Drop Dead Serious With Ashleigh Banfield

On Day 65 of the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, a major new twist has now emerged in the Nancy Guthrie case. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down stunning new reporting tied to the original ransom notes sent to TMZ and Tucson media outlets, including the revelation that those first two notes allegedly threatened to kill Nancy Guthrie and that Harvey Levin says the FBI believes those original messages were real and may have come from the actual kidnappers. If you have any information, call 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Savannah Guthrie returned to TODAY, but the mystery surrounding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, is still impossible to ignore. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down Savannah’s emotional return to the show, the moments that stood out, and the questions that still remain about Nancy’s disappearance. Joining Ashleigh is Brian Balthazar, veteran television producer and longtime Today contributor, to give insight into Savannah’s return.

On Day 64 in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie speaks publicly in an emotional Easter message just hours before her return to the Today show, while new questions continue swirling around the investigation into her mother’s case. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down Savannah’s heartfelt remarks, the significance of her message, the growing scrutiny over how the Nancy Guthrie investigation has been handled, and the latest controversy surrounding Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.

For weeks now, one disturbing question has been hanging over the Nancy Guthrie case: is the blood on her front porch just spatter, or could it contain trace evidence that might help identify whoever took her?  On Day 62 in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Ashleigh Banfield zeroes in on one of the most unsettling details in the entire case and brings in three top forensic experts to help break it down. Dr. Peter Valentin, Associate Professor and Chair of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven, joins the show alongside Dr. Laura Pettler, forensic criminologist and founder of LPA, and Dr. Ken Kinsey, forensic crime scene analyst and reconstruction expert known to many as the state’s expert witness in the Alex Murdaugh trial. Together, they examine the blood evidence, the possible shoe print, and the competing theories about what may have happened on Nancy Guthrie’s porch as the search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother stretches into Day 62.

On Day 60 in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, investigators are now digging into a new angle in the case: contractors, subcontractors, and day laborers who may have had access to Nancy’s home or her neighborhood. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down new reporting that law enforcement is now trying to track down the many workers who may have been coming and going around the property, a process one source described as “a mess.” Ashleigh is joined by retired detective Clint Cole, who helped solve the Nancy Woodrum case, to explain how investigators approach contractor-heavy cases, why these leads can be so difficult to untangle, and why the police may have already spoken to the suspect. If you have any information, call 1-800-CALL-FBI.
