Description: The investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie is now focused on the people in her world as much as the crime scene itself. Agents with forensic extraction devices entered the home of Nancy's daughter Annie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni, the last people to see her before she vanished. The Pima County Sheriff has confirmed no suspects and no persons of interest, and has called unverified media reports naming potential suspects reckless and potentially harmful to the case.The Guthrie family released a video statement described by former federal law enforcement analysts as carefully directed by authorities. Every line was strategic — from humanizing Nancy to asking directly for proof of life. Meanwhile, tips are flooding in, a fifty-thousand-dollar reward has been posted, and over a hundred investigators are working the case.In Part 2 of this interview, Robin Dreeke — former FBI Special Agent and Chief of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program — explains how investigators behaviorally assess everyone in a victim's orbit. How do you tell grief from guilt? What does a forensic device extraction really accomplish beyond recovering data? How do premature public accusations change the landscape for investigators, for the accused, and for whoever actually did this? And what happens to the behavioral dynamics if this case goes cold?#NancyGuthrie #RobinDreeke #HiddenKillers #FBIBehavioralAnalysis #SavannahGuthrie #Kidnapping #TrueCrime #CellebriteForensics #PimaCountySheriff #TrueCrime2026Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?
