadline set for Savannah Guthrie, the proof-of-presence details, a revealing slip from "we" to "me," and a line about Nancy's mother written to put the outcome squarely on the family. Then the second note: it states Nancy died shortly after she was taken. If the notes are accurate and in order, the ransom demand went out for someone who was already gone. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer breaks down the investigation from the outside. Sheriff Chris Nanos told cameras Derrick Callella — the only person charged in connection with this case — received ten years. He hasn't been sentenced. The real plea agreement is five years of probation on two counts of harassment by telecommunications device. Coffindaffer explains what it means that the man running this investigation can't accurately describe his own case's only conviction, and why the FBI director and Pima County's sheriff still haven't spoken directly, reward money on the table and no named suspect. Savannah Guthrie's latest statement. A nearby attack with an eerily similar suspect description. And a ransom note that never once proves what it claims. Every detail, laid out in order.

What Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapper Did AFTER Savannah Said She'd Pay
Aug 6, 202616 min
Eight sentences. No location. No demands. The second note told the family Nancy died shortly after she was taken, said it was heart related, and ended with an apology. The writer walked away from six million dollars and a family that had already publicly said they would pay. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott examines the second note line by line — the phrase buried in nature, the claim about her condition from someone who was inside her house, and the question that sits underneath all of it: is this a man feeling guilt, or a man who never had anything to sell? Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott, author of The Minds of Mass Killers.
