University of Idaho Murders Podcast | 4 Killed For What?

Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home in February 2026. Months later, questions remain about two very different windows in the investigation: phone activity reportedly detected in the neighborhood during January and the treatment of the porch after relatives discovered she was missing. Together they tell us why the earliest hours of any disappearance matter so much. Tony Brueski is joined by retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer and retired FBI behavioral specialist Robin Dreeke. A private analyst says certain phones appeared near Nancy’s home in the weeks before the suspected abduction. There is no publicly verified identification of those devices as belonging to a perpetrator. The challenge is determining whether unusual activity reflects surveillance, ordinary neighborhood patterns or incomplete commercial data. Then comes the physical scene. Nancy’s blood was recovered near the doorway, and a masked individual appeared on security footage. The Wall Street Journal reported concerns about how quickly the property was opened and whether the porch had been adequately protected. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has disputed the report’s broader characterization, though he acknowledged that releasing the property early may have been a mistake. Reuters also reported disagreement over sending some DNA evidence to a Florida laboratory rather than the FBI’s Quantico facility. Nanos defended the laboratory choice and denied obstructing federal work. Coffindaffer explains why evidence handling, documentation and communication between laboratories can shape whether later testing is useful. Dreeke asks what we can responsibly infer from the person on the camera and whether a possible earlier visit would really prove planning. He also considers why speculation about kidnapping for ransom can race ahead of facts, particularly when messages are unverified. We do not treat any reported phone as an identified suspect or any claimed ransom demand as reliable without corroboration. The essential question remains: which traceable leads can investigators still test for Nancy?

Jensen Huang is one of the richest men alive, and the Nvidia CEO has confessed to an affair with a woman reports identify as Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. I ask retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke what a man with that much was still looking for, and how a suspected spy gets that close. At a dinner Huang hosted in Taipei, Alice Huang reportedly kissed his cheek and the two left in the same car. She had been a top executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore company that bought billions of dollars in Nvidia chips. Nvidia's board says it has no reason to believe secrets or national security were compromised. Robin, former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, walks me through how he would find out whether this was spying, including whether the FBI would ever ask someone being used to keep talking to the suspected spy. We go beyond what's been established in the Nvidia case to talk about blackmail. Then we turn to separate cases where espionage turned deadly: a Justice Department review tied Aldrich Ames's betrayal to the execution of at least ten CIA and FBI sources, and the Justice Department says Iran directed a plot to murder journalist Masih Alinejad. China denies the spying claims, and three House committee chairs have asked for a closed-door briefing.

A grand jury in Colleton County was told in July of 2022 that Alex Murdaugh's white T-shirt carried high-impact blood spatter from his wife and son. SLED had tested that shirt eleven months earlier, cutting seventy-four pieces from it. The lead agent later agreed under oath that what he told those jurors about the shirt was incorrect. Part 4 also covers the clerk of court who had those jurors in her care day to day. Becky Hill's book came out five months after the verdict. In December of 2025 she pleaded guilty to perjury, obstruction, and two counts of misconduct in office. The state Supreme Court threw out the convictions in May of 2026, finding she had placed her fingers on the scales of justice. Judge McCaslin moved the retrial out of Colleton County to Sumter, and set it for April 5, 2027.

At least ten CIA and FBI intelligence sources were exposed and executed because of what Aldrich Ames gave the KGB, according to a Justice Department review. I ask retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke why sources like that become targets, and why Iran's government, according to the Justice Department, went after journalist Masih Alinejad in New York. Ames, a CIA officer who spied for Moscow, was sentenced to life in prison. Carlisle Rivera got fifteen years for his role in the murder-for-hire plot against Alinejad, and Jonathan Loadholt got ten. Prosecutors say Farhad Shakeri offered Rivera $100,000 to find and kill her, and Shakeri is still at large. Robin, former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, talks about who else ends up in danger when names get passed along, including families with no part in the spying, and how a spy talks himself into believing he's only passing along information. Both cases are separate from the Nvidia spy affair. I ask Robin whether anything reported in that case points to a physical threat or whether that would be jumping ahead of the facts, and what it's like to be the agent a source trusts with his family's safety.

Monique and Spencer Tepe were shot to death in their Weinland Park home in Columbus. Police put the shooting at about 3:50 in the morning, and the couple's two kids were in the house with them until officers got inside after 10. This Tepe murders recap covers the case against Monique's ex-husband, Michael McKee, starting years before that night. A witness told detectives McKee once said he could kill Monique at any time and would find her and buy the house right next to hers. Police say McKee's phone stayed behind at his hospital in Rockford, Illinois, about a seven-hour drive away. A camera caught a man in a dark hoodie in the alley next to the Tepes' house, and police say that man was McKee. Police Chief Elaine Bryant calls the killings a targeted attack tied to domestic violence. I go through what still isn't public: the results from 15 prints and the DNA swabs, and how anyone got inside a house with no sign of forced entry. McKee is in the Franklin County jail on four counts of aggravated murder. His next court date is December 7th.

Jensen Huang kept his affair quiet until he confessed it in a memo to Nvidia employees, and reports say the woman was Alice Huang, whom U.S. intelligence reportedly concluded was a Chinese intelligence asset. Retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke and I go beyond what's been established in the Nvidia case to ask how much power a secret like that hands someone. Robin is the former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. Security experts say spy schemes that use romance can end in coercion or blackmail. Nvidia's board says it has no reason to believe secrets or national security were compromised, and China denies the spying claims. I ask Robin what changes once a shared secret becomes a threat, what the fear of losing your family can make you agree to, and what keeps the demands from growing after the first time someone gives in. We also talk about whether the person doing the recruiting can be under the same kind of pressure. I end by asking whether Huang going public would strip the power from anyone who might have been holding his secret.

Jensen Huang first described his interactions with Alice Huang as normal business, then admitted to Nvidia employees that he had been unfaithful to his wife. I ask retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke where normal business ends and spying starts, and how anyone would know which one this was. Reports say U.S. intelligence concluded Alice Huang, a former top executive at chip buyer Megaspeed, was a Chinese intelligence asset. China calls that groundless. President Trump has said Huang denied knowing she was a spy, and that he believes him. Robin, the former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, explains what an interviewer would ask Huang to find out what he actually knew, and whether a casual chat with a CEO can still give a foreign government something it wants. I ask whether the FBI would ever have someone who may have been used keep talking to the suspected spy, and how agents decide if that person can handle it. We finish on how investigators get employees to speak up when the board has said it has confidence in Huang. Three House committee chairs have asked for a closed-door briefing.

Jensen Huang built Nvidia into the company behind the chips that run much of the AI boom, and he has admitted to his employees that he was unfaithful to his wife. Reports say the woman was Alice Huang, a former Megaspeed executive U.S. intelligence reportedly flagged as a Chinese intelligence asset, and I ask retired FBI Special Agent Robin Dreeke how a man this brilliant became such a bad judge of her. Robin is the former chief of the FBI's Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program. At a dinner Huang hosted in Taipei, Alice Huang reportedly kissed his cheek and the two left in the same car. Megaspeed, based in Singapore, bought billions of dollars in Nvidia chips. Robin and I get into what someone new can offer a man who already has money, power and constant praise, and whether a spy can actually fall for the person she was sent to use. We also talk about how a friend can get through to someone who takes every concern as an attack on his relationship. Nvidia's board says it sees no reason to believe secrets or national security were compromised, and China denies the spying claims.

Prosecutors say Tyler Robinson told his own parents why he shot Charlie Kirk, and the Tyler Robinson trial still won't begin until June 2028. I go through every place he allegedly admitted it, and why a not guilty plea still means a full death penalty trial. According to charging documents, his father thought the rifle in the news matched one he'd given his son. When his parents asked why he'd done it, Robinson allegedly said Kirk spread too much hate. A retired deputy sheriff who was a family friend talked him into turning himself in. Investigators say he posted in a Discord chat that it was him at Utah Valley University, but he never confessed to police. Robinson pleaded not guilty, and a guilty plea in a death penalty case usually comes with a deal that takes execution off the table. No deal has been reported. His lawyers have never gotten to cross-examine his roommate and partner, Lance Twiggs, because Judge Tony Graf ruled Utah lets prosecutors use reliable secondhand statements at a preliminary hearing. Robinson is due back in court January 14th, 2027. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me on Hidden Killers for the full conversation after a federal jury convicted former Stoughton detective Matthew Farwell of killing Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child. We start with how he lives with it. Farwell walked into Sandra's building in a hood and mask and walked out at 9:43. About 13 hours later, according to the FBI, his own son was born. Shavaun talks about what a man tells himself after that, and whether a husband and father can love his family and still do this. Sandra called him Officer Farwell in high school. Prosecutors said what happened between them started when she was fifteen. She later wanted his name on her baby's birth certificate, and Shavaun explains why she kept holding on. His twin brother, also a Stoughton cop, testified he didn't believe Sandra when she told him her age, and a dispatcher testified he was told to forget a call about her and Farwell. The defense argued suicide and walked jurors through Sandra's private pain. Farwell faces mandatory life at sentencing in February.

Four texts sat in Alex Murdaugh's phone for four years. They were sent the morning after Maggie and Paul were killed by Curtis Smith, the distant cousin called Eddie, and they were not on the eighty-eight-page timeline a SLED agent walked the 2023 jury through. A South Carolina news site published them in July of 2025 from preserved phone data, and Alex's lawyer said the defense had not known about them. Part 3 works through every name the record will actually carry. The stranger Alex described to the first deputy. The people tied to the boat crash. A Yemassee officer. And unknown male DNA that a judge ordered sent to a Texas lab in October of 2026, over the state's objection. Each name runs into the same problem. Smith has not been charged in the murders.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me on Hidden Killers to talk about why Sandra Birchmore was the one being judged at Matthew Farwell's trial. A federal jury found the former Stoughton detective guilty of killing her and her unborn child, rejecting his defense that she took her own life. To get there, jurors sat through Sandra's private struggles: her grief, her mental health history, things she'd written years earlier, and her relationships with other men. Farwell's lawyer told them that Sandra announcing her pregnancy to more than 80 people was a cry for help. Her therapist told them she didn't believe Sandra was suicidal. Shavaun and I talk about why calling a woman "crazy" or "too much" ends the listening, why her pain gets treated as proof while her happiness gets ignored, and how her love life becomes a reason for less sympathy. We also talk about why blaming her feels safer to the rest of us, and what to say to a woman who's afraid she won't be believed. Farwell faces mandatory life at sentencing in February.

Matthew Farwell's twin brother William was a Stoughton police officer when Sandra Birchmore told him what she said started with Matthew at fifteen. With Matthew now convicted by a federal jury of killing Sandra and her unborn child, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins me on Hidden Killers to talk about why so many people around her looked away. William's answer to Sandra was a one-word text. On the stand, with a grant of immunity, he said he'd brushed her off because he didn't believe her and couldn't picture Matthew being that careless. He also admitted that he'd been with Sandra himself after she was an adult, sometimes while he was working. Shavaun and I get into how "he would never do that" shuts down hard questions, how a man's own secrets decide what he's willing to report, and why protecting a coworker so often beats protecting a young woman. We also talk about why the person who speaks up can take more blame than the one doing wrong, and how to help someone come forward when she's afraid of what happens next. Farwell faces a mandatory life sentence in February. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Christina Siders, the grandmother charged after 16 children were found in a Hamden, Ohio, home, was ruled not competent to stand trial and ordered to an inpatient facility. Her lawyer says the doctor flagged several risk factors for dementia and called for a full neurological exam, and the judge said she hasn't been diagnosed with dementia. That ruling came the same day her daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Siders, was found competent. Christina's husband, Gary Siders Sr., already had his case dismissed after an evaluator found he couldn't be restored. Their son, Gary Siders Jr., is still waiting. If doctors say Christina has been restored, she goes back before the judge and her case moves toward trial. She still faces 19 counts of endangering children, and prosecutors say in a court filing that the most serious ones involve serious physical harm to her grandchildren. I break down how competency and insanity work in Ohio, why Elizabeth's lawyer is asking for a second exam, and why all four adults gave up the hearing where prosecutors would have had to show evidence in open court. Then I go back to what a juvenile court found about these children years earlier. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A federal jury has decided Matthew Farwell killed Sandra Birchmore and her unborn child, ending a relationship that prosecutors said began when she was a teenager in his department's youth program. On Hidden Killers, psychotherapist Shavaun Scott helps me understand why Sandra still wanted him. Sandra called him Officer Farwell when she was in high school. Years later, she believed he would leave his wife for her, wanted his last name on her baby's birth certificate, and asked that he at least stop by on holidays. Shavaun walks through how attention from an older man in uniform lands on a girl who looks up to him, how that history resets what she believes she deserves, and why switching between affection and coldness keeps a woman hooked. We also talk about the day a woman sees she was being used, and how to talk to a friend who answers every warning with "but I love him." Farwell faces mandatory life at his February sentencing.

A federal jury convicted former Stoughton police detective Matthew Farwell in the death of Sandra Birchmore and the death of her unborn child, and Shavaun Scott joins me on Hidden Killers to talk about what goes on inside a man like him. Sandra was 23, and she believed the baby she was carrying was his. He walked out of her building at 9:43 that night. About 13 hours later, according to the FBI affidavit, his wife delivered their third child, a son. Shavaun walks through how a man keeps living a normal life after that: the explanations he gives himself, why the version of himself he shows the world can become the thing he protects most, and whether a cop who has gotten away with things for years starts to believe the rules are for other people. We also ask her how you can tell, when a man like Farwell says he's sorry, whether he means Sandra or himself. Farwell had no visible reaction as the verdicts were read. He faces life in prison at his February sentencing. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Matthew Farwell's jury wrote Judge Denise Casper two notes in a row. The first asked how much time was left in the day, and the second said jurors were deadlocked and not close to a verdict. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries reads it as a misused word from a jury fighting over one issue. That issue, Motta says, is the second half of the federal charge: proof that Farwell killed Sandra Birchmore to stop her from reaching law enforcement. Retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke and Tony walk through the evidence prosecutors used to cover it, from Sandra's habit of telling everyone everything to her meetings with an attorney about child support. The panel then lays out what a hung jury, an acquittal or a conviction would each set in motion, and Motta doubts jurors would know.

Maggie Murdaugh's phone kept counting after she died. At 8:53 on June 7, 2021 it logged fifty-nine steps across Moselle, then stopped for good. The state's cell-phone analyst told jurors a step count like that means the phone was in someone's hand. On cross he agreed a thrown phone can also register movement. For thirteen minutes, from 8:49 and thirty-one seconds to 9:02 and eighteen seconds, hers was the only phone on the property that moved. Paul's locked at one minute past 8:49 and never opened again. Alex's recorded nothing at all. Part 2 sets his sworn story beside the record. The golf cart ride nothing captured. The five or ten minutes on the couch. The twenty minutes at his mother's house, and the text he sent at 9:47 that Maggie never read. The state calls those thirteen minutes his. The defense says a stranger's hand, and has never named one.

What if Matthew Farwell's jury hung instead of reaching a verdict? Bob Motta of Defense Diaries says federal prosecutors would try him again, because U.S. attorneys take a loss personally. A not-guilty verdict would be a different story: Farwell would walk out of the courthouse, and Motta says the state couldn't stop that right away. Any state case would land with a new Norfolk DA who doesn't take office until January, and Motta says his wife's research points to a double jeopardy problem for a state murder charge. What's left is a case over what prosecutors say Farwell did when Sandra Birchmore was a teen, and Motta calls that evidence amazing. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke ask whether a televised state trial would expose Farwell to far more people than this federal case, which has played out with no cameras, ever has.

JonBenét Ramsey was six when Boulder police officer Rick French searched her family's basement on December 26th, 1996, and walked away from a latched door. JonBenét was behind that door, and her family says some of the evidence from that house went untested for decades. John Ramsey says labs returned six or seven pieces of evidence untested early on, the murder weapon among them. He also wants the rope found in a guest room and the suitcase under a basement window tested. Boulder police answered that it's completely false they aren't pursuing viable evidence, including DNA testing. In September 2025, his son John Andrew said some basement evidence was being tested for the first time. Police Chief Stephen Redfearn says Boulder might get only one try at genetic genealogy on the unknown man's DNA it has held since January 1997. The case reaches thirty years on December 26th, 2026.

What if Matthew Farwell's jury believed he killed Sandra Birchmore but doubted why? Bob Motta of Defense Diaries says the fact that her case reached federal investigators should settle that question. The federal charge requires proof that Farwell killed Sandra to stop information from reaching law enforcement. It doesn't have to be Sandra who makes the call. Motta argues a friend who reaches one good cop gets the same result, and he names Donna McNamara, the chief who came in to clean up Stoughton's department, as exactly the kind of officer who would have called the feds. Retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke asks whether Farwell would have felt any need to act if McNamara had never arrived. Tony asks Motta whether a jury that believes Farwell killed Sandra could still let him go, and Motta says the law allows it.

Michael Morrissey's office says it couldn't charge Matthew Farwell for killing Sandra Birchmore. I'm laying out exactly who it blamed, and what its own investigation actually did. The State Police unit that handled Sandra's death answers to the district attorney. Its troopers interviewed Farwell once, in a parking lot, with no recording and no notes. In that interview he said the affair started when Sandra was 22; prosecutors say it started at 15. They checked his phone only after he'd deleted his texts with her. Lt. John Fanning ran an interview with Farwell's twin William too, and William testified Fanning said he'd try to keep him off the report. This wasn't one bad trooper, and the record shows who signed off. The state Attorney General called its own investigation very active back in 2024 and hasn't charged anyone. Sandra's family hired Dr. Michael Baden, who concluded she was strangled, before any charge existed. Djuna Perkins takes over the office January 6th. Farwell is sentenced to mandatory life February 3rd. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sandra Birchmore had offered Matthew Farwell something months before she died, and Bob Motta of Defense Diaries says the day Farwell finally asked for it is what kept him off the witness stand. Motta says any honest answer to why Farwell wanted it would have sunk him, and any dishonest one would have been shredded by prosecutors who were ready for it. Sandra's apartment door had a deadbolt that locks only from outside and a knob lock that twists from inside. The maintenance man who opened the door doesn't remember which one was locked, and Motta says that gap still frustrates him. Retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke joins Tony to read the jury's two notes to the judge: one asking how much time was left in the day, the other saying jurors were deadlocked. Motta thinks they used that word loosely. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sandra Birchmore lived her life out loud, and that may be what convicts Matthew Farwell. Prosecutors spent the Matthew Farwell trial showing jurors how constantly Sandra talked and texted. Bob Motta of Defense Diaries says that was the whole point: her last text said the door was open, and after Farwell arrived, prosecutors say no message ever followed. Motta compares it to the Murdaugh case, where Paul Murdaugh's phone going quiet helped prosecutors place the time of death. Retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke says that when someone who can't stop talking suddenly stops, something devastating happened. Tony asks why jurors never learned what happened during the thirty to forty minutes Farwell was inside. The panel also takes on Sandra's online search for a suicide-awareness bracelet, and Dreeke reads it as resilience, not a warning sign.

Prosecutors told the jury in the Matthew Farwell trial that State Police decided Sandra Birchmore killed herself, even after her coworkers told a trooper about Farwell. In Tucson, the first deputies at Nancy Guthrie's home thought the blood on her porch might be from a nosebleed, according to The Wall Street Journal. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke cover both closing arguments in Farwell's federal trial, from the words he said to a fellow detective to his lawyer's claim that Sandra's pregnancy news was a cry for help. Then they turn to Nancy Guthrie: the scene released too soon, the DNA sent to a private lab, and the note writer who apologized to her family and then went silent. Farwell has pleaded not guilty. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos disputes the Journal's account. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Alex Murdaugh proved most of the case against his own character, and Part 1 is built on that record. His housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, fell on the steps at Moselle in 2018 and died twenty-four days later. The insurers were told the family's dogs tripped her. In a federal filing Alex admitted that version was his own invention, and the roughly $4.3 million in claim money never reached her two sons. On the stand in Walterboro he said he remembered lying to Tony Satterfield while looking him in the eye. Hakeem Pinckney was nineteen when a crash on I-95 left him paralyzed and on a ventilator. He died four days after his case settled, and a $309,581 check from that settlement went where Alex directed it instead. The thefts are settled law. The murders of Maggie and Paul are not, and he says he didn't do them. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

A note investigators believe came from Nancy Guthrie's abductor closed with an apology to her family. Nine months later, the person who knows where she is still hasn't said a word. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke dig into the secret at the center of the Nancy Guthrie case. The Feb. 6, 2026, note sent to a Tucson TV station claimed Nancy had died. It was written as "we," which raises the question of how many people are holding this secret together. Robin walks through what breaks people who stay quiet, why a $1.2 million reward hasn't done it, and what seeing Savannah Guthrie on television each morning does to the person responsible.

Alex Murdaugh's prosecutors admit two of their lead agent's grand jury claims were wrong, and they still want every murder indictment to stand. Their filing leans on State v. Thrift, a 1994 case that lets a judge toss an indictment only when misconduct substantially influenced it. Prosecutors say the Colleton County grand jury also heard about the kennel video, the phone data, the missing .300 Blackout and Alex's finances, and they argue that was enough for probable cause without the shirt. Alex's lawyers answer that SLED's own lab had found no human blood on that shirt eleven months before agent David Owen swore to the blood spatter claim, and that the fix is a new grand jury, not a pass. I set that beside the January 2024 hearing where the same office told Judge Jean Toal that Becky Hill's comments to jurors didn't matter. Alex is presumed innocent. Judge Debra McCaslin rules after November 13, 2026. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sandra Birchmore's family sat in a Boston federal courtroom and heard the word guilty for Matthew Farwell, and at the defense table Farwell's attorney rubbed his back. This is the Farwell trial verdict, start to finish. Sandra's cousin Barbara Wright said the deadlock felt like getting hit in the face with a brick, and friends and relatives held a vigil outside the courthouse. When the jury came back, Sandra's family gasped and people in the courtroom sobbed quietly. Farwell stared straight ahead with his back to the spectators, and a reporter in the room saw no noticeable reaction from him. His mother sniffled quietly in the gallery. At the news conference, Sandra's cousin Ray Cosgrove said Sandra mattered before anyone outside her family knew her name. The family thanked federal prosecutors for taking the case when, in their words, local authorities would not. U.S. Attorney Leah Foley said Farwell was boxed into a corner and needed to silence Sandra to keep his crimes from coming out. The jury convicted the former Stoughton detective of killing Sandra to keep her from reporting him, and of causing the death of Sandra's unborn son. Sentencing is February 3rd, and both counts carry life in prison. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Nancy Guthrie's front porch went three days without crime scene tape, according to The Wall Street Journal, while reporters, livestreamers and delivery drivers walked up to it. The blood on that porch turned out to be hers. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke look at what was lost in the first hours of the Nancy Guthrie investigation and the chances never taken all year. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told the Arizona Republic his department released her home too soon and had to go back for more evidence. Sources told Reuters he sent DNA to a private Florida lab when the FBI wanted it at Quantico. Robin also explains what investigators lose when a picture they wanted kept secret goes public. Nanos disputes the Journal's account of the early hours. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Lindsay Clancy's double jeopardy motion was denied on November 9, 2026, clearing prosecutors to try her again for the deaths of her three children. The defense argued that because the foreperson twice told Judge William Sullivan that one juror wasn't following the law on reasonable doubt, Sullivan should have replaced that juror with an alternate instead of declaring a mistrial. Sullivan answered that a Massachusetts judge can't remove a juror over how he votes, and that pressing the holdout further would have coerced him. Then he wrote the sentence that keeps this case alive. He also ruled the holdout's phone records and jury questionnaire stay out of the defense's hands, and he refused to gag Kevin Reddington. Prosecutors have said they'll retry Clancy but haven't said whether it's first-degree murder, which carries life without parole. I lay out every path from here, including the one that lets Sullivan decide the case alone.

Kimberly Stevens stood before a federal jury on Nov. 6, 2026, and told them Matthew Farwell did not kill Sandra Birchmore. Her closing painted Sandra as a lonely young woman who had built a fantasy around a married detective and his family. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke weigh what the defense put in front of the jury: the more than 80 people Sandra told about her pregnancy, the suicide ribbon search, and the locked apartment door. Robin explains what one internet search can and can't reveal about what a person is about to do. The defense also attacked the charge itself, arguing Sandra refused to report Farwell because she didn't want her private life put on trial. Farwell has pleaded not guilty and chose not to testify.

Prosecutors told a federal jury that Matthew Farwell planned Sandra Birchmore's death, and they pointed to something he said to a coworker to prove it. Stoughton detective Daniel Barber testified that around the end of 2020, Farwell told him what he had to do before everything would be all right. Tony and retired FBI behavior chief Robin Dreeke dig into the closing argument prosecutor Brian Fogerty gave on Nov. 6, 2026: Sandra's sudden silence on her phone, the mask Farwell wore into her lobby, and the sudden kindness Sandra told friends felt strange. They also look at the State Police investigators who heard Sandra was pregnant and in a torturous relationship with Farwell, then talked to him in a parking lot with no recording. Farwell has pleaded not guilty. His defense says Sandra died by her own hand. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Jennifer Coffindaffer, retired FBI special agent, joins me across three cases: Sandra Birchmore, Alex Murdaugh and Nancy Guthrie. Prosecutors say Matthew Farwell strangled Sandra in February 2021, and the state troopers who first looked at her death never got a warrant. A Stoughton dispatcher testified he was told to forget a call naming Farwell. Closing arguments begin November 6th. The day after Maggie and Paul Murdaugh were killed, Alex's brother cleaned the feed room himself because SLED had already released Moselle. Alex's lawyers want all four indictments thrown out on November 13th. Nancy Guthrie's case has a new phone lead from a private analyst, and Jen thinks the porch man used a radio, not a phone. Jen tells me which investigation she'd want to answer for first. Farwell has pleaded not guilty, and Alex is presumed innocent.

In June 2025, a Phoenix jury took less than an hour to convict Lori Vallow Daybell of conspiring to murder Brandon Boudreaux, who was married to her niece when someone shot at him. The shot shattered his car window outside his Gilbert, Arizona, home on October 2nd, 2019, and prosecutors say the gunman was Lori's brother, Alex Cox. Part 5 of The Book of Daybell asks what his wife, Melani Pawlowski, knew. That September, she asked Brandon for his new address, and Gilbert police say Alex's Google account searched it about 13 hours before the shot. A week after the shooting, investigators say Lori spent the night at Melani's house, the same day a masked man confronted Chad Daybell's wife, Tammy, in her Idaho driveway. Melani has never been charged in the shooting and maintains her innocence. Gilbert police say the case remains open.

Jennifer Coffindaffer, the retired FBI special agent who went to Tucson to work the Nancy Guthrie case herself, joins me on a new phone-data lead. A private analyst contacted her saying he'd flagged phones near Nancy's home in the weeks before February 1st that don't belong to the neighborhood. Investigators already widened their camera canvass to all of January within two miles, and sources say the masked man on Nancy's doorbell camera was there January 11th. Jen thinks the porch man used a radio, not a phone, and that's why the night-of phone data came up empty. Jen also answers why the second ransom note gave up and said Nancy was gone, when kidnappers usually fake proof of life to keep the money coming. The family reward is $1 million, on top of the FBI's $100,000. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Chris Hansen spent twenty years catching grown men who drove to houses to meet children, and A24's Primetime makes Hansen the villain. The studio made up a family for him and moved his real affair from 2011 to 2006, the same year a Texas prosecutor shot himself during one of Hansen's stings. Primetime ends on the Murphy, Texas sting, where the district attorney dropped the cases. It skips past the men choosing to drive to those houses and shows them crying instead. In Riverside County, the sheriff says one sting led to 50 arrests. A rabbi who told Hansen he wasn't there for anything good later swore at trial he thought he was chatting with an adult, and a federal judge sentenced him to 78 months.

Alex Murdaugh's family had the Moselle estate back before twelve hours had passed since Maggie and Paul were killed, and Mark Ball, Alex's law partner, testified about what he found there the next morning. Retired FBI Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me to break down SLED's handling of the case before the November 13th hearing on Alex's motion to dismiss. Alex's lawyers say the lead SLED agent told the grand jury an expert found the victims' blood on Alex's shirt. SLED's lab had reported no human blood on it in November 2021, in a report addressed to that agent, who says he didn't see it until November 2022. A sheriff's captain testified a tire track ending near Maggie's body matched no vehicle and was never photographed. Jen tells me how long agents should have held that scene. Alex is presumed innocent at his April 2027 retrial. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Matthew Farwell is accused of strangling Sandra Birchmore in her Canton apartment and staging it to look like she hanged herself, and his federal jury heard closing arguments November 6th. Farwell chose not to testify. His lawyer, Kimberly Stevens, called Sandra telling more than 80 people about her pregnancy a cry for help, said there wasn’t a shred of evidence he had her key, and said he wore the mask to hide an affair. I answer every one of those excuses with the testimony. Prosecutors say the man in her apartment when she died was Farwell, from 9:14 to 9:43. And Stevens finished with one sentence about Sandra and a strap that I’m not letting go. Deliberations resume Monday, November 9th.

The FBI didn't arrest Matthew Farwell until August 2024, more than three years after state troopers closed Sandra Birchmore's death as a suicide. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me on the investigation that let him walk, and who could pay for it. Trooper Matthew Dunne testified he skipped recording his parking-lot talk with Farwell so Farwell wouldn't shut down, and that Farwell lied about when the relationship began. William Farwell testified then-Sergeant John Fanning promised to try to keep William out of the state police report. State Police declined to comment on their investigators during the trial. Jen tells me whether ordering a dispatcher to forget a call about a fellow officer can be charged as a crime, and whose job it was to give the medical examiner the facts she never got. Farwell has pleaded not guilty. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Matthew Farwell's lawyers rested on Dr. Thomas Andrew, who couldn't call Sandra Birchmore's death a homicide and couldn't rule out that she hanged herself. Prosecutors got an admission out of him anyway. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins me as the Farwell trial heads to closing arguments on November 6th. The government says the former Stoughton detective strangled Sandra in February 2021 to keep her from exposing him, then made it look like a suicide. Farwell says she killed herself. His phone expert told jurors Sandra's step data can't show who was holding her iPhone at 9:40. His DNA expert said DNA can move from one surface to another, including inside the evidence bag that held the strap. Jen answers whether those defense answers hold up, and whether handing his phone to state police helps Farwell or hurts him.

A convicted fraudster opens her home to a documentary crew, then heads to federal prison. The cameras keep rolling. And the person holding the microphone, metaphorically and sometimes almost literally, is the man she leaves at home. That is one of the stranger questions in Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim’s You Can See Everything. Tony Brueski and psychotherapist Shavaun Scott trace the relationship story that runs through the film. Elizabeth Holmes testified about being sexually assaulted while attending Stanford and about Sunny Balwani’s reassurance afterward. Her account raises questions about vulnerability and trust. It does not answer whether every later relationship followed the same pattern, and it does not change the facts of the Theranos fraud conviction. Years later, Billy Evans is raising their two children while Holmes serves her sentence. Before she entered prison, she gave him power of attorney. He uses her verified X account, speaks publicly on her behalf, and appears in footage that has prompted viewers to examine the way the couple interacts. A kitchen scene in which he takes an egg-mixing bowl from her hands has become a focus of the conversation. But one awkward domestic moment is not proof of a controlling relationship. Evans has since said Holmes remains independent, that the pair discuss the account, and that the power of attorney is a legal mechanism rather than permission to ignore her wishes. That matters. So does the gap between how a family experiences its own arrangements and how those arrangements look to strangers through a filmmaker’s lens. Shavaun and Tony consider how dependence, image management, love, and authority can overlap without pretending to know what either partner thinks in private. Holmes has a scheduled transition to an Austin-area halfway house in August 2027. The bigger question is who speaks when she is able to return to everyday life.

Lindsay Clancy left the first criminal trial without a verdict. Eleven jurors favored finding her not guilty by reason of insanity; a lone holdout disagreed, and Judge William Sullivan declared a mistrial. At the November 2 hearing, the defense asked to end the prosecution on double-jeopardy grounds. Prosecutors indicated they expect to retry the case, but Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Sprague would not pin down whether that means first-degree murder or lesser charges. Sullivan said he would revisit the motions November 16 and discussed a possible spring trial. Meanwhile, there is a separate dispute over words that may or may not ever be spoken under oath. Patrick Clancy has brought a wrongful-death suit against mental-health providers who treated Lindsay before the deaths of their children, Cora, Dawson, and Callan. His attorney, Howard Cooper, told a judge he believes Lindsay will testify she expressly warned providers about homicidal thoughts toward the children. Lindsay's criminal attorney, Kevin Reddington, rejected that account the same evening. He said she did not tell providers that, has not agreed to testify, and is not represented by Patrick's lawyer. The providers are seeking dismissal of the civil suit, arguing in part that Massachusetts law limits their duty to warn or protect others when no explicit qualifying threat has been communicated. That is a legal argument, not a judicial finding of fault or innocence. Lindsay also has a separate civil action alleging problems with her treatment. Bob Motta joins Tony Brueski and Robin Dreeke to unpack why a criminal lawyer would be watching a civil hearing so closely. What happens when a proposed witness's words are described before she has agreed to take the stand? And how much can a prosecutor decide before the court rules on dismissal? The answers have to come from the record, not a confident headline. Listen Anywhere You Get Podcasts: https://pod.link/1655749292 Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

The first official story about Sandra Birchmore’s death was suicide. By the time Dr. María del Mar Capó-Martínez performed the autopsy in February 2021, the documentation she received from Canton police and Massachusetts State Police already used that description. The medical examiner later testified that her office had not been asked to visit the scene and that she relied on information supplied by investigators. When she sought updates, there was reportedly nothing new to report. That is the first half of this combined Hidden Killers episode. The second is what happened when the original finding no longer seemed so certain. In April 2026, the manner of death changed from suicide to undetermined. Prosecutors say that earlier conclusion was influenced by a poor investigation; the defense says undetermined is not the same as homicide and asks jurors to respect the uncertainty. Tony Brueski, former prosecutor turned defense attorney Eric Faddis, and retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke confront the gap between the medical paperwork and the physical case. DNA testing found Matthew Farwell was not the father of the child Sandra was carrying. Farwell’s lawyers use that result to challenge the alleged motive. Prosecutors answer that Sandra told Farwell the baby was his and argue that what a person believed at the time can matter more than what testing later proved. The defense also emphasizes the reported lack of defensive DNA beneath Sandra’s fingernails and the absence of torn clothing or clear struggle marks. Farwell denies killing Sandra and has pleaded not guilty. He faces federal charges tied to the alleged killing of a witness and her unborn child, not an ordinary state murder prosecution. What did the original investigators fail to ask, and which remaining uncertainties should a jury refuse to overlook?

Jennifer Coffindaffer went to Tucson looking for more than the public statements about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. She wanted to know what people were saying when cameras and microphones were not pointed at them. At El Charro, a restaurant Nancy reportedly favored, the retired FBI agent talked with staff and diners about whether they thought Nancy was alive. Her account is bleak. Coffindaffer says nobody in that room expressed confidence Nancy would be found alive. A table of Minnesota visitors talked about the Jacob Wetterling case, a tragedy they remembered from home. A man declined to answer repeatedly while his wife criticized the sheriff. Two restaurant hostesses said they did not know Nancy’s name. That mixture of grief, distrust and unfamiliarity is revealing, but it is a collection of personal reactions, not evidence of what happened to Nancy. Coffindaffer says she also spent a week asking residents of the Catalina Foothills about local theories. She describes five different accounts from five sources. One came from an affluent part of the neighborhood and left her stunned. She is explicit that she has no evidence to support that story. She also says she has an idea she has not yet aired, and she checked roads toward the border rather than treating anyone’s map of events as settled fact. Tony Brueski sits down with Coffindaffer and retired FBI behavioral expert Robin Dreeke to examine why an unresolved case develops so many confident storytellers. They discuss what a neighborhood interview can reveal about fear, what it cannot prove about a suspect and why a compelling rumor is not a substitute for a documented lead. Nancy Guthrie remains the person at the center of this, not a character in somebody else’s theory.
