Welcome to M.K. True Crime. I'm Phil Holloway. I'm a criminal lawyer. I'm a former prosecutor,

0:11.8

and I'm an ex-cop, and I have been around this business a very long time, and I know a great

0:16.4

true crime show when I see one, and we've got one for you today.

0:23.9

Here's what's on the MK True Crime Docket.

0:27.1

We have big news this week out of Los Angeles.

0:32.6

Singer David has officially been charged with the capital murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

0:34.7

We've been covering this case since Celeste's body was found, decomposed,

0:39.1

and dismembered in David's impounded Tesla back in September of 2025. We will be joined by

0:46.4

former federal prosecutor Nima Romani to break down the special circumstances in the charges

0:52.5

against David. As of this taping, Nancy Guthrie has been

0:57.1

missing for 80 days. We learned last week that now the FBI is analyzing DNA from hair found at Nancy's

1:05.5

home. We'll discuss why experts say this could be the clue that finally cracks the case. And happy Earth Day.

1:13.7

We're going to revisit the disturbing case of Ira Einhorn. Remember that guy? He's the self-proclaimed

1:20.7

founder of Earth Day and notorious unicorn killer. I'm very pleased to be joined today by my friend and my co-host and my colleague,

1:29.9

Ashley Merchant, criminal lawyer from Atlanta, Georgia. Ashley, before we get to the big news about

1:37.6

the singer David, I want to talk with you about Nancy Guthrie. It's been 80 days now since Nancy Guthrie. Of course, the mother of today's show host, Savannah Guthrie, was abducted. She remains missing, and there still, Ashley, is no suspect. And we learned from samples that have been taken from her home that these have now been forwarded Ashley to the FBI for advanced testing. Experts say they're cautiously optimistic, particularly about hair found at the scene. Actually, what's going on with this? Yeah, Phil, you know, I think they're just looking for anything, any clues at this point. I mean, like you said, it's been 80 days now, which is a long time. And I think everyone's kind of given up hope that they're going to find her alive. And now they just want to solve this and see if this is a crime and what actually happened. But the FBI has reportedly recently received additional DNA evidence, including a hair sample that was found at Nancy's home. There's been differing reports about where it was found in her home, but we know it was submitted

2:34.2

for additional testing. They sent it off to a new lab down in Florida. But the sheriff's department is

2:39.4

saying that this isn't really a new development. They said that they've been sharing the information

2:43.4

with the FBI since the start of the investigation, and they actually released a statement that said

2:48.3

they have worked with the FBI since the beginning of

2:51.1

the Guthrie investigation. This is not new information. The private lab we utilize in Florida

2:56.1

continues to share information with the FBI lab and other partner labs across the country,
