Summary

Maureen Callahan is joined by criminal defense attorney and “MK True Crime” contributor Phil Holloway to break down the most troubling developments in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother, including Savannah’s video plea, the uneasy family dynamics on display, drone footage of law enforcement collecting evidence, the credibility of the ransom note, and mounting questions around missed investigative steps and a shifting timeline. Maureen then sits down with Ashleigh Banfield, veteran journalist and host of the "Drop Dead Serious" podcast, who stands firmly behind her reporting of a possible suspect, despite some media backlash, talks about her reliable law enforcement source, makes parallels to the Kohberger case and points to what emerging facts suggest about Nancy Guthrie's abduction. Later in the show, Maureen calls out Jenna Bush Hager for talking up faith, friendship, and community while ditching a vigil for Savannah's mom in NYC and watches it online instead.

Hello and welcome to your Friday edition of The Nerve.

0:07.6

I am your host, Maureen Callahan, and we have an incredible show for you today.

0:12.9

It has been almost one week since Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of today's show host,

0:18.9

Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home, from her bed in

0:24.3

Tucson, Arizona early in the morning of Sunday, February 1st. It's believed she was taken at 2 a.m.

0:33.5

Investigators have been all over the map with what they are telling us.

0:39.2

First, they believe she's dead, then they believe she's alive.

0:42.6

Now we have a ransom note.

0:44.6

Is Savannah's sister involved?

0:46.5

Is it somebody else?

in front of their faces based on the evidence, okay, to help us break down the various and

varying details in this case. First, Phil Holloway of M.K. True Crime is going to be here to talk

1:15.1

about the most recent developments. The Savannah Guthrie video, which is a remarkable, remarkable

artifact. She is sitting in between her siblings, one of whom we believe, we have good reason to believe,

1:29.7

is a person of interest in this case and her husband as well. And she's begging people for help.

1:35.5

And she's reading a note to the authors of the ransom note. This is a remarkable, remarkable piece

1:43.5

of footage. So Phil's going to help us break that down

1:46.2

because what isn't being said in this thing is as if not more important than what is being said.

1:53.6

And then Phil and I are going to talk about the press conference that Barney Fife gave on Thursday,

1:59.4

in which he made another whole slew of errors. But it looks

2:03.5
